Hi, my name is Leah Brown. I’m a health promotion and education intern here at 1N5. I am a 4th year at the University of Cincinnati, and I’ll be graduating at the end of April. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety since I was very young, so I’ve really learned the importance of self-care. Finishing up college has been stressful …
Hello! My name is Meg, and I’m a senior at the University of Cincinnati. I am planning on receiving my degree in psychology with certificates in Deaf studies and pre-art therapy. I hope to continue my studies with graduate school in a few years. Senior year has not been an easy one, and with the added stress of everything happening …
At 1N5 we talk about self-care every day. How do we educate our audiences on how to take better care of themselves? It is a topic that is always on my mind. I try to make it a priority for myself to include some form of self-care every day. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don’t do so well. So, …
Christine Browner is the mom of 5 kiddos, wife to an amazing man, rare disease and mental health advocate, nurse, and Program Manager at 1N5. I kind of feel the same way about the word self-care as I’ve felt about the word pivot since the start of the pandemic. Way overused! I get the importance and significance of each yet …
Hi! My name is Erin Horn and I’m excited to be the guest self-care blogger today. I’ve been with 1N5 since summer of 2018 and I primarily work on our youth programs and prevention and wellness trainings. As I have grown along with 1N5, my knowledge around wellness has also expanded and grown. I am forever grateful that the work …

As today’s 1N5 guest blogger, I’d like to share my self-care thoughts. Doofenschmirtz (AKA Doof) is my rescue pup but I’m not sure who …
I have to admit that I have a hard time slowing down and taking as good care of myself as I do of my family…even my dog! Productivity defined my worth for longer than I care to admit, so for me it’s a process, not a light switch, to slow down and ease into self-care. I aspire to one day …
We have to learn how to recognize our own emotional capacities. Sometimes, we have the capacity to take on more than other times. Right now, I recognize my emotional capacity is very low. I’m having a hard time keeping up with the most basic of daily tasks, and I definitely don’t have the emotional capacity to be there for others …
The past two weeks have felt unreal like I’m living in a nightmare and just can’t seem to wake up. Almost two weeks ago, my entire life changed in a matter of hours. Two Wednesdays ago, my grandparents’ house—which has been in our family for nearly 70 years—caught fire. I was bartending when I got the call. I thought it …
There will be times in our lives where we feel defeated. It might feel like we’re catching one bad break after another, and the negatives just won’t stop coming. In these moments, it might feel nearly impossible to keep holding onto hope and keep a positive attitude. At these times, though, staying positive is the most important thing you can …
