SPOTLIGHT ON MENTAL ILLNESS MYTH BUSTING
This month we are highlighting how we think and talk about mental illness. Becoming aware of myths and facts can help people to become more tolerant and accepting of those in our community that suffer from mental health challenges.

We all have busy lives and make important choices about our lives daily. Work, family obligations and finances can
sometimes make it difficult to make healthy choices for ourselves, and those we care about.
Paying attention to what we eat and drink, exercising and having check-ups all contribute to our health and well-being.
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO MAKING THE NEXT CHOICE A HEALTHY CHOICE EACH DAY.
Living a wellness lifestyle means being proactive and taking preventive steps before an illness or condition sets in.
Many emotional, physical and social illnesses are actually preventable. You can take up yoga or meditation,
make positive changes to your diet and eliminate destructive or negative behaviors.
ASK YOURSELF, “WHAT STEPS CAN I TAKE TO KEEP MY BODY, MY MIND AND MY RELATIONSHIPS STRONG?”
