Self-care should be part of your summer plans. Not just for International Self-Care Day (July 24) or Self-Care Month (June 24 to July 24), but every single day.
For July and August, we’re encouraging you to put self-care on your daily agenda. It’s a broad term that encompasses everything from health promotion and disease prevention to nutrition and lifestyle. You get to decide what self-care looks like for you.
Below, you’ll find resources to help get you started (or restarted) down the path to self-care.
