Are you the parent of a child 8-17 years old with anxiety? Your child may be eligible for a research study at Baylor College of Medicine. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are studying how children and parents talk about emotions on a day-to-day basis and how this helps children cope with emotions such as anxiety. If you're interested, contact a member of the study team at REALStudy@bcm.edu or fill out the interest form at https://redcap.link/bcmrealstudy!

Where does advocacy start?
Not in policy spaces.
Not in meetings.
Not in fancy titles.
It starts when someone realizes their story is not just another story.
It is knowledge.
It is power.
Advocacy is not about being perfect.
It is about being willing.
If you have ever wondered whether your story matters, I hope you know this:
It already does.
And learning how to use it is what changes everything.

Join us on Tuesday 2/24 for a powerful training on how sharing your story can create meaningful impact.

This Black History Month, we honor the legacy of care, resilience, and community that has long supported mental well-being, often in the absence of accessible or equitable systems.
For generations, Black communities have created spaces of support through mutual aid, faith, family, and collective action. These acts of care were not only about survival, but about dignity, belonging, and healing.
Mental health has always lived in connection, compassion, and collective care, and that legacy continues to guide how we think about community well-being today.
