Happy New Year!
January
January is Mental Wellness Month
January 18 we are celebrating Mental Health Resources Day in Houston, TX!
Mental Health Resources Day
With Mental Health Resources Day, we aim to educate the community of local, state, and national resources available for mental health support, from local psychiatrists to NAMI. With speakers from SAMHSA, the Houston Recovery Center, and so many other local services, this event is sure to be both fun and informative!
Volunteer Spotlight
This month we are spotlighting Jimi! Jimi has become an Emerging Scholar through the Emerging Scholars Fellowship Program with Active Minds, and we are lucky enough to have him as a volunteer! He is a valued team member and we are so thankful that he helps with our Youtube channel. Thank you, Jimi!
DAISY’s Book Club
Reading has been shown to improve empathy, and it can help us use our phones less, so reading is a great hobby to pick up! This month, DAISY recommends The Anxious Generation by Johnathon Haidt. This book is really informative on the mental health issues that kids, teens and young adults are now facing with the onslaught of technology, social media and ever-changing social pressures.

Bullying is out – Kindness is in.
Bullying is a near-universal experience. Most people have been bullied or have bullied others, in one form or another. Bullying can be verbal, physical, or social, so even excluding someone intentionally can be considered bullying. This November, try to include others in social situations and being extra kind to those who you think might be getting bullied.
DAISY’s Book Club
DAISY read you are not alone: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Mental Health by Ken Duckworth, MD. This guide includes real stories on people’s experiences with mental health, various therapies and coping methods, so it is both relatable and helpful. It does not really provide a framework on when/where/how to seek help, but it does explore different mental illnesses and treatment options.
