Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental health can be a challenge for anyone, but for people living with disabilities, it often comes with added layers.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s remember to check in with ourselves and each other.

Some signs to watch for:

😔Ongoing low mood or lack of joy
🌙Changes in sleep or appetite
😴Feeling extra tired or low energy
📈Increased worry, anger, or irritability
🚪Withdrawing from people or activities

For people with disabilities, managing mental health can involve navigating more barriers – both seen and unseen. That’s why knowing the signs early and practicing mindfulness every day can make a real difference in overall well-being.
