THIS ART FESTIVAL WILL BE RUNNING FROM 
NOW UNTIL JUNE 10TH 
IT'S FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC




This is a reminder to break the Stigma Around The Topic of Mental Health and talking about things like: Depression, Suicide, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Anxiety, Body Dysmorphia, Anorexia, Eating Disorders, Orthorexia, Bulimia, Paranoia, and so much more.  We all deserve to talk openly and freely about our mental health just as much as we talk about our physical health and fitness. If you know someone who is struggling with mental health embrace them, give them a hug, ask them if they're okay, give them a call, invite them out for a walk, be their friend, love them back, be kind, smile, and understand that they deserve as much respect as you do.

Hope to see you at We Rise LA!

If you'd like to get trained in Mental Health First Aid (It's like a CPR course and is 8-hours in length.) This course teaches you how to help someone who is experiencing a mental health or substance abuse challenge.

    1. It is! Thank you for stopping by Ivana. Mental health is becoming more of a concern and we need to start talking about it now because so many people continue to suffer in silence.

    2. so true, nobody should suffer in silence. Mental pain is not only real, it is also proven that individuals who suffer from mental pain are more likely to have other health problems and complications.

  5. Nice Information thanks for sharing Individual Counseling is an opportunity to examine issues within the privacy of a psychotherapeutic session. During the Individual Counseling sessions, one can discuss identity issues, concerns about their intimate relationship, or feelings of depression or anxiety. Lots of people have reaped immense benefit out of it, and the next one could be you.

  7. Shift today from dates to week number as your project deadline. Know about what week of the year is it to get rid of the hustle and bustle that is faced in the last minute of the project submission. This proves helpful in quickly figuring out what time remains behind and completing the task before time. https://speakerdeck.com/kevinflick
