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 - Moving your body boosts endorphins, the "feel-good" chemicals in your brain.
•	Eat healthy meals - Give your body the nutrients it needs.
•	Get some fresh air - Spending time outside in nature and sunshine is good for your body and mind.
•	Sleep Well - Being tired makes everything harder. Avoid using screens (TV, phones, computers) at bedtime and try reading a relaxing book instead.
•	Practice gratitude - Even when things feel tough, remembering what you're thankful for can make a big difference.
•	Talk to someone - A therapist can help you find new coping strategies and give tips and education to make you feel better.

Taking small steps to care for your mental health can help you feel stronger and happier every day!

Sleep is very important for your health. While you snooze, your body fixes and recharges itself. Not getting enough sleep can lead to weight gain, diabetes, heart problems, and trouble thinking clearly. Adults should try to get 7-9 hours of sleep each night, and kids and teens may need even more! Make sleep a priority to keep your body and mind in top shape.
