This is a cool cartoon picture with the code to improving your mental health and well-being.

Sometimes a pretty picture just doesn’t cut it. What if you don’t speak the code? What if it’s so hard to get started? What if you don’t understand the code or thought you did, but it’s not working?

Reach out. Please reach out. Call BYA, speak to a trusted adult, or friend, call help lines - they’re all listed on our website, chat with a teacher you trust, start with just one of the codes - exercise or write down 3 things you’re grateful for, take a hot bath, bail on social media for an hour, say no to something you feel in your gut isn’t right for you. You’re worth it. 💙❤️🖤💛💚🧡💜
