January is Mental Wellness Month

Mental Wellness Month affirms that being mentally healthy is a vital part of our overall well-being. Just as it’s important to monitor markers of our physical health such as blood pressure or cholesterol levels, we need awareness of our emotional well-being. This can include our moods, our ability to function socially, our energy levels and our ability to respond to challenges.

• Be aware. Seek help if you experience ongoing feelings of sadness or hopelessness; loss of energy; insomnia, early awakening or oversleeping; or restlessness and irritability.
• Get support. Seek support from those you trust, or from a Mental Health Professional.
• Care for yourself. Avoid alcohol and drugs. Refresh by walking or practicing self-care. Express your feelings through writing, painting or drawing.
