Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health is an important part of our overall wellness. This month is a chance to help raise awareness and eliminate the stigma associated with mental health and treatment. Focusing on self-care can help improve your mental health. This can include getting regular exercise, getting enough sleep, and eating health meals. Learn more about caring for your mental health here.
