How Safe Spaces Contribute to Mental Health

  The term "safe space" has been a buzzword in the news over the last few years, with many students, academics, and politicians weighing in on their opinion of the idea. Despite the headlines in recent years, the concept of a safe space is not anything new—in fact, the term has been around since the mid-1960s, originally used within the LGBTQ community.

Four weeks into the new year, I have already abandoned the lofty goals I set for myself. If you're anything like me, you've also made ambitious promises to yourself fueled by a burst of motivation and the allure of a fresh start. Every year, we pledge to hit the gym regularly, eat healthier, learn a new skill, or finally conquer that ever-growing reading list. But as the days turn into weeks and weeks into months, it's not uncommon for those resolutions to fade into the background. So, why do we continue to set New Year's resolutions, and why do they end up as fleeting aspirations rather than concrete changes? Why Do We Make New Year’s Resolutions? For many of us, the start of a new year symbolizes a clean slate and an opportunity to leave behind the shortcomings of the past. This symbolic fresh start is a powerful motivator, fueling the desire for p...
