May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Join us to spread awareness about mental health and to help break the stigma.
It is important to check in with your mental health, and that of your loved ones. Daily items you can do to help improve your mental health include eating well to nourish your body, taking part in a physical activity like a walk in your neighborhood or gardening, getting outside, and maintaining healthy sleep habits.
