Mental Health

Mental health refers to one's psychological, emotional, and social well-being. Although there are a lot of factors that affect mental health, there are some simple habits that can help with stress-management:

• Take time for reflection. Use journals, meditation, or other strategies to reflect in an empathetic way to take steps toward better mental health.
• Practice gratitude. Give a shoutout to another awesome K-State employee! #WorkingWildcats
• Set up a healthy work-life balance.
• Go outside! Mental Health Benefits of the Outdoors
