Closing Out Mental Health Awareness Month:
A Gentle Reminder

At OAC's Your Weight Matters Virtual event this past weekend, Paul Davidson, PhD, explained that about 80% of our thoughts are negative. When we engage in negative self-talk, it impairs mental health, contributes to depression and anxiety, impacts our relationships and reduces our sense of self-worth. 

As we close out Mental Health Awareness Month in May, keep the below encouraging reminder in your back pocket!

P.S. Hear Dr. Davidson, a renowned behavioral health expert, speak at OAC's in-person National Convention this summer in Washington, DC!
