Friendly Reminder about using ChatGPT or social media for Taking care of your mental health....
ChatGPT can offer grounding techniques, sure, but it can't pick up the phone when you're in real trouble with your mental health. I know some people use ChatGPT as a substitute therapist.

CNET's Corin Cesaric found it mildly helpful for working through grief, as long as she kept its limits front of mind.

But as someone who has a very real, very human therapist, I can tell you that ChatGPT is still really only a pale imitation at best, and incredibly risky at worst.
ChatpGPT doesn't have lived experience, can't read your body language or tone, and has zero capacity for genuine empathy. It can only simulate it.

A licensed therapist operates under legal mandates and professional codes that protect you from harm. ChatGPT doesn't.

Its advice can misfire, overlook red flags or unintentionally reinforce biases baked into its training data.

Leave the deeper work — the hard, messy, human work — to an actual human who is trained to properly handle it.

If you or someone you love is in crisis, please dial 988 in the US, or your local hotline.

May is Mental Health Month!
This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re asking the question: What would it look like to lead with wellbeing first?

Here are three intentional actions you can take this week:

Schedule 15 minutes a day for mental reset. Whether it’s a quiet coffee, a midday walk, or eating lunch without sitting in front of a screen, give yourself intentional pauses to recalibrate.
Establish a “digital sunset.” Commit to unplugging 30–60 minutes before bed. Let your mind decompress to improve sleep and lower stress.
Set one boundary and stick to it. Say no to a meeting that could be an email. Delay responding after hours. Creating work/life balance can start with one small action.
Healthy teams start with healthy leaders.

Don't forget that how you handle stress is setting an example for your team.
