Hi,
how are you?

The answer may look different from one day, week, or season of life to the next. Like physical health, mental health plays an important part of our lives, and each person’s experience is unique. Because mental health exists on a spectrum, it's normal for how you’re feeling to shift over time. Use the OK-ness Spectrum below to reflect on where you are today and explore resources and support that meet you where you're at.

OK-ness

Introducing The OK-ness Spectrum. It’s an easy way to check in with yourself and see how you’re doing. This is meant to be a tool that will help connect you to helpful resources tailored to what you need right now.

We want to make it really clear—it’s ok to not be ok. The key is to be honest with yourself and get the support that can make a difference.

There’s no need for putting on a brave face, or saying everything is fine. We all need to take care of ourselves, however that needs to happen.

We’re glad you’re here, and we hope this helps.
