Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s out there!
I know it’s Sunday, and I’m only supposed to write a Brain Break post, but…it’s also Mother’s Day, and the article I’m getting ready to share with you may actually help the mothers out there give their brains a break.
In 2008 May is Mental Health Month: Stressed “Sandwich Generation” Mothers Must Care for Themselves, Mental Health America “encourages mothers to take the Mental Health Connection Challenge by building their social support networks to help cope with the stress of their demanding lives.”
The article offers tips for mothers to cope with the “demands of modern motherhood,” as well as a list of problematic symptoms to consider, and it all ties in with Mental Health America’s “Get Connected” theme for Mental Health Month.
Check it out, and remember to take care of yourselves as you take care of others!
