Mental Health Awareness Month |
|
|
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. The prevalence of mental health issues has been brought to the front burner in our society since the pandemic. Much has been written about the negative effects of isolation, social media, and loneliness on kids and their developing brains. When our kids suffer, we suffer. We all know this, and yet how to help and what to do escapes us. There is a critical shortage of mental health providers and services worldwide, even in our state with world class medical services.
At Horizons Health and Wellness, we have been adding resources as we learn about them to our website's resources page for mental health services.
Search our "Healthy Spirits/Healthy Minds" page to find links to places offering stress management techniques, better coping skills, counseling (in multiple languages), communication skills, tools for managing difficult emotions, divorce support, and specific links for adolescent mental health.
Many studies have shown significant stress reduction with exercise, meditation, praying, journaling, singing, playing an instrument, listening to music, art (painting, drawing, doodling, pottery etc), acupuncture, massage, heat (hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas), laughter and good nutrition. All of these techniques work better when they are a regular, consistent part of your life.
Have you visited our resources page? On it, you will find resources for accessing mental health providers, chronic pain management, meal delivery services and much more!

Most skincare and cosmetic products contain a variety of chemicals called "endocrine disruptors" (meaning hormone disruptors). These contribute to a wide variety of medical problems in women (and men and children!) Many other ingredients in skincare products are also toxic to the environment to produce. BeautyCounter has eliminated all of these chemicals from their products.

Wrinkle Reduction |
Wrinkles occur over time due to loss of collagen below the skin surface. Adequate nutrition, hydration, sleep and toxin avoidance are necessary to reduce and delay the appearance of wrinkles. But once they appear, smoothing them out can be challenging. TempSure Envi treatments obtain beautiful results without injecting fillers. Most people require a series of treatments to reverse existing wrinkles, and then occasional maintenance treatments.
