While 1 in 5 people will experience a mental illness during their lifetime, everyone faces challenges in life that can impact their mental health.
The good news is there are practical tools that everyone can use to improve their mental health and increase resiliency - and there are ways that everyone can be supportive of friends, family, and co-workers who are struggling with life’s challenges or their mental health.
This May is Mental Health Month and we will be highlighting #Tools2Thrive - exploring topics that can help you build your own set of #Tools2Thrive - recognizing and owning your feelings; creating healthy routines; and supporting others - all as ways to boost the mental health and general wellness of you and your loved ones.
Self-Care Tip:
One of the easiest tools anyone can use is taking a mental health screen at mhascreening.org when they need answers.
It’s a quick, free, and private way for people to assess their mental health and recognize signs of mental health concerns.
Kindness Challenge:
Write a letter by hand to someone who’s made a difference in your life. Showing gratitude is good for your wellness, as well as the wellness of those you interact with.
