It’s summer—a season that can quickly fill up with distractions, busy schedules, and screen time before we realize how fast it has gone. This June, the be here campaign encourages us to disconnect from our devices and reconnect with what matters most: people, experiences, and meaningful moments. Whether it’s spending time with family and friends, volunteering, or simply being present with others, social connection is vital to our mental health and well-being. Staying connected helps us feel valued, supported, and like we belong. This summer, be intentional about making connection a priority—because being present is one of the best ways to care for our mental health
