We are very excited to have Leslie Irwin on board and we cannot wait to see her excel in her role!
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Did you know that 1 in 5 adults are dealing with some mental illness, and suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. The majority of those who die by suicide suffer from a mental health condition. Mental health impacts how we think, feel, and act, and plays a crucial role in our ability to cope with life's challenges. It affects everyone, regardless of age, gender, race, or social status. However, we can all improve our mental health and live fulfilling lives with the right tools and resources. Here are some tips to help improve your mental health: 1. Practice Self-Care: Take care of your physical, emotional, and mental health needs by getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, and engaging in activities you enjoy. 2. Stay Connected: Social connections are essential for mental health. Stay in touch with family and friends, join a support group, or seek professional help if needed. 3. Manage Stress: Stress is inevitable, but it is important to manage it. Try mindfulness meditation, therapy, or yoga to help reduce stress. 4. Seek Help: If you are struggling with your mental health, do not hesitate to reach out for support. This Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s all commit to taking care of our mental health and supporting one another in our journey to better well-being. Remember, it is okay to not be okay, and seeking help is a sign of strength.
