International Self-Care Day 

CMHA Champlain East joins individuals and organizations around the globe in celebrating International Self-Care Day on July 24, which aims to raise public awareness of the importance of self-care to stay healthy and prevent or delay illness.

Self-care is more important now than ever before. With more than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are struggling with burnout, loneliness, and depression. Prioritizing self-care can increase resiliency, which can be helpful when faced with problems, stress, and other difficult situations.

A self-care task should not be big or complicated – in fact, when energy and resolve is low, it’s important to make it as simple as possible. To help, CMHA has created a resource with simple ideas to help you feel better. Each tip only takes 15 minutes and is designed to help boost your mental, emotional, physical, social or spiritual health.
