Today’s Back to School Toolkit is written by our very own AIM Youth Ambassador, Rima! ⁠

Heading back to school can bring a mix of excitement and stress—and a little prep goes a long way. 🎒 ⁠

Our Back-to-School Toolkit is packed with simple, supportive ways to protect your mental health as the year kicks off. From managing stress to building routines, small steps make a big difference. 💚 Save this for when you need it, and share it with someone starting a new chapter.

Read the full toolkit through the link in our bio!

Sometimes the reason we show up is someone we couldn’t forget. 💚

Last week, AIM was grateful to be a charity partner of @concoursforacause. Rich Watson chose AIM for his charity donation and here he shares why AIM’s mission is so personal to him — and his hope that every young person knows they are never out of options. You are not alone, and help is always within reach. 🌱

Collective care looks like sharing a meal, joining a mutual aid group, or lending a caring ear. Together, we can do far more than we could alone.⁠
