Author Description

Over 50% of people in the United States alone are diagnosed with a mental illness before the end of their lifetime, and 1 out of every 5 people experience a mental health issue in any given year according to the CDC. It is more common than cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, yet, mental health often gets sidelined when we think of our overall health and wellness. But mental health is undeniably an equally important part of our overall health.Inside Your Mind explores the world of mental health with you-its ups and downs, historical evolution, exciting future advancements, and more! We all experience unique mental health journeys, and this book aims to normalize the conversation around mental health in hopes of squashing its stigma. Inside Your Mind was written to empower you to be inspired to become a proactive advocate for your mental health and learn the necessary tools to introduce positive, healthy practices in your life. Beyond this, we hope for you to not only become comfortable in your skin but also learn how to give yourselves the love and compassion you show others.The content of Inside Your Mind stems from the curriculum distributed by Fulphil, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that has created engaging and fun trajectory-changing educational content for thousands of youth nationally to empower them to build compassion and equip them with the skills needed to create a positive impact on the world. But first, that must begin with how we take care of ourselves!
