Preparedness goes beyond having a kit and making a plan. It also means taking care of your mental health! 💜

Just as we prepare for unexpected emergencies, it’s important to recognize when we may need extra support and know where to turn when we do.

Whether you’re navigating everyday stress or going through a difficult time, knowing what resources are available is one way to be proactive about your mental well-being.

Remember, taking care of your mental health is part of being Hokie Ready! 🫶
