In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Newburyport Pediatrics is taking a page out of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (“NAMI”) approach this year. We learned that NAMI has a Wall of Gratitude set up where participants write what they are grateful for on a post-it note and add it to the wall.

If you’re in the Newburyport Pediatrics office this month, please contribute and let us know what you’re grateful for! You can also post it below!

And, if you want to read more about the Wall of Gratitude - check it out here:

What are two things that come to mind when you think of May? For us, it's Justin Timberlake's meme and Mental Health Awareness month!

All kidding aside, we know this year’s is our most important one yet and despite over a year of isolation, Newburyport Pediatrics wants you and your kiddos to know you’re not alone. We’ll be sharing various ideas throughout the month to inspire self-care. For starters, take a look at this USA Today article which provides some helpful self-care tips (while their intended audience is likely adults, we know you can incorporate these into your children’s daily enrichment). And, as always, if you need anyone to talk to - Dr. Merkrebs and her staff are only a phone call (or visit) away: https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2021/05/01/mental-health-awareness-month-treat-yourself-self-care/7409259002/
