Acknowledge whatever you’ve been through this year and use self-compassion in knowing that you have done the best you can in coping with any stress, anxiety, depression, grief, mental exhaustion, and even burnout. Life can be tough for everyone and you are not alone in feeling the way you do.
Similar to any physical health condition – if we are not feeling well mentally and we do not treat it, our mental health will only get worse. We can’t predict what we’ll be facing in 2024, so let’s make it a priority to support our mental health and get the support we need now.
As part of KP’s national mental health and wellness efforts, Kaiser Permanente has developed a brief training for the people of KP in the support of improving our mental health. Here you can learn more about mental health conditions, erasing stigma, and learning how to support yourself and others in getting help. In the times that we’re living in, everyone deserves the ability to reach out, seek help, and get treatment when we feel we need it. Learn more and take KP's Mental Health Training.
