As we celebrate Giving Tuesday, AIM Youth Mental H

As we celebrate Giving Tuesday, AIM Youth Mental Health reflects on a transformative year marked by growth, innovation, and unwavering commitment to the mental well-being of our youth.
The achievements of 2024 (which you can read more about in our Impact Report on our blog) are a direct result of the generosity and support from individuals like you.
As we look forward to continuing our mission, we invite you to join us this Giving Tuesday. Your donation will empower youth, fund essential research, and provide critical resources to those in need.
Together, we can create a world where every young person has the support and resources to thrive mentally and emotionally.

Sometimes life throws curveballs, and a little retail therapy feels like the answer. Remember to prioritize real self-care that goes beyond the checkout screen.

Some of our favorite self-care activities include:

🖤 Art or Creativity: Start a new DIY project, journal about your thoughts, or dive into digital art. Expression = empowerment.
🖤 Move Your Body: Whether it’s a dance session, yoga, or a walk outside, movement boosts your mood and energy.
🖤 Invest in Knowledge: Buy a book that inspires or teaches you something new—it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
🖤Treat Your Mind: Try a meditation app or explore mindfulness practices. It’s like a spa day for your brain.
🖤 Connect: Call a friend, plan a coffee date, or write a letter (yes, old school, but so sweet).
👀 Pro-Tip: If you do shop, aim for intentional purchases. Support brands with values you align with or find thrifted treasures that don’t hurt your wallet or the planet.

Boundaries aren’t about separating ourselves from our loved ones. They are about creating space to honor our needs so that we can show up for our loved ones to the best of our ability.

There are many different types of boundaries: physical, emotional, conversational, resource, spiritual, and so on.
