As my time here comes to an end, I want to briefly reflect on my experience at mindyourmind. The past three months has been the perfect combination of challenging, fun, and rewarding. Topics around mental health and mental wellness were never my strong suit, so working for mindyourmind was the perfect opportunity for me. As such, researching mental health campaigns, available resources/mental help centers, and different disorders has taught me the basic facts and statistics about the subject. But the most important takeaway was learning and appreciating the importance of openly sharing our mental health issues without any judgment – in hopes of reducing the stigma that is attached to mental illnesses. 

 

Aside from the work, I am very thankful to have worked with some of the nicest, most loving, and funny people that I have ever met. The warm and welcoming working environment allowed me to quickly adjust and be more comfortable around the office. 

 

I want to thank the entire mindyourmind staff, and especially Heather and Nathan for giving me, the great pleasure of allowing me to be a part of such a wonderful organization.
