Our Non-COVID Topics
Our team built this list from scratch. We’ve identified the most daunting mental health issues our generation faces, and we need your help to address them.
Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity
Growing up means learning who you truly are. Often times, that can include clashes with identity, image, and societal pressures. Creating a positive and accepting environment for yourself and others, regardless of who they are, is essential for those finding their path through school and young adulthood.
Healthy Social Media Habits
Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, and apparently also TikTok - they can all be amazing methods of communication and entertainment, but at what cost? Learning how to set limits, practice healthy restraint, and decipher between banter and bullying can make the difference between a fun app and a digital anchor.
Suicide Prevention
An estimated one in five youth in the United States have a mental health condition. As difficult as it is to comprehend, suicide prevention is an important topic for all of us. Even it’s not part of your own personal struggle, leaning the warning signs could make all the difference to a friend or family member.
The Importance of Sleep
We’ve all heard it before: Get your eight hours! Unfortunately, most of us have also heard “I got a whole 5 hours of sleep last night. Good thing for coffee!” Why does it actually matter how much sleep we get? Understanding the critical value of proper sleep habits and learning how to get the most out of your rest might even make Mondays bearable.
Mindfulness
Practice makes perfect. There are plenty of simple tricks you can do every day to improve your mental health. Even a quick minute of controlled breathing can change the trajectory of your day. Mindfulness is as important to your health as exercise and proper dieting.
Managing School and Stress
School is rough. Even mega-geniuses have bad days. At the same time, they’re supposed to be some of the best years of your life! Maybe it’s not exactly High School Musical, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make the most of it. With healthy time management, social and study skills, and insights into balancing the pre-college workload, we can all find our way through it together.
We keep it local.
Community is a crucial aspect of recovery. Unity has been at the forefront of our mission from its beginning. For instance, all of our participating resources are based in this region, meaning they’re ready to provide personalized support to anyone seeking their assistance.
