I have been tuning in to the Olympics over the last week and wanted to share my thoughts about Simone Biles and her decision to put her own mental health over the expectations of pretty much everyone else. Along with some other thoughts about the courageous beach volleyball team who stood up for themselves despite the threat of being fined.
Our mental health is important and many times, not addressed. Here are some online links to numbers and websites where you can find help:
For mental health and substance abuse problems: https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/national-helpline or call 1-800-662-HELP
To help you find a mental health counselor: https://www.goodtherapy.org/find-mental-health-counselors.html
To explore online therapy: https://myonlinetherapy.com/
Please note, I am not endorsing any of these resources, just providing the information.
