8 Dimensions of Wellness
As Mental Health Month comes to a close, join us in making a commitment to fostering the different dimensions of wellness in your life throughout the year. Remember to aim for balance and recognize the natural ups and downs. As some areas thrive, it’s normal for others to feel as if they are lagging. Striving for perfection in all areas, at all times, can lead to stress and burn-out. It’s important to be kind to yourself! Embrace your unique journey and let self-compassion guide your way. Together, we can create a community where wellness flourishes, one step at a time.

Remembering Charlotte Östman
It is with deep sadness that The Mental Health Association of Westchester announces the passing of Charlotte Ostman, our beloved Chief Executive Officer.
Under Charlotte’s leadership during the past six years, MHA and the community have come to respect and love her for her deeply felt commitment to the work, for her compassion and for her connection to the people we serve and to our staff.
