MENTAL Framework Guides
When Your Mind Feels Overwhelmed, Start With One Healthy Step. Sometimes you know something does not feel right, but you are not sure where to begin. You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally tired, distracted, anxious, or simply unlike yourself. You do not have to solve everything at once.
The MENTAL Framework gives you a simple way to slow down, identify what you are experiencing, and decide what your next healthy step may be.
