Mental Health Awareness Month
Free Meditation Resources
In the last few years, we’ve faced isolation, turmoil and unrest. Caring for our mental health is more important than ever. Meditation is a useful complement to most therapeutic experiences. It’s a simple, secular, scientifically validated exercise that promotes emotional health and well-being. For Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to offer some resources on this page to help you feel a little better.

The resources offered by Ten Percent Happier are not a replacement for therapy or medical care. As a rule of thumb, if your mental illness is severely inhibiting your daily life you should seek professional help.
To seek additional support we suggest these:
- ADAA Therapist Directory: an online resource that individuals can use to find a therapist.
- NAMI Resource Directory: an online resource that can offers a summary of supports, services and treatment options that may help.
