On #WorldMentalHealthDay, a reminder that living with lupus can affect more than your physical health. 💜
For young people especially, navigating a chronic condition can feel isolating and having the right support can make a real difference.
We spoke with Dr. Claudia Fernandes mental health, peer support, and how to start conversations when someone may be struggling. Her advice: you don’t need to have the perfect words - you just need to be willing to take the first step.

Celebrating 10 years of #ChannelKindness with alum Amy Sun Yan! 💚
From building kindness into how she leads to extending that same care to herself, Amy reflects on the lessons she’s carried with her and how they continue to shape who she is today. #ChannelKindness10
