Wellness Tips

Mental health is an essential component for living a healthy life and a main factor in overall health.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a profound effect on all of us, including on our mental health. To take care of it, you can:

• Accept yourself and others.
• Try new activities and hobbies.
• Prioritize your physical health.

Working on your mental health can increase your coping skills, improve self-esteem and resilience, and help create healthy relationships with others.
