Mental Health Day 2021
World Mental Health Day was created to raise awareness of mental health issues and to remind people the importance of prioritizing this type of health care. According to Mental Health America, 19% of adults are experiencing a mental illness this year alone. This percentage is equivalent to over 47 million Americans. 4.55% of those adults are experiencing a severe mental illness.
These statistics are staggering. Mental health affects how we think, feel, and act as we go through our day. It also plays a factor in how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Poor mental health can have a negative impact on relationships, self-esteem, performance, and much more. Whether you are a coach, athlete, parent, employee, or executive, your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Read tips on how to improve mental health below!
