The Arrowhead Regional Public Health and Tribal Health Departments are challenging community members to share what they are grateful for throughout the month of May. People are encouraged to share what they are grateful for on social media with the #GratitudeAttitudeMN. Schools and businesses are also urged to participate with gratitude challenges for their students or staff. âShowing gratitude and being thankful helps improve your physical and mental health by improving your mood, as we express appreciation for the positive things we have decreased depression and stress,â said Crissy I-Wade, Mental Health Supervisor/Therapist for Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. âGratitude helps improve your outlook on life. Being grateful helps to improve your relationships, as you and the people around you will feel more loved, cared about, happier, and appreciative that they have you in their life. Practice gratitude and show appreciation every day to improve your mental health, physical health, and relationships and together our community will grow.â
