    I have made a point to take a walk daily. Alone, with my fiancé, with dogs, or without dogs. Even a short walk through the neighborhood to rejuvenate and reconnect with nature!

    I make a point to read every night before bed, even if it's just a page or two. Try to maintain my chai tea habit, it is esssentially for helping me relax.

    Why Does Mental Health Awareness Matter? 

     

    Even though mental health is just as important as physical health, it's still often ignored or misunderstood. Consider these statistics: 

    • 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year. 
    • 1 in 20 U.S. adults face serious mental illness annually. 
    • 1 in 6 U.S. teens have a mental health condition, but only half of them get treatment. 
    • 50% of mental illnesses start by age 14, and 75% by age 24. 
    • In 2023, 20% of high school students seriously considered suicide. 

    These stats are more than numbers. They represent real people - including friends, family, coworkers and classmates - who need support.
