Today is World Mental Health Day.
In times like these, with gas and grocery prices so high and the economy the way it is, self-care can feel like one more thing that doesn't belong in the budget.
It might even feel selfish to make space for it.
We want you to know we understand that feeling, And taking care of yourself isn't selfish.
Self-care doesn't always look the same. It might be a massage one day, a yoga class the next, a community event later that week. It might also be reading in the park, stepping away from social media for a while, or just taking a shower when all you want to do is sit on the couch.
Mental health is complex, and it means something different for everyone. What we hope you take from today is simple: you matter, and your mental health matters.
We encourage you to do something for yourself today, and every day. And if life ever feels like too much, please reach out. A friend, a loved one, or if you need it, here are some local mental health support resources:
