Does life feel like it’s moving at 100mph while you’re stuck in slow motion? 🌀 We get it. It’s exhausting trying to keep up when you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just plain lonely.

But you don’t have to sit in that heavy feeling alone. 💙 NAMI has a HelpLine specifically for Teens & Young Adults. It’s a safe, confidential space to vent, ask questions, or just have someone listen who actually understands.

No judgment. Just support. Save this for when you (or a friend) need it. 🫶

If you’re feeling stressed right now, you are not alone.

Did you know that 89% of adults experience heightened stress during the holiday season? Between financial pressures and the expectation to find the "perfect" gift, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But sacrificing your mental health shouldn’t be part of the tradition. 🎄🧠

As this graphic reminds us: 🔹 It is okay to set financial boundaries. 🔹 It is okay to give personal, non-monetary gifts. 🔹 Helping others is a powerful way to alleviate anxiety for everyone involved.

This year, prioritize your well-being over your wallet.
