SIESTA still invites folx who identify as Latinx/Hispanic & are 18-25 years old to participate in our study. We are researching how certain aspects of a cultural experience can affect mental/physical health -- especially sleep! #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Surrounding yourself with trusted friends and family who are supportive and elevating can help mitigate the mental and physical effects of chronic stress caused by racism, says @DrWillMingLiu cnbc.com/2021/05/25/rac…

There's a fine line between stress and anxiety. Learning the difference can help you accurately identify your symptoms and get the help you need. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth apa.org/topics/stress/…

Its finals season... Give this a try to reduce some stress!

Feeling overwhelmed? Try this: One by one, tense each muscle group in your body for 10 seconds and then release. Why it works: Actively relaxing your muscles can increase energy and flexibility, helping you feel calmer. #StressAwarenessMonth

Gradually adjust your sleep and wake times. Shift your bedtime 15 to 20 minutes earlier each night for a few nights before the time change. #DaylightSavingTime bit.ly/3rthiap

Valentine's Day was yesterday. While giving love to others, remember to give some love back to yourself. This quick guide by the Mental Health Coalition has some great tips about how to help you practice self-love and self-care!

Remember that everyone deserves self-love, and that certainly includes you. Practicing self-love doesn’t make you selfish — it only makes you caring. Happy Valentine’s Day. #selflove #mentalhealthcoalition

On this MLK day, lets take time to reflect upon his words, actions, and legacy. Check out Dr. King's challenge to the nation's social scientists during the APA Annual Convention from 1967.

In a powerful speech at our 1967 Annual Convention, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called on social scientists to help change a society ‘poisoned to its soul by racism' & stressed the role of psychological research in aiding racial understanding & equality. apa.org/monitor/featur…
