BLOG Celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month
Did you know that May is Mental Health Awareness Month?
It’s a time to shine a light on mental health issues, raise awareness, and promote understanding. Mental Health Awareness Month began in the United States in 1949, initiated by Mental Health America (MHA) to educate the public about mental illnesses and reduce stigma surrounding mental health.
Throughout May, various organizations, advocates, and communities come together to spread awareness and provide resources for mental health support. This month serves as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing mental well-being and seeking help when needed. At Arion Care, we recognize the significance of Mental Health Awareness Month and strive to support individuals in their journey toward mental wellness.
Mental Health Awareness Month reminds us to prioritize self-care and mental well-being. Here are some practical tips you can incorporate into your daily routine:
- Take breaks from screens and technology throughout the day to give your mind a rest and reduce eye strain.
- Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day, such as walking, jogging, or yoga, to boost your mood and reduce anxiety.
- Ensure you get enough sleep at night; most Americans need 7-9 hours for optimal health and functioning.
