Fun fact Friday!!

Did you know that being involved in art, including music and dance, is a great way to promote mental health!?

The best part is that it helps people to improve their mental health through creativity. Making art is helping many people express themselves, without even having to use words!

Did you know that Nurse Erin plays piano and loves to get crafty?! 💚🐝

Happy Mindful Monday!

Mindfulness mitigates the effects of bullying, enhances focus, reduces attention difficulties, improves mental health, and improves social skills!

Join me later as I guide you through a mindfulness walking exercise 💚

Happy Friday!

One of the biggest barriers to seeking help with mental health is the stigma around mental illness.

One of the best ways to is to talk openly about mental health and illness.

Be conscious of the language you use when discussing this topic; choose compassion, empowerment, and equality (when compared to physical illness and health).

Educate yourself and be honest about treatment.

So this weekend, I encourage you to add mental health (illness and wellness) to your dinner table conversation topics! 💚

Happy mental health Monday!

Regular exercise can have a profoundly positive impact on depression, anxiety, ADHD, and more. It also relieves stress, improves memory, helps you sleep better, and boosts your overall mood.

It’s Fun Fact Friday!

And even though facts about mental health and mental illness may not be so “fun”, they are definitely eye opening.

Don’t wait to seek help.
