May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 🧠💭 At the Y, we strive to strengthen community in spirit, mind & body. A vital component to building strong communities, families & individuals is to support mental health & wellness.
Take time this month to consider what you need to support your mental health. Small actions like incorporating regular self-care, physical activity, technology-free time, & connecting with loved ones can go a long way in supporting overall well-being.
