Mindfulness Month!
Through our Instagram, we decided to post daily mindfulness tips through the month of January! We focused on how difficult the new year and seasonal depression can get in the month of January. Our posts hone in on activities and challenges that focus on self care and overall mental health for our peers.
An Instagram post describing Mindfulness Month.
All of our 31 Mindfulness Month Posts
Through our daily mindfulness posts we wanted to help our peers focus on the small things that can make life better! One protective factor for suicide prevention is feeling connected to others and yourself. Our goal was to help make others feel like they were connected to a safe space and could always look forward to another post.

Our podcast on Spotify, titled "Speak Up Save A Life", talks about the prevention, awareness, and statistics of suicide and self harm among teens. Our first episode is an introduction of us and how our project came to be what it is today! During our other episodes, we focus on our risk factors: the stigma around mental health, and the idolization of suicide and depression in media, as well as our protective factors: feeling connected to your community and finding reasons for living!

On our Instagram and Facebook pages, we also post information and statistics of suicide and self harm within teens. We did this to bring more awareness to the topic within our targeted audience. As teens, we often try to avoid statistics or information outside of school, but we thought if we posted it in a clear and fun way, the message would reach further audiences!
