Mental Health Awareness

Mental health is just as important as your physical health. Just as you would treat a physical problem, such as a broken leg or high blood pressure, your mental health deserves the same level of care. Use the following tips to help care for your mental health:

•	Find a hobby ‒ This can give you something to look forward to after a rough day.
•	Get regular exercise ‒ This can boost your endorphins, your brain's feel good neurotransmitters.
•	Eat healthy meals ‒ Give your body the nutrients it needs to work at its best level.
•	Get some fresh air ‒ Nature and sunshine are great for the body and mind.
•	Sleep ‒ Being tired can make everything seem worse. Reduce exposure to electronics before bed. Do a relaxing activity, such as reading a fantasy book, to help calm your mind.
•	Practice gratitude ‒ Even when so much in your life seems to be going wrong, it's important to realize what you have to be thankful for!
•	Talk to someone ‒ A therapist can help you find new coping strategies and give tips and education to make you feel better.

Wishing You the Best Health and Wellness!

Sleep is crucial for our health and well-being. During sleep our body repairs and restores itself. Lack of sleep can lead to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and impair cognitive function (thinking processes). Adults should aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night, while children and teenagers may require more.
