Let's take some time to reflect on mental health during Black Maternal Health Week.Mental health conditions affect people from every racial and ethnic background. However, in Black communities, mental illness is pervasive and can have a myriad of negative social and economic impacts. Perceived stress from chronic experiences of discrimination has been found to be a significant predictor of poor birth outcomes. Keeping yourself happy and healthy is important. Mental stress can be hard to combat, but some ways to improve your mental health include: ✅Practicing gratitude - being thankful for the good things in your life. It's helpful to do this every day, either by thinking about what you are grateful for or writing it down in a journal. Practicing gratitude can help you to see your life differently. For example, when you are stressed, you may not notice that there are also moments when you have some positive emotions. Gratitude can help you recognize them.✅Connecting with others. Humans are social creatures, and it's important to have strong, healthy relationships with others. Having good social support may help protect you against the harms of stress. It is also good to have different types of connections. Besides connecting with family and friends, find ways to get involved with your community or neighborhood.✅Meditation is a mind and body practice where you learn to focus your attention and awareness. There are many types, including mindfulness meditation and transcendental meditation. Meditation usually involves:➡️A quiet location with as few distractions as possible.➡️A specific, comfortable posture. This could be sitting, lying down, walking, or another position.➡️A focus of attention, such as a specially chosen word or set of words, an object or your breathing.➡️An open attitude - try to let distractions come and go naturally without judging them.#CamdenHealthyStart #BlackMaternalHealthWeek #BlackMaternalHealth #BlackMaternalHealthMatters #BMHW25 #MentalHealth #MaternalMentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #BlackMaternalMentalHealth ...
