Learn more about Mental Health
Our surroundings play a significant role in shaping our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and overall health, and learning about the impact of our surroundings on our mental health is a valuable way to take control of our own well-being. Check out the information, resources, and tools we’ve provided to get started.
Neighborhoods & Towns
One of the biggest ways your location can impact your mental health is how easy or hard it is to access the things you need.
Healthy Home Environment
Optimizing your space to improve your mental health is something that anyone can benefit from.
Outdoors & Nature
Spending time in nature is linked to many positive mental health outcomes – improved focus, lower stress, better mood, and reduced risk of developing a mental health condition.
Stable & Safe Housing
Safe and stable housing is a basic need, and it can be difficult or impossible to care for your mental health if that need is not met.
