Here are simple ways to proactively manage your mental health:

• Reach out. Keeping in touch with loved ones can help keep you active, solve practical problems and make you feel included.

• Take breaks. Five minutes away from your desk or a weekend exploring somewhere new can help you de-stress.

• Talk about your feelings. It’s big part of taking charge of your mental well-being.

• Do something you’re good at. Losing yourself in an activity you enjoy boosts self-esteem and provides a sense of accomplishment.

• Ask for help. Everyone gets overwhelmed at times, and there’s no shame in admitting it.
