  8. Hey Meagan, great post! These are all wonderful suggestions, and it’s so nice to see someone putting a list like this out there. I actually just started a mental health-focused blog where I’m sharing a combination of personal experiences and information I learned in psychology graduate school. I think you might enjoy it, as it fits right in with the others you’ve mentioned here. The site address is https://theselfevolved.com if you’re interested (the introvert in me is cringing at trying to put this out there; so scary and hard)! Anyway, keep up the good work, and thank you for shining some light on the importance of mental health!
