The beginning of a new cycle suggests, above all, a new start… with new goals, new projects and new aspirations.
For this reason, the first month of the year is the theme of the campaign that emphasizes care for mental health, titled White January (Janeiro Branco).
Created by the psychologist from Minas Gerais, Leonardo Abrahão, in 2014, White January has since been consolidating itself as a way to promote the culture of mental health within society, suggesting that, just like a blank canvas, January is an invitation for us to establish positive and optimistic habits focused on emotional care.

The cause is embraced by public, corporate and municipal campaigns, which take advantage of the period to propose strategies and discussions aimed at calling attention to care for emotional health.

We at CodeBit embrace this cause and believe that technology, when used correctly, can be a major driving force for mental well-being.

Although digital solutions do not replace professional help, they can be used as complementary tools for support, self-care and prevention, facilitating the implementation of a routine of positive habits.

With this in mind, in today's article, we from the CodeBlog team have listed five platforms that operate in Brazil and not only address, but actively help in promoting mental health through innovative and accessible solutions. Come join us in checking them out!

We hope this article can help you, dear reader, to understand how technology simplifies and democratizes the search for mental health, providing aid and support without any kind of restriction, whether in schedule, location or economic status.

We at CodeBit view the month of January as an excellent period to reflect on how we feel and what we have been doing for ourselves and our health.

It is always time to change, evolve and adjust troubling issues.

How about taking advantage of this period to get to know yourself, look closely at your psychological state, identify which factors negatively affect your emotional state and what measures can be taken?

And, if you need to, do not hesitate to ask for help. Remember: you matter, your life matters!
