Feel Good Friday – Volunteer For Your Mental Health

Every Friday the Fox teams up with the Canadian Mental Health Association Lambton Kent for Feel Good Friday.  Sharing things you can do to take care of yourself, focus on your mental health and help you feel good!

“As we celebrate National Volunteer Week, did you know that volunteering is actually good for your mental health?! Studies have indicated that volunteering can decrease stress levels, depression, anxiety and boost your overall health and satisfaction with life. When you help other people, it activates the reward centre in your brain and releases serotonin, dopamine and endorphins. So not only will you be helping others in need, but its good for your mental health too!”

 

CMHA Lambton Kent is here to help and our Mental Health First Response Team is available 24/7. Please reach out for help if you need it:
