We had an amazing time last week celebrating the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) at several different facilities that we work closely with.

Today is World Mental Health Day. Mental health should, of course, be discussed year-round---however today is dedicated to bringing global awareness to this extremely important subject. Did you know that in 2019, an estimated 51.5 million adults in the U.S. alone live with a mental illness. That's over 20% of the population or 1 in 5 adults!

So now is a great time to check in on your mental health. Maintaining good mental health often means maintaining good physical health as well. Here are are some tips that could help you maintain positive mental health:

- Socialize and spend time with friends and family.
- Get at least 8 hours of sleep.
- Exercise at least 30 minutes a day.
- Journal your achievements and gratitude.
- Get away from social media.
- Travel.
- Go outside for fresh air and sun.
- Meditate.
- Try something new: cooking, arts, writing, sports, anything!
