May is Mental Health Awareness Month<\/a>. If you’re struggling, know that you are not alone. I wanted to highlight some destinations that offer support\u00a0within\u00a0the Second Life community and a place to find your inner peace because everyone deserves the opportunity to reflect on their mental health in a safe and meaningful way.<\/p>\n

Impact Mental Health<\/a><\/h1>\n

Mental health issues are common and are not something that anyone should feel ashamed of. Impact offers incredible peer support by people who’ve already been through, or are going through, the same things as you. Whether you just want to listen in, get something off your chest, speak to a mentor, attend a group meeting or just play games with people who are ok with every part of you, Impact is a great place for you. If you need support, please join their group ‘Impact Mental Health’ or click on the boards located in the foyer of the main building and an available Mentor will contact you.<\/p>\nVisit in Second Life<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
