In our first Care to Self-Care? pilot youth mental health project at Henderson High School in 2024, the CCDA team created an inspiring 20-page comic on self-care and burnout. Carel, Celeste, Danielle, and Andy (CCDA) carefully scripted and hand-drew each page, bringing their story to life with creativity and authenticity. Mental health professionals praised their work for its depth and originality, recognizing the thoughtful message behind it.
Reconnect later adapted the comic, adding youth-specific resources to help explore well-being and self-care further. We hope this serves as a reminder to set boundaries, prioritize your mental health, and take care of yourself—because you are important.
