May is Mental Health Awareness Month. A report produced by the CDC shows the significant impact that COVID-19 has had on adults in the U.S. Between August 2020 and February 2021, those reporting recent symptoms of an anxiety or depressive order increased from 36.4% to 41.5%. Meanwhile, the percentage of individuals reporting unmet mental health care needs increased from 9.2%-11.7%.
USANA’s Kevin Guest
Ironically, as the pandemic is improving and workers are looking at returning to office settings, anxiety is spiking, not dropping.
Therefore, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Kevin Guest is offering six practices to help workers ease back into an onsite work pattern. Guest is chairman and CEO of USANA Health Sciences. He authored the bestseller “All the Right Reasons: 12 Timeless Principles for Living a Life in Harmony.”
