Mental Health Awareness Week
Mental health is important not
only to you as an individual, but also with your family, friends, and at your
place of work. Mental Health AwarenessWeek is May 4-10, 2015. Use this
time to talk amongst your family, friends and co-workers about issues related
to mental health. Each and every one of
us encounters struggles within our daily lives.
A person can struggle with changes in mood, energy, sleep, appetite,
weight, concentration, attention and self-worth. Talking amongst our natural supports help us
to recognize we are not alone. It also
helps us to gain support in accessing counselors, social workers, therapists and psychologists when our mental health is significantly impacting our daily
function.
Terri Ward is a Mental Health Therapist at the Leduc Beaumont Devon Primary Care Network.
