Ashley Tisdale Shares Her 'Mental Health Hack'

"High School Musical" actress Ashley Tisdale is a huge advocate for mental health, and she is now sharing one of her favorite "hacks."

In a new Instagram post, Tisdale was seen playing with and hugging goats, claiming that is one of the best "mental health hacks."

"Mental health hack: hug the nearest baby goat," she wrote alongside a handful of photos and videos, one of which shows her laughing as she holds a baby goat near her chest.

It seems that hugging baby goats instantly boosts your mood and helps you to smile, as goat therapy is actually proven to help mental health.

"Goat Therapy is a form of animal-assisted therapy that comes in many forms such as mindfulness with goats, goat yoga, painting with goats, Tai Chi with goats, petting and brushing goats, and cuddling goats," per reports.

Specifically, cuddling goats is proven to help individuals "with deep serenity, leaving one feeling more relaxed, focused, and grounded. Cuddling goats is good medicine for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual development."

Last year on World Mental Health Day, the former Disney star posted to Instagram about her mental health and how Being Frenshe has helped her.

“Today is #worldmentalhealthday. It’s so important we destigmatize our struggles with our mental health help to feel supported and learn how to prioritize our well-being every single day,” Tisdale wrote in the Instagram caption at the time. “@Frenshe and @beingfrenshe were created to do just that, and this community we’ve grown together has helped me so much in my mental health journey, and I hope it has for you too. We’ll continue to share stories and tips for anyone who needs them without shame or overwhelm.”

Tisdale partnered with Frenshe to help the community open up, better themselves, and grow together. “This month on Frenshe, we are continuing our conversation around mental health. Look for stories that will help you if you are feeling blue, plus tips on what to say to a friend who is struggling with it.”

The popular Disney Channel Original Movie, “High School Musical”, was an instant success when it debuted in 2006. The film starred Zac Efron (Troy Bolton), Vanessa Hudgens (Gabriella Montez), Corbin Bleu (Chad Danforth), Monique Coleman (Taylor McKessie), Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay Evans), and Lucas Grabiel (Ryan Evans), and even went on to produce two sequels — “High School Musical 2” (2007) and “High School Musical 3” (2008).

Although the cast of “High School Musical” has not been together since the third film, “High School Musical 3,” which debuted in 2008, actress Ashley Tisdale admits they are all still in touch.

“Obviously we are all in different places of life, but the thing about what’s so great about every single one of them is that you can text them and be like ‘Hey, I haven’t talked to you in so long’,” Tisdale said on a recent podcast. “Lucas [Grabiel] was just texting me like a couple of weeks ago, and we were just chatting, and it’s like time hasn’t passed.”
