We All Have Mental Health
Learn about how to care for yourself and others with the Y
Mental Health is how we think, feel and act.
There are many things we can do to take care of our mental health. In fact, the Y is medicine! Let us help you find your Y prescription.
Did you know the Y is Medicine?
At the Y, we focus on healthy living in mind, body and spirit, which includes mental health. So what is mental health?
Mental health is how we THINK – FEEL – ACT.
In other words, how we are! What can the Y do to help your mental health?
- Every time you work out, your body releases chemicals that help increase happiness and reduce stress.
- Every time you get to know someone at the Y, you are boosting your sense of connection.
- Giving back to the community increases a sense of purpose.
- And so much more!
