    The Importance of Self-Care

    With the start of the new school year, it is important to remember to practice self-care. Since the start of the pandemic, many of us have been feeling more anxious, sad, fearful, irritable, etc. than usual. If you haven’t done so already, we encourage you to develop a self-care plan. California’s former Surgeon General, Nadine Burke Harris, MD recommends we incorporate the following healthy practices into our lives: Supportive Relationships, Quality Sleep, Physical Activity, Mindfulness Practices, Balanced Nutrition, and Mental Health Care.

    Here is a great article on "How and Why to Practice Self-Care" by Mental Health First Aid.
