Navigating Mental Health as a Parks and Recreation Professional
The last year has been a tough one for me personally. I don't know your specific story, but I'd guess we can all relate to navigating the ups and downs of life, either personally or professionally. I knew I needed to make some changes to help myself. Over the years, I've given several presentations on the health and wellness benefits of parks and recreation, but this past year I realized I hadn't been practicing what I preached. I hope this blog will help others who might be experiencing the same thing with some lessons I’ve learned, while knowing you’re not alone.
