Checking In Even When Things Seem "Fine"

Let's Do This

A quick “How are you really doing today?” can open the door to meaningful conversation. Mental health isn’t always visible, so showing you care consistently makes a difference. Pick a day this week to intentionally check in with a young person. 

• Take a short walk together
• Color or draw
• Make a gratitude list
• Try a 5-minute breathing exercise

Stay Inspired

You don't have to fix everything. Just showing up with care and consistency is powerful.
