January is Mental Wellness Month, a perfect opportunity to transition away from the hectic holiday season and focus on prioritizing personal well-being. Mental wellness encompasses all the proactive steps you take to maintain and support your mental health needs. Prioritizing your individual needs will assist in maintaining balance and wellness throughout the year.
