Hello friends,
You probably already know May is Mental Health Awareness Month. I’ve been delighted to see how many different companies, civic groups, and other organizations are now using this occasion to talk openly about mental illness and well-being.
It’s also a good opportunity for each of us to strike up a conversation with friends and loved ones about mental health. One great way to get things started is by sharing a tip for how to “check in” with yourself to become more aware of your mental health status.
In this week’s discussion we’ll watch one of the best videos I’ve come across yet on how to building awareness of your mental health status: https://youtu.be/RUrpw8RLEDI These are the types of self-screening questions we should be asking ourselves at least once a month, not just in May!
Our warm-up question for this week:

What’s an activity you do that is all-but-guaranteed to bring you joy and stress relief?

See you soon,
Alex
