Mental Health Awareness Month
Happy May everyone! Also, happy spring- finally!
May has always been one of my favorite months of the year-
it means that spring is here (my favorite season!), school is almost done for
the year, and I can watch lots of baseball. As Miss North Dakota International
2013 and as someone who has had depression, May is my favorite month for
another reason- it is Mental Health Month! This year’s Mental Health Month
theme is “Pathways to Wellness.”
You don’t have to be suffering from a mental illness to
celebrate Mental Health Month- everyone should take care of and be aware of his
or her mental health! Mental Health America has a handy calendar (below) that
shares daily tips on how to take care of your mental health. Something as
little as calling a friend can improve your mood for the day and your overall
mental health!
Even though it is already the middle of May (my final exams
really made this month get away from me!), still check out these tips and
challenge yourself to complete each one!
