Black Girls Smile launches a mental wellness toolkit for young women

From Black Girls Smile· Instagram · Oct 10

“It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay, and we’re always looking for ways to make mental health literacy more engaging and mental health resources easier to find, understand, and access. For Black girls and young women, having the language to name what you’re feeling, the tools to navigate difficult moments, and the knowledge to find support can make all the difference. Mental wellness isn’t just about recognizing when something is wrong. It’s also about knowing how to care for yourself, advocate for your needs, and access support before you reach a breaking point. That’s why we created the Black Girls Smile Mental Wellness Toolkit—a collection of resources, worksheets, journaling prompts, and recommendations designed to help Black girls and young women build mental health knowledge and feel more equipped to navigate their wellness journeys. Because every Black girl deserves to understand her feelings, feel empowered to care for her mental health, and know that she doesn’t have to figure it all out alone. The Mental Wellness Toolkit is officially LIVE on our website! Explore the toolkit through the link in our bio, and share it with a Black girl or young woman who deserves access to these resources, too. 💜”
