Monthly Mental Health Tip

June is the month that kicks off what we call the "lazy days of summer." This is the time where we tend to slow down with work and our schedules, and children generally have a break from school for summer vacation. June is the month that seems to start longer days with more sunlight. This month we also observe awareness for safety and PTSD, which reminds us to focus on how we are taking care of ourselves.​

​

Mental Health Tip: ​

• Set aside time to slow down and enjoy each day and the beautiful summer weather. 

• Develop a safety plan for yourself and your family.

• If needed, educate yourself on the signs and symptoms of mental illness, specifically PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder)

• Check in on your family and friends as everyone is struggling with something and may need some extra support.

• As needed, seek help from a licensed mental health professional.
