If you or someone you know is having a mental health crisis, don't hesitate to call or text 988 or call 911.
Hello June!
Do something nice for yourself every day.
Spend time outside...in the sunshine, when it is possible, and walk about whenever you can.
Movement makes everyone feel better!
Call a family member or a friend and have a chat..
Listen to music or make some music of your own.
If you've never done so, try writing in a journal...perhaps write 3 things you're grateful for every day.
Smile with your whole face!
