Mentally Chill
Welcome to your safe space to be messy, weird, dark, nervous, and excited! The purpose of "Mentally Chill" is to promote mental health awareness and normalize the highs and lows of life. We're spreading awareness one story at a time from real people with real struggles. Additionally, this is a place to get the inside scoop on mental health resources (therapy, medication, etc.), and find out what it's really like to ask for help. Also, we laugh a lot. Because life is hard, but it's also quite funny. Thank you for choosing to be here, you are where you need to be.

Emily Shlapak
Man oh man! Buckle up for some real talk with my current therapist. He discusses life in the inner city and how difficult it was to re-write the narratives given to him from childhood. For the first time publicly, Sharif opens up about having a psychotic break and how that led him to become a licensed therapist. We're kicking off Black History Month with a bang, can't wait for you guys to meet one of my favorite people!
