I have not been feeling my best, just enough battery life to get me through work, online orders, and family time. Social media is going to have to take a backseat for a little bit. I will continue to be online less this month to make sure I can make this all happen for you guys!! Have a good MHAM...and advocates, please take some time for your own health.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💜

Youth with migraine face higher rates of anxiety, depression, social isolation, and even suicidal ideation. Yet many are only told how to treat the pain, not how to cope with everything that comes with it.

That’s why together with Danielle Byron Henry Migraine Foundation we are offering a FREE CBT webinar for youth.

Pediatric psychologist Sarah Love, PsyD will share simple tools kids and teens can use:
✔️ at school
✔️ at home
✔️ during stressful moments

To feel calmer, more confident, and more in control 💜

If you’re in the area, helpers are needed on June 13th in DC 🇺🇸

Help us bring Flags for Headache back to Washington, DC.

On June 13, volunteers will gather near the Washington Monument to install thousands of purple flags representing the millions of Americans living with migraine, cluster headache and other headache disorders.

This is a powerful, hands-on way to be part of Migraine and Headache Awareness Month and help make headache disease impossible to ignore.

Whether you live with a headache disorder, love someone who does, work in this field, or simply want to show up for this community, we would be grateful to have you with us.
