?? Meet Belen: Prioritizing Mental Wellness Through Faith and Family ?? At Southwest Therapeutics, we believe in the power of self-care and spiritual well-being. This week, we're featuring Belen, who shares how faith, family, and self-care play a vital role in her mental wellness: ?? “I prioritize my mental health by nurturing my faith, as I believe that a strong spiritual foundation leads to overall well-being. I strive to ensure I am spiritually and emotionally replenished, allowing me to serve others from a place of abundance. Self-care is essential to maintaining this balance. My family plays a pivotal role in my journey, providing support and inspiration. I view it as a privilege to first serve God, then my family, and allow that love and care to extend naturally to my patients.” Belen’s words remind us that taking care of ourselves—mentally, spiritually, and emotionally—allows us to care for others more effectively. ?? ?
