We are an avid group of students from Southwest Guilford High School motivated to emphasize the importance of self-care by educating you to take care of your mental health and well-being.
We provide daily posts about self-care and reach out to our community as much as possible through stories and interactable posts. These posts will inform you how to improve your mental health through self-care.

¨I believe that before you can care for others, you must take care for yourself. That is why Self-Care and Mental Health awareness are so important to me. Through Self Care-apy, we have spread the message of prioritizing your mental well-being by building an audience on Instagram and TikTok. Through this project, I have been able to not only share this passion of mine but also meet people who are also passionate about Self-Care and Mental Health.¨

"When starting Self Careapy, I wanted to make a positive impact on my peers. It is important to explore different self-care and mental health methods because I want to encourage my peers to practice self-care. At the end of the day, you never know what someone might be going through and I feel that this page will have a big impact on learning about mental health and self-care."

"Self-care and mental health means a lot to me as that is something I am very passionate about and also something I love researching about. Self-care overall is very important in our community as it can help to deal with/prevent any future mental health effects. The members and I of Self Careapy want to expand on the importance of self-care in mental health and help teach it to our peers."

"Self-care is an essential aspect of our daily life. It is what helps us to give time to reflect on ourselves and also a way for us to relax to find peace in ourselves. Always having breaks is important as people can overwork and burn out. This is where self-care comes into play to prevent burn-outs and also to maintain a healthy body state (mentally, physically, and spiritually). Self Care-apy was created for the reason to spread awareness of self-care to our community to further make a more lively and healthy environment."

"Self-care is an experience that elevates mental, physical, and emotional health. The benefits that come with prioritizing a person's own needs and health can increase quality of life. By recharging our mental and emotional health we can have a positive impact on both ourselves and others. Self-care is also a practice and should be implemented in our daily lives, lowering the risk of stress, anxiety, and depression. As Self Care-apy, we want our community to recognize the importance of taking time for ourselves and respecting all states of our wellbeing."

"Self-care is something that I was not proficient in, so when I joined this group I wanted to help not only myself but others learn what good self-care is and the healthy benefits of self-care. I promoted self-care so people can be happier and healthier by having a more positive mindset. I also wanted to spread awareness on the matter since I've seen many people who are close to me feeling down or depressed, and I always wanted to help them, so by spreading awareness on the benefits of self-care I helped improve the mental health of those around me."
