The Self Care Promise

Creating Accessible Resources for Everyone

THE MISSION

The Self Care Promise is an idea I'd been promoting for years turned into a purposeful movement. It educates about the mental health aspects of practicing self-care, and helps make self-care accessible to everyone through donations.

WHY SELF CARE?

I've been involved with the Miss America Opportunity for the past six years. When anyone asks me why I keep participating, my answer is the same.

 

I love how much time and effort I put into taking care of myself when I compete. In fact, I've found it to have extremely positive effects on my mental and physical wellbeing.

 

I want to share that self-care can look a variety of ways, but is essential for everyone.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Practice self-care! It sounds simple, but it can be easy to overlook ourselves when life gets hectic. Take the time to go for a walk, call a friend, or doing something that makes you smile. Self-care can look different to everyone. Even taking the time to have a shower or brushing your teeth are acts of self-care. To take it one step further, you could pick an item off this donation list to be given to folks who may not be able to afford them right now but deserve the same right to self-care.
