Mental health advocate and warrior: Simone Biles is an Olympic gold medalist and one of the most decorated gymnasts in history, with seven Olympic medals, including four golds, and 25 World Championship medals. Her groundbreaking achievements have redefined excellence in gymnastics. Beyond her athletic success, Simone is a passionate advocate for mental health, using her platform to discuss her struggles and promote self-care.

Reposted from Chances are, you've already witnessed something as a bystander. Maybe, as a kid on a playground, you saw another kid being bullied. Perhaps as a teenager at a party, you saw someone being sexually harassed. Or, as an adult on a bus, you saw someone being attacked.⁠
⁠
If you find yourself in a situation where you sense someone needs help and you'd like to intervene, Gabriela Mejia, a former training and communications associate with the anti-harassment training organization Right to Be, has some advice. "Show up with a way to deescalate a situation to not make it more dangerous for the person being harassed," she says.⁠
⁠
She shares the "5Ds" of bystander intervention, developed by Right to Be and the bystander program Green Dot.⁠
