January 2022 Events - Mental Wellness Month
Hi everyone! This month’s event is a really special one and we’re so happy to be celebrating it with you all.
It's Mental Wellness Month! Depression support will be hosting this event through January 17-21 and we’d absolutely love to have you all participate!
First, let’s talk a bit about mental wellness!
-
What is mental wellness?
Mental wellness involves strengthening our emotional, psychological and social well-being, affecting how we think, feel and act
It comes from feeling balanced, connected to others, and ready to face challenges that come our way
Mental wellness doesn’t just mean being happy - it means being able to manage things that come to us in our daily lives in both good and bad times
-
How can we improve our mental wellness?
Connect with other people and interact with others
Be active
Try to learn new things (new skills or hobbies!)
Have gratitude
Try to give to others and do acts of kindness
Set small goals
Mindfulness - focus on the present instead of focusing on the past or future too much
Get a good amount of sleep
Eat healthy and drink water
Find stress management strategies that work for you
Self-compassion
Reach out if you need it!

I am most grateful for being put through these challenging times, so that I can look back from the other side and see what a fully grown warrior I have become, from such a little seed.
I am most grateful for this, so I can appreciate the beauty of others and the community more, and realise what precious rare gifts each and every one of us have to share.
