Mental Health Awareness Month

Reflection

“Mental health…is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going.” –Noam Shpancer

Prayer

God with us,

Mental Health Awareness Month invites all of us to renew our commitment to be attentive and responsive to health and well-being in every dimension, including those areas that are easily overlooked and neglected because we learn to cover them up so efficiently. As we continue to serve the mental health of our patients and families with devotion, help us also to be good servants of each other, keeping our eyes and ears open for signs of distress among our associates and colleagues. May we be sensitive and brave at the same time, willing to speak up whenever we have concern, even for our own sake. With thanks for your healing among us today, Amen.

Call to Action

Recognize Mental Health Awareness month by taking time to examine myself and the health of my relationships. Be willing to step out, either to help another or seek help myself.
