We will work to change these resources on a weeklyish basis. We have various ways to work on self care for you and your family. We encourage you to take at least one point in your day and do a mental health check-in, be honest to yourself about how you feel. Get out and take that walk, grab a piece of chocolate, hide in the bathroom for 10 minutes from your family, have a 10 minute conversation with a friend. Find whatever it is that you need and do it. After your break, check back in and take a minute to see if you feel a little uplifted.
If you have resources to share, feel free to email them to bettertogether1823@gmail.com. We will try to include them at some point throughout this journey together. We want to thank everyone that has helped us gather and collect resources from the get go. We love you and are always BETTER TOGETHER!
Let's start with our 10 Days of Self Care - Many thanks to Mr. Munson for sharing!
