May is National Mental Health Awareness Month!
National Mental Health Awareness Month is intended to increase the awareness of the importance of mental health and wellness, as well as celebrate recovery from mental illness.
Mental health plays an important role in our overall health and well-being.
Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being and can affect how a person thinks, feels, and their actions.
Mental health is important for your overall well-being. Having poor mental health can negatively impact your physical health.

Throughout Spring, we may start seeing more rainy weather.
Rain can reduce or impair your view of the road when driving. The rain can also make the roads slick, and hazardous to drive on.
Here are some tips to stay safe while driving in the rain this Spring:
Turn on your headlights
Avoid flooded areas
Drive slower in rainy conditions
Defrost your windows
Use your windshield wipers while driving
Turn off your cruise control to reduce the risk of hydroplaning
Slow down when turning
Brake earlier and less forcefully when it's raining
Dry the soles of your shoes before driving to avoid your foot slipping off the pedals while driving
If you are having a hard time seeing the road due to rain, pull off the road to a safe location, and wait for better weather conditions
