A Week to Change Direction
A Week to Change Direction was a virtual, global event where we are asked everyone to flood social media by sharing how they took care of their emotional wellbeing by creating and maintaining Healthy Habits. Individuals and organizations sharee what they did for themselves and for loved ones, coworkers, neighbors and communities to protect and encourage everyone’s emotional wellness during this worldwide pandemic.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was a virtual event, that was participated from the safety of individual homes. It took place during one week of Mental Health Awareness Month, May 9th-15th
