Mental Health Awareness Month

May 2024

While mental health has different connotations for everyone, it’s much more than a buzzword. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It’s a key factor in how we think, feel, act, cope with challenges, relate to others, and make healthy choices. And if you don’t feel strong in all these areas, you’re not broken—you’re human.

What better time than Mental Health Awareness Month to start thinking about what mental health means to you? At Spring Health, we’re dedicated to supporting you, no matter what your story is or where you are on your path to well-being. We hope you’ll join us for some special events this May (but don’t forget, we’re here for you all year long).

No matter who you are or what you’ve been through, your story matters—and writing it down can help you take control of the next chapter. Join a workshop led by a Spring Health provider to explore journaling as a way to embrace your uniqueness, heal, grow, and connect with yourself and others. Bring your pen and paper to this interactive session, where you’ll get comfortable with writing about how you’re feeling and learn all the ways it can benefit your mental health.
These two workshops will cover the same material, but you’re welcome to attend both sessions to build on your journaling skills!

Mindfulness to Improve Your Sleep

Mindfulness can improve your sleep by helping to reduce stress, worries, and racing thoughts. The practice of focusing on one thing, like your breath, helps your mind stay engaged with the present and not fixate on the past or worry about the future.
