Caring for our health - mind, body, and spirit - is an act of self love and something many of us ignore until we have something to fix.
As we start the new year, if you have access to a health plan, it’s a great time to review your healthcare elections and benefits. Double-check that your health insurance plan meets your needs and covers services important to you, such as mental health, gender-affirming care, or access to LGBTQ+-friendly providers. Many insurance plans allow you to update information or make changes at the start of the year, so take a moment to log in to your provider’s website or contact their support line if you have questions about coverage. Staying proactive ensures you’re prepared and supported for whatever the year brings.
Mental health is just as important as physical health. Experiences of stigma or isolation can take a toll (especially after holiday stress), but reaching out, whether to a trusted friend, a support group, or a professional, can make all the difference.
Prioritizing our health is essential. By celebrating our bodies, listening to our needs, and supporting one another, we build a stronger, more resilient community. If you’re looking for support, information, or just a place to start, the resources below are available in addition to your healthcare provider resources.
