Mental Health Matters
Helping to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.
January is recognized as Mental Wellness Month, where we want to place an even greater focus on maintaining mental health, especially during the winter when shorter days and colder weather can have an affect on your overall mental state.
Staying active during the winter months is a great way to support your mental health by boosting your mood, reducing stress, and improving overall well-being. Physical activity releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters, and helps combat feelings of sluggishness.
Even in winter, there are plenty of ways to stay active. Consider bundling up for a brisk walk, trying an indoor workout like yoga or strength training, or joining a local gym or fitness class. If outdoor activities appeal to you, options like hiking, snowshoeing, or even playing in the snow with family or pets can be both fun and beneficial. Staying active doesn’t have to be intense—consistent movement, even in small doses, can make a big difference for your mental health.
West Cecil Health Center offers services to support mental wellness. Contact us to learn more or to schedule an appointment. Together, we can prioritize your mental health this winter.
