🧠 5 Ways to Support Your Mental Health

1️⃣ Stay connected
Reach out to someone you trust — a quick chat can make a big difference.

2️⃣ Create a routine
Even small daily structure can help bring a sense of balance and control.

3️⃣ Move your body
A short walk, gentle stretch, or fresh air can boost your mood more than you think.

4️⃣ Be kind to yourself
It’s okay to have off days. Rest is productive too.

5️⃣ Ask for support
You don’t have to do it alone — help is always okay to accept.
