TAMPA (Bloom) – Studies show that one in five adults live with a mental health condition and that women are affected more than men. As conversations surrounding mental health have increased, leadership consultant Monica Maybank talks with Gayle Guyardo, host of the nationally syndicated health and wellness show, Bloom, about how to navigate mental health in today’s society.

Maybank discusses how to navigate mental health with children, especially teenagers. She says pulling away from devices, including social media, can play a key role in addressing mental health issues.

She also says that young adults are learning how to navigate today’s society and the challenges facing them. Maybank suggests having conversations over dinner rather than spending time on phones while eating.

Additionally, Maybank says setting boundaries and practicing mindfulness plays a key role in improving mental health.
