A Dose Of Inspo

Mental health wellness is important at all stages of life — especially when you’re in college and figuring out your path. That’s what inspired Mae Haggerty and three classmates from Marquette University to launch ConfIdence — a service that delivers self-care boxes to college students across the U.S. The stress put on students is significantly increasing, and ConfIdence delivers the tools college students need to consistently implement self-development and stress management into their lives. As Haggerty dealt with her own mental health issues, she realized that the best way to handle the situation is to be open with yourself and others. Wise words, indeed. [GMA]
