It can be scary to be the first one to bring up mental health—oddly enough, just talking about it can be the start of normalizing it. The stigma around mental health can create fear, but when we normalize talking about mental health, that fear naturally dissipates. Get the conversation started, and check out one of our support groups such as our Depression Support Group. You can find more info about our support groups on our website https://ow.ly/ePjz50TTMZq or check out our link in bio for more info. #mentalhealth #peer #october

Let the games begin 🏆 The Aaron Alcorn-Hole Memorial Tournament is a celebration of beloved community member Aaron Alcorn, who died by suicide five years ago. As a way to honor his life and his passion for gathering friends in heart-felt activities, his loved ones host the Aaron Alcorn-Hole Memorial Tournament every Fall. Your participation directly funds accessible services for those seeking mental health support across California. In addition to helping a good cause, it's going to be a really great chance to enjoy the weekend with games, a bounce house, and prizes! See you this Saturday, at 1pm in Marx Meadow! #cornhole #mentalhealth #everymindmatters #AaronAlcorn

There’s no reason to be afraid of mental health —we can talk about it, accept it, or even acknowledge that it can be a struggle. The stigma around mental health, however, can be very harmful to people who are just trying to get by day-to-day. Some might even say, stigma is actually a bit 😱 scary! 🎃 Most people deal with some form of mental health condition, so it’s pretty normal if you have a brain. 🧟🧠🍴 #mentalhealth #peersupport #october

🌧️ It's okay to not be okay. 🌧️ Depression can feel like a heavy fog that just won’t lift. If you're struggling, know you're not alone.

To honor Aaron Alcorn’s life and celebrate his birthday, Aaron's friends invite you to gather in Golden Gate Park, play some corn hole, have some refreshments, and connect on Saturday (10.26 from 1-5 PM) at Marx Meadow in Golden Gate Park. MHASF looks forward to continuing a tradition this community has proactively kick-started, centering friendship around a heartfelt appreciation of mental health recovery, vulnerability, and, of course, bean bag toss.

On World Mental Health Day, we want to take a moment to reflect on where we are in addressing mental health in our communities. As a peer-run organization, we know change takes place when those affected by issues are centered within the solutions. Mental health care is changing rapidly, and a more integrated, holistic approach is the expectation for the future. Peer workers are at the center of the next evolution of the mental health system, and MHASF aspires to continue to be at the forefront of this change. Call or text 855-600-WARM to speak to a counselor. #WorldMentalHealthDay #mentalhealth #peersupport #peerwarmline

Part of knowing that each person is the expert in their own experience means trusting they know what they do and don’t need. Voluntary services honor the wisdom and expertise of each individual. As peers, we know that help isn’t help if it doesn’t help. MHASF's Peer Run Warm Line is here for you 24/7. Call or Text 855-600-WARM (9276) to speak with a counselor. #peer #warmline #mentalhealth #peersupport
