I’m reposting this @DrAmyMarschall tweet from a year ago because it’s always going to be true. Also this is National #SchoolCounselingWeek and #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek. You have a much better chance of meeting your child’s #mentalhealth needs if you’re open to outside help. pic.twitter.com/TETWsSfWiK

Wonder why I post about plants or teddy bears when I should be talking about #suicideprevention, #mentalhealth, or #griefsupport? @refugeingrief reminds us that tending a garden or something else because you can’t look after your person is #PerfectlyNormal in grief. #MeganDevine pic.twitter.com/Sbpixcfbtd

Inspired by a pandemic binge of both @TheRepairShop and @laundrypatric, I performed a rehab of my well loved and well worn #plushpolarbear, Traveling Wilbury! He was my first Christmas gift from my now-husband when we started dating in 1990. ❤️💙💛#stuffedanimalrehab #teddybear pic.twitter.com/fmF3LQtyLe

#LibraryLoversMonth: I posted recently about how much Rader enjoyed making things. So I was delighted to come across this story about 8yo #DillonHelbig, who wrote and illustrated a book and then placed it on a library shelf to be discovered! https://t.co/zbEmlvMl2E

Important to read: the death of Cheslie Kryst and what we misunderstand about suicide among Black Americans. Such thought-provoking information from @rheedawalkerphd — author of The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health — whom you should follow. https://t.co/IZYGeEjOTN

Rader loved to make things; here are just a few examples from various ages. I’m excited @ReCraftGVL just opened to offer space and materials for folks like us who want to repurpose stuff into our #creative work! They take donated supplies as well. Check them out! ❤️💙💛 #recraft pic.twitter.com/VBSB8ONrQ0

Someone to follow for #BlackHistoryMonth (and every month, since he’s amazing): @NikkyWalks, my personal favorite @HamiltonMusical Aaron Burr. He will be tweeting about members of the Black community living and thriving with varying #mentalhealth diagnoses. https://t.co/uL3F12z9B8
