SELF-CARE

· An important part of our mental health is self-care. Our CHWs represent our communities' agricultural workers, refugees and undocumented people; their needs are endless, and our efforts to support our communities overwhelmed and most of the time frustrated. Therefore, CHWCMR have some programs dedicated to support our CHWs to take care of their own mental health, doing outside activities.

Self-care has been defined as the process of taking care of oneself with behaviors that promote health and active management of illness when it occurs.

The self-care movement in ancient Greece, and care are of oneself and loved ones has been shown to exist since human beings appeared on earth. Self-care remains a primary form of healthcare worldwide.
