Mental health professionals include: psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, Associates, students in a mental health masters program, and case managers! Our focus will be to continue organizing MeetUps for mental health professionals to come together to engage in indoor/outdoor social events, networking, personal and professional development (by providing opportunities for you to share your knowledge and facilitate workshops, trainings, speaking engagements). Our intention is to build community, learn from one another and have fun in the process.

About the #loveyoself Campaign:

PsychoSocial decided to collaborate with a few people who wanted to share their positive affirmations with you! The goal is to promote self love and increase our empathy towards ourselves. We will be releasing one by one of our beautiful images weekly! We hope you feel inspired! "We exercise daily to keep our bodies in shape and healthy. Why not exercise our minds by practicing positive affirmation exercises." Positive affirmations are empowering statements we create to help challenge negative thinking patterns. Most of us struggle daily with an influx of unhelpful thoughts that lead to low self-esteem and low self-worth. Using positive affirmations helps us practice self-love so we can begin to make positive changes in our lives. These powerful statements are unique to each individual and can continously inspire us in our journey to healing.

If you would like to share your own picture with positive affirmations please DM is so we can share with the rest of our followers!
