Are you taking care of yourself?
Your mental health depends, in large part, on how you treat yourself. Physical movement, sleep, the ability to log off, and more all play a role in how you feel day to day. But it’s not easy to do. For many, taking care of ourselves drops on our list of priorities in favor of the commitments and challenges of life and caring for others. Take this test to see where you fall on the self-care scale.
