Taking care of our minds and bodies isn't always easy. There can be so many demands, expectations, and pressures that make it hard to slow down! Take a second to reflect on these questions and see if there is one small thing you can do to meet your needs in these areas of life. You deserve it 🌟

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month 💙 This month (and every month), we want to recognize that many young people experience sexual violence and remind you that support is out there. You are not alone.

If you or someone you know has been impacted, YouthLine is here to listen and help connect you to resources in your community. You deserve support, care, and to be heard.

You can also find local resources through the National Sexual Violence Resource Center: www.nsvrc.org/find-help/

As we wrap up March and 's March Mentor Madness, we're taking one last moment to reflect on the topic of trusted adults. Here is one more of our peer volunteers talking about who her trusted adult is and why. YouthLine has been super happy to get to partner with SoS to talk about the importance of trusted adults and mentors in our lives. This topic is so important, and even as we wrap up this campaign, we hope to continue the conversation around having a good support system.

We know how hard it can be to find an adult that we trust with our thoughts and feelings, but hope that talking about different options can help us think about where we might look in order to find an adult that can be there for us.

Staff highlight 💜

YouthLine continues to grow! This pic is from a recent Medford event where our Southern Oregon Regional Outreach Coordinator, Pan, is expanding su***de prevention efforts across the southernmost counties of the state.

It's normal to get overwhelmed, triggered, or overstimulated. Life can be a lot to manage, and emotions can be hard to regulate at times. Next time you feel like you need help cooling down, try out one of these mindfulness skills :) Need more ideas? Reach out to YouthLine for more support.
