Ma'at E's Mental Health Message

Ma'at E's Mental Health Message:

Remember the reasons to be hopeful.
Life can be such a challenge, filled with emotion, stress, anxiety and fear. At the change of the seasons and the end of the year we can feel especially weary. A lack of hope is one of the greatest predictors of the most serious of self-harming behaviors (e.g, attempting to take one's own life). Therefore, it is important to get reminders as often as possible of our purpose, who we love, and what gifts or blessings we have to live for. When it gets hard to remember these things, it is time to ask for help. Ask if you need it or support someone else.
Peace, Maat E. L. Lewis
