Self-care is defined as the practice of taking an active role in protecting one's own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress. What is something you plan to do for self-care before the end of Summer? #Compeer #Self-Care #CheckOnYourFriends #Summer

The dynamic Compeer duo of Kaylee and Heidi were at Schilller Park Senior Center today to discuss how we can all talk stigma with Erie County Anti-Stigma Coalition when it comes to one's overall mental health. #LetsTalkStigma #Compeer #MentalHealth #MentalWellness

Simone Biles is the latest athlete to bring mental health to the forefront. Compeer supports positive mental health through meaningful friendship and provides education so others can do the same. #MentalHealth #Friendship #Olympics nbcnews.com/news/olympics/si…

Simone Biles is the latest athlete vocal about mental health

Biles — who told reporters Tuesday there’s “more to life than gymnastics" — is another in a series of athletes who have publicly prioritized their mental health firmly above their athletic pursuits.

In 2020, 16-year-old Ava McCarville hit her lowest point. She didn't care about graduating from Maryvale High School. Stopped talking to friends. Today, she's on track to graduate. She credits @CompeerBuffalo with helping her make it through. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth @WKBW

Sometimes it's difficult to talk about mental health, but we need to do more of it. We applaud the courage in Naomi Osaka for communicating the importance of mental health and encouraging others to do the same. ow.ly/beYx50F0vTs

Naomi Osaka Reveals Mental Health Struggles — And Other Athletes Rally Around Her

Leaving the French Open, the tennis star says she's suffered long bouts of depression since 2018. Top athletes praised her bravery and decried systems that don't give athletes the support they need.
