Happy New Year, everyone! We made it a whole year, and I am so proud of each and every one of you. As we move forward into this new year, I want to take some time to reflect on the last one. 2021 was a very hard year—for a lot of people, not just me—but I’m looking at 2022 with …
On Thursday, April 29th, 1N5 met with 10 TruePoint clients to cover the basics of mental health and wellness. The training consisted of an open conversation about how the participants’ mental health has been impacted during COVID, areas of concern for friends and family members, and a wide variety of other topics related to mental health. 1N5 would like to …
This week for #WarriorWednesday, Caroline McKeown of the #DearCaroline vlog celebrated ONE YEAR of sharing her story and talking about mental health by talking about what she’s learned about mental health in the past year.

Sometimes, we have bad days. Sometimes, we find ourselves in situations we’d rather not be experiencing. Sometimes, we’re just plain unlucky. Even when we have those tough days and experience those things we’d rather not experience, though, we can still make the most of it. Living in a global pandemic, the chances of having a bad day are pretty high. …
This week for #WarriorWednesday, we’re sharing a post from Kevin Hyland about his mental health journey through the pandemic. This is not easy for me so please bear with me, but I feel like I need to open up. The last 3 months I’ve been staying out at my farm house in Indiana. It has given me time to get …

With all that has happened in the past year, though, that mentality is starting to change. I’ve noticed the change in my own life, especially over the past few weeks as my work has …
It’s a new year. Again. 2020 is in the past, hopefully taking its negative energy with it. As we enter into a new year, tradition tells us we have to make a list of resolutions. This year, though, instead of coming up with a list of ways to change myself, I’d rather focus on ways to grow and learn from …
We live in a society that views exhaustion and overextended schedules as badges of honor. Even after the world slowed down due to COVID, many went right back to the daily grind of working long hours and filling our days with resumé-enhancing tasks, some more eagerly than others. We’ve fallen right back into subscribing to the idea that truly taking …
This holiday season, we know that we are not able to celebrate the way that we normally do. Due to the global pandemic, many are unable to spend time with family, attend gatherings, or practice the traditions they’ve grown accustomed to, and we know that loss of experience can take a toll on mental health.

In times of great distress, it’s easy to forget to make space for gratitude. This year, in particular, we have all had our fair share of trauma and anxiety, and it’s understandable to lose sight of the things for which we should be grateful. I know I’m guilty of forgetting to practice gratitude and taking time to be thankful. When …
