Mental Health Awareness Month
Recognizing May as Mental Health Awareness Month serves as an important reminder of the significance of mental health in our lives. This month encourages open dialogue about mental health issues, helping to dispel stigma and promote understanding and gives us time to reflect on our own mental well-being. By spotlighting mental health, we aim to empower everyone to seek help when needed, emphasize the importance of self-care, and acknowledge that mental health is an essential component of a healthy, fulfilling life.
Tips to Improve Your Overall Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing enables people to cope with the life's everyday stressors, realize their abilities, learn and work well, and contribute to their community.

To help with day to day stress and challenges, here are some tips to help improve your mental wellbeing. Remember to always give yourself time to figure out what works best for you!
Give yourself some tech-free time
Try doing something creative
Try to spend sometime outdoors
Connect with others
Look after yourself
