"I like to let my ❤️ walk in the room before me. How do you make others feel? You know, how do you show up for others? How do you spread love? I truly try to make sure that I can be there for the people that I can in any way possible." -@HamlinIsland #ProtectThisMind @UnderArmour

Last week in NYC, we brought together young people, advocates, researchers, and community leaders to explore how connection, kindness, and collaborating with young people for youth mental health can shape stronger communities of care. 💖 Thank you to everyone who joined us!

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, a reminder that living with lupus can affect more than your physical health. 💜 For young people especially, navigating a chronic condition can feel isolating and having the right support can make a real difference. We spoke with Dr. Claudia Fernandes of @BTWFoundation about mental health, peer support, and how to start conversations when someone may be struggling. Her advice: you don’t need to have the perfect words - you just need to be willing to take the first step. Read the full Q&A to learn more: bit.ly/3VXJ7vs #Lupus #LupusResearch #MentalHealth
