PTP is an interactive, validating safe space in which those struggling with mental health disorders can build community with peers, share and bring light to their own experiences, and partake in an endless chain of coping mechanism, remedies, and self-care tips/advice to ease the stress of the situations they experience. Pausing the Panic will implement and provide resources, workshops, weekly talks, anonymous Q&A’s, livestreams, forums and blog posts, and more to ensure sure that our members will never have to battle their anxieties alone. All meetings, workshops, and talks will be accessible via social media and our upcoming website, free of charge, to anyone who wishes to be a part of our system. Though we’re starting small, we are so excited to reach out to those in need and offer a helping hand. At the end of the day, all we have is each other. Together, we’ll fight the ongoing stigma surrounding mental health disorders and motivate others to feel comfortable in their own skin, regardless of the battles they’re facing. One day at a time, we will pause the panic.
