There are things that we can do to help cope with loneliness and stress. Here are some tips for staying mentally well during challenging times:
1. Take care of your physical health: Eat nourishing foods and get your body moving with walks, yoga, or dancing!
2. Connect with others: Find creative ways to connect (use video calling, play an online game, or send some old-fashioned snail mail).
3. Relax: Find time to do things that are relaxing and feel good. Take a bubble bath, snuggle up with a pet, or start an art project or puzzle.
4. Be kind to yourself: Give yourself a break. It’s okay to be less productive while under high levels of stress-treat yourself with the same compassion and gentleness that you would a loved one.
5. Ask for help: Mental health services are available, and there is no shame in reaching out for support.

October is National Substance Use Prevention Month!

Substance use impacts our mental health. The reasons we use substances and/or the effects that substances have on our brain chemistry, influences our overall behavioral health and how we live and function in our daily lives.

If you are interested in learning what the different levels of care may look like, you’ll see that seeking help for addiction is not as scary as it seems. Taking the first step is the hardest part. Integrated Treatment and Recovery Services (ITRS) is here to help.

Give the CMHA-CEI Access Center a call to learn more about our services and programs at 517-346-8318. A Customer Service Representative will go through a quick assessment with you. Our team will help you to your next steps in sobriety and a healthier future.

Community Mental Health Authority of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties (CMHA-CEI) offers substance use disorder and alcohol addiction treatment and services that are available to anyone throughout the State of Michigan.

🎃✨ We had an amazing time at the Lansing Trick-or-Treat Trail this past weekend at Ben Davis Park! Our HR Specialist Steven showed up in full Halloween spirit to share smiles, hand out candy, and connect with our community. 🧡🍬

Events like this remind us why community matters. When families, neighbors, and organizations come together, we build stronger bonds, create lasting memories, and support the wellbeing of those around us.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, dressed up, laughed, and made the trail come alive. We loved seeing all the incredible costumes and positive energy!

🎃Community. Belonging. Support.
That’s the CMHA-CEI way! 🕸️
