FHC: Mental Health Awareness Month

 

As May is “Mental Health Awareness Month”, let us remember to pay attention to our well-being.

Mental health addresses our overall emotional well-being. Our mental health affects our thoughts, our behaviors as well as our actions. It affects the way we interact with others (family, co-workers, peers, teachers, etc.). It affects how we handle stress and affects our mood.

By paying attention to our mental health, we can work to make positive changes in our lives. Being aware of mental health issues and seeking assistance in a timely manner may reduce the time spent in treating our mental health, result in fewer and less serious symptoms and increase our self-esteem.

If you are interested in receiving mental health services, contact Frederiksted Health Care Inc. at 340-772-0260 to schedule an appointment with our counselor.
