There are so many things that can make you feel 'other'. No matter what it is, you are not alone. How is community critical to your healing journey?

"Don’t get me wrong. I like showers. But it’s one thing off my plate."

What is something about your hair that may seem small to others, but is actually a big deal? #hairishealth #MentalHealthMatters #selfcare #LupusAwarenessMonth
#MentalLoad Those things takin up space in your brain; blockin your ability to be fully yourself; that you carry alone because you’re unsure anyone understands; isolation compounding the mental load. This is #hairloss. This is anxiety #HairIsHealth #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

#Mentalhealth is one of the most important aspects of our wellbeing and ability to thrive. And our #healthcare systems are not serving us all effectively. We're eager to reimagine more #equitable, integrated, actually supportive healthcare system. Are you?
