Hi Reader,
Most of us keep First Medical Aid in our homes and cars for easy reach when necessary, but how many of us have First Aid Kit for our Feelings? In honour of World Mental Health Day on the 10th of October and our health every single day, we always encourage you to take care of yourself first!
Read Why you need to know your First Aid for Feelings from our friend Thor A Rain at The Helpful Clinic.
Okay, brew a cuppa and read along when you're ready...
Instagram Shenanigans
