At San Fernando Valley Community Mental Health Center, Inc., we are committed to supporting the wellness of our staff, clients and our community. Wellness and self-care are not matters of selfishness or ego. Taking care of our own needs on a consistent basis leads to better mental health, greater productivity, and richer relationships with family, friends and professional colleagues.
Our programs often guide the way for wellness. One such program is the Victory Wellness Center. The program's staff supports clients in their process toward healing, change and transformation. They provide opportunities to learn new skills for self-reliance, develop natural supports, and access local resources that will help consumers grow in their well-being and achieve their full potential through staff-member partnerships and member-driven services.
For the community, the Center offers free virtual training on Mental Health First Aid. Mental health first aid is like physical health first aid and offers a detailed approach to helping people who may be in crisis. Email mhfa@sfvcmhc.org for more information and upcoming trainings.
As the pandemic continues to impact all of us, here is practical information on self-care during these challenging times.
