$25M boost for NC kids’ mental health

A $25 million grant from Coca-Cola Consolidated is about to transform the way North Carolina cares for kids’ mental health. The NC Children’s hospital in Chapel Hill is expanding into the state’s first stand-alone children’s hospital, with a focus on creating a welcoming space for families and offering everything from prevention to inpatient treatment. This investment means more support for children and families struggling with mental health challenges—right here in our community. How do you think this could change the future for young people in NC? Let’s talk about what matters most for our kids. #Health #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters

ADHD Diagnosis Limbo Is Out of Control

Getting an ADHD diagnosis in the UK is a total maze. If you go private, the NHS might not accept it. If you stick with the NHS, you could be waiting years. The system is so broken that people are being bounced back and forth, with some waiting up to 10 years for help. It’s a mess—patients are stuck, GPs are confused, and families are left hanging. Something’s gotta give! #Health #MentalHealth #ADHD

Did 'Because I Said So' Mess Us Up?

Remember hearing 'Because I said so' growing up? Turns out, that old-school authoritarian parenting style (all rules, no warmth) left a lot of us with anxiety and low self-esteem. Experts say it’s why so many millennials and Gen Xers struggle with perfectionism and decision-making. The good news? We’re breaking the cycle with more open, gentle parenting—and yes, therapy helps! If you ever wondered why you hate making mistakes, this might be your answer. #Relationships #Parenting #MentalHealth

C-Section & Mental Health: It’s in the Genes?

Turns out, the link between being born via planned c-section and developing mental health issues like schizophrenia or depression might not be about the surgery at all—it could be genetics! A new study found that people born by planned c-section had higher genetic risk for these conditions, suggesting it’s more about what’s in your DNA than how you were delivered. So, maybe let’s stop blaming the birth method and look at the bigger genetic picture! #Health #MentalHealth #Genetics

ADHD Waiting Lists Are a Hot Mess

ADHD waiting lists in England are totally jammed, and here’s why: tons of people are bouncing back to the NHS after private clinics can’t keep up with their care. Some private assessments don’t even meet official guidelines, and GPs are dropping shared care agreements, leaving patients in limbo (and sometimes with huge prescription bills). The NHS is overwhelmed, and the whole system is feeling the strain. It’s a mess for anyone needing ADHD help right now! #Health #MentalHealth #ADHD

Bay Area chess star’s tragic final move

The chess world lost a true innovator when Daniel Naroditsky, the beloved Bay Area grandmaster, died at just 29. His accidental overdose, revealed by a North Carolina medical examiner, has left many stunned—especially those who followed his journey from Foster City prodigy to global online mentor. Naroditsky’s passion for teaching and his relatable style drew thousands to chess during the pandemic, but behind the scenes, he faced intense online harassment and unfounded cheating accusations. His story is a stark reminder of the pressures creators face. How can we better support mental health in our digital communities? #Sports #ChessCommunity #MentalHealth

How Laurel Hill Center changes lives in Eugene

Meeting someone from Laurel Hill Center made me realize just how much this place means to our Eugene community. For over 50 years, they’ve been quietly helping people facing serious mental health challenges build skills, find housing, and get back on their feet. What’s really special is their focus on letting people set their own goals and move at their own pace, all while connecting them with the support they need—whether it’s mental health care, job training, or crisis help. It’s a reminder of how much impact a dedicated local organization can have. Have you or someone you know been touched by their work? #Safety #Eugene #MentalHealth
