The "Love, Your Mind" Playbook Helps Boost Mental Fitness

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to building a mental fitness routine; there are plenty of ways to take care of your mind. The key is finding what works for you—and sticking with it.

Atlanta United’s Miguel Almirón says, “Positive affirmations help me stay balanced on and off the field."

The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, in partnership with the Ad Council, has developed the “Love, Your Mind” Playbook to unlock game-changing plays from athletes, experts and partners, designed to help you boost your mental fitness every day.

Journalism Students Promote Media Literacy and Storytelling in Rural and Indigenous Communities

The University of Montana School of Journalism is advancing media literacy and audio storytelling in rural and Indigenous communities through its Montana Media Lab Youth Voices program.

Led by University of Montana journalism students, Youth Voices equips high school students from historically underrepresented communities with the tools to tell their own stories through audio journalism. By integrating news literacy and podcasting projects into rural school curriculum, the program helps young people build critical media skills, navigate today’s complex information landscape and amplify perspectives often absent from traditional media.

Through partnerships with journalists and news organizations, Youth Voices is cultivating a regional audio journalism ecosystem that informs, inspires and elevates authentic community voices.
