May is Mental Health Awareness Month, the perfect time to check in with HII Employees Reach Out Program (HERO) for support in navigating life’s changes and challenges. 

Life may feel busy with celebrations, milestones and transitions, but supporting your social and physical health doesn’t have to be complicated.  

Social health and physical health are deeply connected and can strengthen each other. Social interaction builds belonging, while physical activity boosts mood, energy and mental clarity.  

When you combine the two, such as walking with a coworker, joining a class or participating in team sports, you are strengtheninemotional stability and overall resilience.
