Are you ready to take control of your mental health? Well, research demonstrates that 1 in 3 people are struggling with loneliness, which is the greatest indicator of depression. With so many people struggling, it's time to take matters into our own hands. The good news is that according to Harvard University approximately 80% of people experiencing mental health symptoms can have their needs met through less formal treatment options.
In this workbook we are going to use science to help you meet your mental health needs. There is extensive research about how your everyday actions contribute to your mental health. The intention is to educate you about how you can actually take control of your mental health, before it gets to a crisis space. This book is going to focus on the Social Influences of Mental Health. By understanding how social aspects of our lives impact our happiness and wellbeing, we can begin to incorporate everyday strategies into our daily practice. The goal is to harness these social influences to create the support that we need on a regular basis. By intentionally practicing the social aspects of your life, you can create the balance that you need to be happier and healthier. This book is designed to share research, tangible tools, and simple techniques. The good news is that most of these techniques are fun and easy to incorporate into your life.
