Mental Health Resources
Taking care of your mental health has, in recent years, been more widely accepted throughout society. Just like our bodies, our minds need to be worked on daily in order to improve overall wellness. The pandemic has shaken the state of mental health for many around the world, making this harder to achieve for many. In the U.S, depression symptoms have nearly tripled in number since the start of the pandemic. NOW is always the right time to be checking on our strong friends, talking to our youth about mental health, and prioritizing our minds.
