Proactive mental health strategies to strengthen long-term wellbeing

Every individual has mental health that they need to care for.

There’s more to mental health than disorders.  It’s a reflection of how individuals process and feel their emotions, the ways in which they cope in good and bad times, and a reflection of how someone views themselves.

Taking proactive steps to protect mental wellbeing and mental health contributes to a person’s overall quality of life, relationships, and even physical health. By prioritizing emotional well-being, individuals can foster a more positive mindset, improve their coping mechanisms, and enhance their ability to navigate both the highs and lows of life.

When individuals experience cumulative stress and face challenging situations without effective coping skills, they may resort to unhealthy habits or develop symptoms of mental health disorders that require professional assistance to manage.

“Prioritizing your mental wellness is a sign of strength, and it’s okay to reach out for support at any stage of life,” said Carlene Cardosi, Rosecrance Behavioral Health’s President of Clinical Services and Chief Operating Officer. “You don’t have to be in crisis or have a mental health disorder to seek therapy. Engaging in therapy now, before facing a challenging life experience, can help you build the resilience, support, and confidence needed to navigate difficult times.”

If you or a loved one needs assistance, Rosecrance Therapies offers outcomes-based treatment that provides the best opportunity for lasting recovery. Clients will learn a variety of effective healthy coping skills that strengthen the mind, body, and spirit.
