May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental health is an essential part of our overall health. After two years of a pandemic, anxiety and depression have increased by an astounding 25%. At Welia Health, we are committed to raising awareness about these and other mental health conditions. Look for articles in this newsletter each month highlighting mental health topics. If you or a loved one is struggling with mental health, see these local resources, or call us at 320.679.1313 to schedule an appointment with one of our mental health providers.

Coping with grief
While there is no one right way to grieve, recognizing grief’s physical and emotional symptoms is a good first step.
