May is Mental Health Month
The theme for Mental Health Month this year is “Where to Start. Mental Health in a Changing World”
The world is constantly changing – for better or for worse – and it can be overwhelming to deal with everything going on around you. While society is getting more comfortable discussing mental health, it can still be hard to know “Where to Start” when it comes to taking care of your own well-being.
This month we will focus on:
- LEARN how modern life affects mental health with new resources to navigate our changing world.
- ACT by building your coping toolbox so you can manage stress, difficult emotions, and challenging situations.
- ADVOCATE to improve mental health for yourself, your friends and family, and your community.
For anyone struggling with the pressure of today’s world, feeling alone, or wondering if they can feel better, this is Where to Start.
Use the calendar below to get started. Click the picture to get a printable version of the calendar.
One way Atlantic Packaging is going to “Get Started” is by showing our support and raising awareness for Mental Health.
Green Ribbons will be sent to each location and we encourage everyone to wear them to show your support.
AND on May 16th we will have a WEAR GREEN day.
Other ways you can get started are:
- Take a Mental Health Screening
- Check out this 4×4 with 4 things that might be affecting your mental health and 4 things you can do about it.
- Keep this Additional Resources page handy incase your or someone you know needs help.
Throughout the month, we will be posting resources and information on the Atlantic Wellness Webex Page. If you are not part of the Webex group and would like to be added, reach out to Becca Schusler at beccas@atlanticpkg.com.
If you are taking steps to get started but are still struggling with your mental health, you may be experiencing signs of a mental health condition.
