We have shared a lot this month about mental health and how important it is to take care of yourself.
Remember:
- It’s important to check in with yourself.
- It’s important to take breaks.
- It’s important to recognize signs of burnout.
- It’s okay to ask for help.
- You are not alone.
Current doctoral student and College of Public Health alumna Sachi Verma, MPH’17 shares her mental health story today. In under two minutes, Sachi talks about her journey taking care of her mental health, why it is important, and how students and alumni can get help. We are so appreciative of Sachi sharing her story
