Bring a sense of spaciousness into your day with a quick breathing exercise.
Meditation teacher Dora shows us how to pause and reconnect with the present moment.
Give yourself permission to deeply feel Black joy.
Whether it’s due to stigma, lack of access, or provider biases, Black communities are often overlooked when it comes to mental health — even though racism, microaggressions, and the news cycle can disproportionately affect Black minds.
Only 1 in 3 Black adults who need mental health care receive it.
Mental healthcare providers have historically been biased, causing resistance to care within Black communities.
Black people may be more likely to describe physical symptoms related to mental health problems.
Together, we can help to break the cycle by encouraging more people to look after their minds from a young age. If your fraternity or sorority chapter works with local youth programs, let them know that Headspace is always free for teens and educators.
