Are you taking care of your mental health this winter? It’s already gotten darker and colder, but as the holidays draw near it can be tough if you don’t live close to family and loved ones.
There’s nothing to be ashamed about if you struggle with your mental health. In fact, studies show that 25% of the American population suffers from some kind of mental health disorder.
