Shedding Light on Mental Health
By Kristen Lucas
U.S. mental health statistics are alarming. The National Alliance on Mental Illness reports 1 in 20 adults experience serious mental illness each year, that’s equal to more than 14 million people.
You are not alone. I struggle with stress and anxiety. My family members, and most likely yours, wrestle with mental health challenges, both big and seemingly small. Ever the optimist, I am buoyed by the powerful awareness and openness surrounding the historically taboo topic. In recent years we have seen professional athletes, actors and other high-profile public figures put their mental health before their jobs and thus raise awareness and acceptance.
I see it when my third-grade daughter and her classmates talk openly about their anxiety or anger, I see it when parents compare notes and offer resources to help one another, and I see it when families drop everything to support a loved one in crisis.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s keep talking and lifting up one another! The following resources on our wellness page are a good place to start.
The article Personalizing Your Self-care Journey to Wellness highlights five recommendations from holistic health coach Catherine Canadeo. We love the Calm wellness app in our house and Fairport Wealth offers it to employees and their families for free!
We also share with you two podcast episodes that offer tips for preventing burnout and promoting mental wellness in this digital age. In this first Keeping the Well in Well-thy podcast episode, business coach Sue Hawkes offers ideas to help you recognize personal limits and avoid exhaustion.
In the next episode, digital well-being specialist Susan Reynolds describes the importance of setting boundaries around technology. She also offers ideas for how to help a child strike a healthy balance between the online world and the natural beauty of real life.
Please enjoy and share these resources with anyone who could use a little mental health support and know that we are always available if you’d like to discuss the challenges going on in your world.
Wishing you peace and grace!
