WHAT IS SELF - CARE?

Sanjii Johnigan

Samaritan Behavioral Health

"This is what self-care means to me at this stage in my life. I believe that as I grow and evolve, the definition will do the same!"

Michelle Johnson

UMADAOP of Dayton

"Self-Care is a place where being you is comfortable, at peace and whole. Where being YOU is enough!"

Nina Rains

Ohio State University

"Self-care is spending time in nature and removing myself from the stresses of everyday life just to breathe, clear my head and refocus."

Ralph Davis

YWCA of Dayton

"Self-care increases your own inner peace and ability to relate to self and others in a healthy manner."

Pat Holmes

Ohio State University - Montgomery County Extension

"Self-care is mindfully taking a “gratitude” moment to remind myself of things for which I’m grateful."

Asia Williams

Public Health Dayton & Montgomery County

"Self-Care is achieving a peaceful state of mind."

Stacey Whittaker

Montgomery County Educational Service Center

"Self-Care is taking care of my physical, social, spiritual and emotional self. It is talking to a best friend, walking, or sitting outside in the sun!"

Janece Warfield

Wright State University

"Self-care is the ability to refill and refuel oneself in healthy ways. It is maintaining a life that is rich with meaning and gratification outside the workplace."
