It’s Mental Health Awareness Week (May 3rd to 7th) and National Child and Youth Mental Health Day is May 7th.

This year’s theme is understanding our emotions. #GetReal; Name it, don’t Numb it.  Recognizing, labeling and accepting our feelings are all part of mental health.  If you haven’t registered your class already, sign up for Balancing our Minds Youth Summit May 5th and 12th. Register here.
