Welcome...
Welcome to the Leadership21 blog, an ongoing conversation on mental health, civil rights and social justice. Posting on the blog are twelve young mental health advocates who comprise the L21 commitee, and anything goes--the personal, the political, the cultural, whatever! We hope that you'll check out what's here, and make some comments, and please know that if you're concerned about anonymity, you can comment anonymously. We hope that what you read, and what you contribute, will make you want to return regularly, because to our knowledge, there really isn't anything out there that has the potential to engage people on so many levels about mental health. But we need "outsiders" like you to make it grow into a robust, contagious online blog. So thanks for coming, welcome to the conversation, and please, pass it on--L21
Nature is Nature's Prozac
I've just returned from a weekend in Vermont with the man, and it really did wonders for my mental health---I know I'm stating the obvious here but the way we live so bombarded by advertising and media brings about a kind of low level hypervigilence that just is so freaking unhealthy. And the fargin internet just makes me totally scattered. I'm pledging to keep my life more simple, to bring a little VT to NYC, but who knows if I'll be able to pull it off. I think that the ability to relax is paramount to mental health---and as a culture we're just creating more and more toxins that corrupt relaxation---it just seems like everything corporate culture produces is at odds with simplicty and balance and moderation.
