Mental Health

Grief is a deeply personal and often misunderstood experience. It doesn’t follow a straight path or a timeline. It doesn’t look the same for everyone. And while it’s commonly associated with the death of a loved one, grief can stem from any significant loss, including a relationship ending, a major life transition, the loss of a job, a serious health diagnosis, or even a shift in personal identity.

The transition from high school to college is a significant milestone in a young adult’s life that is filled with excitement, new responsibilities, and, understandably, a fair amount of uncertainty. At Body and Mindfully Healthy, we understand how emotionally complex this time can be, and we’re here to support that journey.

When we think about wellness, we often separate it into categories that include physical health, mental health, emotional wellbeing. The truth is that they are all deeply interconnected.

Access to mental health care is a vital part of overall well-being. Many people grapple with mental health challenges, and yet, a significant number do not receive the care they need. Understanding why accessible mental health care is essential is crucial for nurturing healthier communities.

Survivors are labeled as "disordered" for their understandable reactions to harm, while the individuals responsible for their trauma, the perpetrators, are far less likely to receive scrutiny or diagnoses for their actions. This disparity not only compounds the burden on survivors but also overlooks the significant damage caused by those who perpetuate abuse and trauma.
