HDMC Recognizes May as Mental Health Awareness Month

This Mental Health Awareness month is a great time to reflect on your own mental health and focus on taking care of your whole self. Life can be stressful, and when you are pursuing career training and higher education, you have even more on your plate. It’s vital to recognize those challenges, and your individual stressors, and take steps to manage them for your well-being. Here are some quotes from current Legacy Ed students about how they take care of their own mental health:

“The way I practice mental well-being is making time for myself, doing things like going to work out, getting some sleep, silent reading, going to sit next to some water, just having some me time, and that’s how I do it.”

“As a student you know during the week you get pretty hectic with your homework as well as practicing for exams and studying so for me practicing mental well-being I really like to take my time on the weekends to practice a lot of self-care whether that be going on a walk listening to music and watching a lot of my favorite comfort shows.”

“When it comes to mental health or handling stress, usually I’ll just write it down or reach out to someone that I trust because holding it in is never helpful.”

Seeking support is always a good thing. At HDMC, there is always help available; we encourage all of our students to come to Student Services or reach out to Legacy Education’s Well-Being Officer, any time they feel they need some support. It’s important to reach out if you feel like you need some support. Whether it is personal or professional, talking to someone can be the best step towards a better well-being. At HDMC, we are all here to help you!
