Bring hope with a Be Well Bell
In the 1950s, Mental Health America unveiled the “Bell of Hope”. Made with the discarded chains and shackles from asylums, once used as restraints during treatment, they transformed the relics of a cruel past into a powerful symbol of progress.
You can help carry this story forward and ring in a new era of mental healthcare in our communities. By installing a custom designed Be Well Bell, you can help break down stigma, inspire hope, and open conversations about support and resources.

SEE ALLBe Well Moment: A Listening Practice for Focus
When our minds wander and focus feels hard to find, listening to nature can help bring our attention back to what matters. In this Be Well Moment, Bailey introduces a short nature listening practice designed to gently reset our attention when we are overstimulated. Inspired by Episode 17’s conversation about nature and focus, this practice uses sound as a simple way to pause, notice the world around us, and give our overworked focus centers a chance to rest.
Hosts: Bailey Pyle, Nia Howard, Shelby Schneider
ListenHow Nature Helps Us Refocus
When our brain is overstimulated it's difficult to focus, even on the most important things we need to do. In this episode, the Be Well Besties explore attention fatigue, Attention Restoration Theory, and why natural environments can gently engage our brains in a way that supports clarity, focus, and emotional well-being. And for the Besties who are more “outsidesy” than outdoorsy, this episode includes simple ways to connect with nature, even when a hike, trail, or perfect weather is not available.
Hosts: Bailey Pyle, Nia Howard, Shelby Schneider
ListenBe Well Moment: A Free Practice for Self-Care
One of the most effective self-care tools is free, accessible, and already with you: your breath. In this Be Well Moment, the Besties practice cyclical sighing, a simple breathing technique that can be used during moments of stress, overwhelm, or fatigue. This short guided practice invites us to slow down, notice our breath, and return to it as many times as we need. For more on meaningful self-care without a price tag, start with Episode 15.
