May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and at Barter Up, we believe that mental health is a crucial component of overall well-being. Our organization is dedicated to fostering community collaboration and mutual aid, and we believe that supporting each other's mental health is an important part of that work.

Mental health affects all of us, and it's essential that we prioritize our mental health and the mental health of those around us. This month, we encourage you to take time to check in with yourself and others, to have conversations about mental health, and to seek out resources and support if you need it.

Remember that mental health is a journey, and it's okay to not be okay. Our organization is here to support you, and we believe that together, we can create a community where everyone feels supported and valued.
