Mental Health Resources Day Recap

DAISY’s Book Club
Wonder Drug by Stephen Trzeciak and Anthony Mazzarelli explains how helping others is scientifically proven to be beneficial for a myriad of reasons. This book likens volunteering to a “wonder drug” – as it has a wide variety of benefits and no known side effects! Volunteering may cause happiness, fulfillment, joy, and increased social satisfaction. Whether you’re in a volunteer role at a non-profit, helping out a friend, or finding ways to help the community on your own, helping others also helps YOU!
Updates in the Mental Health Sphere and DAISY’s World
New research suggests that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may be beneficial in the treatment of eating disorders.
A study out of Spain found that greater physical fitness, in particular having better aerobic endurance, may be correlated with better self esteem!
