  • Self - Care Summer 

    happy children

    Our mental health is just as important as our physical health.  They are interconnected.  Self-care is one way to take care of both our physical health and our mental health.  According to www.annafreud.org, self-care is all about what you can do to help yourself feel better or to keep yourself feeling good. It’s a way that we can look after our own mental health and wellbeing. It can help your body and mind to relax, drift away, or be more energized.
