Mental Health Tips—Spring Break 

“Spring Break is the perfect time to relax and recharge.” 

Spring break is approaching fast. Here are some safety and self-care steps that you can take to help you have a healthy spring break.  

Safety 

  • Travel with others: there is safety in numbers. If you are in a new place, or meeting new people, try to surround yourself with people you trust such as your family or close friends. 

  • Stay hydrated: whether you’re in a warm place or just at home, now is a good time to focus on getting in enough water.  

  • Wear sunscreen: protect you skin by wearing sunscreen. Even the March sun can burn the skin if you are outside for long periods of time.  

  • Consume alcohol safely: If you are drinking, drink in moderation and be aware of your limits. 

Self-Care  

Here are some self-care ideas to engage in over break. Make it a goal to try one self-care things a day while you’re on break!  

  • Cuddle with your pets  

  • Watch your favorite movie with a friend or family member. 

  • Drink a hot cup of coffee or tea. 

  • Catch up on reading your favorite book. 

  • Step away from screens 

  • Get outside.
