With a new school year in full swing, it can be easy for kids and young adults to get swept up in their studies, activities, and more. But the stress of school makes it even more important to keep your mental health front and center. We’re excited to partner once more with mental health advocate Richard L. Taylor Jr. to remind students and the people who work with them that it’s OK not to be OK. Whatever the school year brings, you are not alone and there are resources available to support you and habits that you can build to feel more resilient.

Open enrollment is a great time to evaluate your healthcare needs to ensure the plan you’re on is a good fit! Whether you’re choosing a new health plan or staying with your current one, here are some questions that will help you pick the right health plan option for your needs: - Have you added to your family? - Have you had a dependent age out or get their own coverage? - If you are covered by multiple plans, which one is your primary coverage? - Have your healthcare needs changed? - Does your plan provide access to all the healthcare services you need? To learn more about how health plans work and what to look for, you can visit our website today: https://bit.ly/408x6n5

Your family history isn’t all you need to know about your breast cancer risk. Fewer than 20% of breast cancer diagnoses occur in people with a family history of the condition. Mammograms are an important tool for catching breast cancers early, when they can be most treatable. Talk to your healthcare provider about when a mammogram may be right for you. #BreastCancerAwareness #PreventiveCare
