The Most Overlooked Pillars of Good Mental Health

From Oprah Daily | April 24, 2025

Ever feel like the simplest forms of self-care aren't helping you feel your very best all the time? Take some time to tap into your creativity, lean on your connections, and enjoy the moments that truly make you feel alive. GGSC Science Director Emiliana Simon-Thomas shares some invaluable advice on how to do so in a feature from The Oprah Daily.

“We scientists need partnerships with organizations like the GGSC because we’re not experts in reaching loads of people on a regular basis. Providing sustained delivery of content that’s thoughtful, not over-the-top, appropriately measured, and empirically grounded—that’s what the GGSC does better than anybody.”
