Environment is mental health

The environment that you work in is just as important as the environment that you are surrounded with outside of the workplace. The workplace environment, if done correctly, can contribute to the betterment of the mental health of everyone involved. 

They both are equally as important. For instance, if your home is untidy, you are not living in a safe neighborhood, if you never have anything to eat or your only options are unhealthy ones, just to name a few, then it will have a negative affect on your mental health and your ability to perform at a high level.  On the work place side, your work place environment on a whole is key. The physical things but also the mental part. How your managers, supervisors or clients interact with you. Their leadership or communication style has an affect on the employees and the moral of the office and or the team. Is it a positive experience overall or is it an unpleasant one? Maybe it is a high stressed roll and has everyone on edge and increases the tension in the workplace. How are you giving feedback? Is is harsh, rough and tough approach, is it tailored to how each person receives feedback or is it a cut and dry approach? 

Knowing how to effectively express your thoughts emotions and ideas without decreasing the moral of the team is a very useful skill. We want to ensure that everyone's experience is positive and therefore increasing the productivity, confidence and mental health of the team. 





Sincerely,

Self-care.

 Longevity is the name of the game. For us to be in this game for a long time, we need to develop habits that will help us go the distance.  Whether it is meditation, jogging, exercise, eating healthy, or taking time to travel alone and disconnect from the rest of the world. We can also provide self-care by putting some systems in place to take the load off our shoulders. Strategies include making sure there is someone to pick up the kids from school for us, having a chef prepare dinner, hiring a maid to clean once a week, and dropping off the laundry instead of spending hours doing it yourself, to name a few. These are a few things that can help you reclaim your time and save your energy, which you can deploy in other areas of your life in a productive way.  Whatever you choose with that free time and energy is up to you. I suggest using it to reset and recharge. You could get a little work done in between but make it count.  Sincerely, Kurtice Lewis

The dog days.

Have you ever had one of those days where you do not feel like being at work or showing up as your best self? It is not because you don't want to. It is just where your energy level is at that moment. At times, it can be that you have so much to do and don't have the energy to begin. What are some things you do to get out of this funk? Do you take a mental break? Do you take a day off to recharge and re-energize? Are you doing activities to return to a place of upbeat, positive energy? Or, there are things that you avoid. Perhaps there are some activities you have noticed that bring your energy down. If you are having one of those days today, I pray you can pull through the day and do the things that bring your energy levels up. Both physically and spiritually. Sincerely, Kurtice Lewis

Onwards and Upwards: Public Housing's Impact on Lives

Imagine the profound impact when young adults transition from living with their parents. Consider the hope that comes with new beginnings after leaving incarceration. In previous years, the average middle-class person may not have considered public housing an option. However, with the rise of inflation and the ongoing economic crises, think about the relief for those unable to afford skyrocketing rent rates. Public housing is pivotal in filling these crucial gaps, providing stability, empowerment, and a second chance.  Stories abound of individuals who have transformed their lives through public housing, finding a stepping stone to a brighter future from independence to newfound opportunities; public housing proves its importance by paving the way toward success, one life at a time.
