On July 22nd and 23rd, the Mental Health First Aid team of Jason Vaquera, Mental Health First Aid Coordinator/Outreach Worker, Erika Aime Baeza, Mental Health Awareness Training Coordinator, and Brandi Sablan, Human Resources Development Coordinator, taught Adult Mental Health First Aid to 105 staff members of Concho Valley Council of Governments' Head Start and Early Head Start Programs.

This training equips people with the tools to assist individuals who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis. Participants learned to recognize early warning signs, worsening signs and symptoms, and crisis signs and symptoms, and how to provide support using the Mental Health First Aid Action Plan.

If you would like to learn how to make a difference and help reduce the stigma associated with mental health, please contact Jason Vaquera or Erika Aime Baeza at 325-658-7750, ext. 381.

Every year on July 24th, International Self Care Day promotes self-care as a vital foundation of health. It’s also a day for people around the world to prioritize self-care and make it a part of their lifestyle.

When you take care of yourself to stay well, you are practicing self-care. Staying well includes taking care of your whole self: physically, mentally, and emotionally. For some, self-care also includes taking care of themselves spiritually. So what exactly does self-care look like? It could be as simple as having some quiet time each day. Others might have coffee with a friend at least once a week.

Other examples of self-care include:

*Having a regular sleep routine
*Maintaining a healthy weight
*Keeping a reflective journal
*Practicing gratitude
*Getting a massage
*Listening to relaxing music
*Reading a good book
*Learning to say no
*Asking for help when necessary

There are other areas of self-care that some focus on as well. For example, financial self-care involves paying bills on time and putting money into savings. Monitoring time on social media and decluttering your home are included in environmental self-care.

Self-care is especially important for caregivers. It’s easy for a caregiver to pour all of their time and energy into another person. Doing so eventually takes its toll. As the saying goes, “You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first.”
