How Are You Taking Care of Yourself Today?

By Heather Kuehnl, PLPC

Self-care is one of the most important things you can do for yourself.  It can help decrease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and daily life stresses, as well as improve mood and overall health and well-being.  When you take care of yourself, you are better equipped to care for those around you, as well.

Self-care is also vitally important to children and adolescents as well.  They can experience a myriad of moods, feelings, and mental health concerns.  It is imperative that they are aware of, and supported with, ways to implement self-care strategies to help them manage every day stressors, symptoms of a mental health disorder, or simply get some of their wiggles out.  Below you will find some great self-care activities, for children/adolescents and adults, to support you and/or your child with self-care.
