Mental Wellness Awareness Month: Helping children start the year with a healthy mind
January is Mental Wellness Awareness Month. As we kick off the new year, this serves as an important reminder to make time in our busy lives and attend to our mental health and wellbeing—and there’s no better time to make this into a habit than at the beginning of a new year.
