#FREEYOURFEELS tips for October: 

1. You aren’t alone in your feelings. Sharing your story might help someone else.
2. Be prepared in the event things get too hard. A free resource is the MyGCAL app. 
3. When was the last time you reached out “just because”? Text a friend a compliment today. 
4. Don’t be afraid to share your feelings. How can we break through the stigma of sharing our feelings and emotions to professionals?
