Mental Health Brief #2 - Dr. Noah Lazer

Improve your Mood

Improve your mood – plan an activity you enjoy and challenge negative thinking

The Opening Remarks mental health briefs provide Ontario lawyers with wellness tips and resources from a variety of individuals speaking in their own capacity. The briefs are not a substitute for professional care. If you are in crisis, we encourage you to urgently contact a mental health service provider.
