Let's Be Well Together, OWN!

September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Join us for this Be Well Experience where we will practice actionable ways to use healthy connection as a method for suicide prevention.

Summer is a time to ignite your internal spark. As the weather continues to heat up, let’s also turn up the heat on our summer self-care journey! Watch this Be Well Experience focused on intentionally leaning into summertime wellness activities and practices.

"People are at the center of it all" means all people, all voices, all beliefs, and all identities are seen, known, and valued for who they uniquely are. You are not merely one of millions. Instead, you are one in a million, uniquely and beautifully you, and deserve to be celebrated. This Be Well Experience is rooted in the importance of belonging and its impacts on brain health.

When it comes to our brain health, there are many environmental factors that influence our overall wellbeing. This Be Well Experience, inspired by Mental Health America's 2023 Mental Health Month Toolkit, encourages us to "look around and look within" at where we live, where we work/learn, and where we gather to establish healthy habits and improve our wellbeing within.

Spring is a time to reset, renew and plant intentions for what we want to see grow. This Be Well Experience helps us plan our "spring forward" both as individuals and as the future of Anderson Engineering blossoms.

"It's the most wonderful time of the year…" but is it? How are you this season? We hope it's joy-filled, and based on our history, we also know to anticipate stress and overwhelm this time of year. What we know to do is to lean and care for ourselves rather than avoid and neglect our brain health. Let's Be Well Together to find HOPE this holiday season.

We have learned to develop a plan for emergencies related to physical crises and natural disasters. Our mental health deserves this same preparation. A Be Well Plan outlines what we do when we are in a brain health crisis.

The word "suicide" and the realities of suicide can be and feel really scary. This month and every month, Be Well believes that through intentional connection, we can reduce discomfort about suicide while increasing confidence in taking daily action against it. Connect the dots by practicing the activities below that build connection with ourselves and others. Complete the activities in order to create an image or practice in a way that fits you best!

Pause to assess how your brain health is in this current moment and identify action steps to care for yourself.
