Q&A

What does good mental health look like to you?
To me, good mental health looks like constantly learning and growing. It's allowing yourself to live authentically, being kind to yourself when you make mistakes, and using your experience to figure out what's important to you. Good mental health looks different for everyone, so it's hard to describe what it is. It's easier to describe what it isn't: being "happy" all the time. It's more about finding meaning in all of your experiences.
What do you do to take care of your own mental health?
One thing I do to take care of my own mental health is to lean into the things that make me feel like me. Whether that means spending time with people that you can be yourself around, or watching your favourite show, it's healthy to do things that reinforce your identity, and make you feel like yourself. Feeling good and like yourself increases your confidence, improves your relationships, and maintains your mental health.
What is an internal challenge that you've had recently?
One internal challenge that I had recently was a life transition that made me doubt myself. As I was going through it, all of the uncertainty made me anxious, but as the transition happened, I realized that it was an opportunity rather that a setback.
