TAKE Two Explained
Lindsay & Stacy know bettering your mental health can feel overwhelming! This is why they created a framework for a two minute check-in you can implement daily. You can simply use it as a literal skill of taking two minutes to do something for your mental health or in moments emotions are high to take two minutes to pause. They also created a more specific framework of TAKE Two if you are someone who likes structure and is looking to gain awareness & grow your mental strength. Tune in every week to hear Lindsay & Stacy talk about a different mental health topic and give you a weekly TAKE Two challenge!
