PSI BE WELL NEWSLETTER ISSUE 05 / MAY 2026 WWW.HEALTHYWAY-PSI.COM MENTAL HEALTH MONTH Breaking Down the Mental Health Stigma May is Mental Health Month, a time to raise awareness and support for mental health. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), more than 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness each year. Despite the prevalence of illnesses and increasing recognition of mental health as a critical component of overall well- being, stigma remains a significant barrier to receiving treatment and support. NAMI reports that roughly half (52%) of adults with a mental illness go without treatment. The fear of judgment and discrimination often prevents individuals from seeking help. Increasing education and open conversations are key to reducing stigma and building a more supportive, compassionate society. Here are some tips for helping break the silence: Educate yourself and others about mental health and substance use disorders to better understand symptoms, treatments, and reduce misconceptions. Talk openly to normalize conversations and create a safe, judgment-free space for sharing and support. Use respectful, person-first language to avoid stigma and focus on the individual. Encou rage equal treatment of physical and mental health conditions. Speak up and offer support if someone may be struggling, helping guide them toward care. Taking these steps helps reduce stigma and fosters a more inclusive, supportive environment. Be Well Spotlight Message from the Health Coach Step into spring with mindful movement.

M A Y 2 0 2 6 P S I B E W E L L N E W S L E T T E R Skin Cancer Awareness & Prevention Tips Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. In fact, 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by age 70, and more people are diagnosed with it annually than all other cancers combined. Despite how widespread it is, skin cancer is also one of the most treatable cancers when detected early—making awareness, prevention, and early detection especially important. Here are some essential tips that may help you protect your skin and eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays: Cycling Ingredients Dressing: ¼ cup good extra-virgin olive oil ¼ cup balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed juice 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons maple syrup ½ teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1 garlic clove, grated Salad: 2 large cooked rotisserie chicken breasts, skin removed 4 cups broccoli florets, stems removed 1 large cosmic crisp or honey crisp apple, cored and diced small ½ cup roasted and salted shelled sunflower seeds 1 cup shredded carrot, about 1 large carrot 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled 1 cup chopped fresh herb (try a blend of cilantro, parsley, and dill) Salt and pepper, as needed Directions 1. In a small bowl, add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon, maple syrup, kosher salt, pepper, and garlic. Whisk until smooth and emulsified. 2. In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the roasted chicken breasts. Using a hand mixer, or the paddle attachment on a stand mixer, mix the chicken on low. Continue to mix until the chicken is very well shredded. Set aside. 3. Chop the broccoli florets very, very small. Add to the bowl with the chicken and add the apple, sunflower seeds, carrots, half of the goat cheese, and the vinaigrette. Using tongs, mix very well until combined and the chicken and veggies soak up the vinaigrette. 4. Add the remaining goat cheese and the herbs and toss once more to combine. Serve & enjoy! Chicken & Broccoli Meal Prep Salad Apply sunscreen generously . Use broad- spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours or after sweating or swimming. Wear protective clothing. Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, and wide-brimmed hats for sun protection. For added safety, choose clothing with a UPF of 30 or higher. Consider sunglasses with UV protection. Choose UV- blocking sunglasses, preferably wraparound styles, for maximum eye protection from harmful rays. Seek shade. Limit sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., to greatly reduce UV exposure. SPF Limiting sun exposure and avoiding sunburn are the best ways to prevent skin cancer. Check your skin regularly and see a doctor for annual preventive skin cancer screenings. Earn Wellness Points & peace of mind.

M A Y 2 0 2 6 M E N T A L H E A L T H M I N U T E Mental Health Minute Spring Into Self-care Self-care for mental health is deeply personal. It involves intentionally choosing activities that support emotional balance, resilience and overall well-being. The National Institute of Mental Health defines self-care as taking time to do things that help you live well and improve both your mental and physical health. Spring, a season associated with renewal and growth, offers a natural opportunity to refresh your mental health routines as days grow longer and outdoor access increases. Because self-care looks different for everyone, a bit of experimentation is often helpful. Consider these spring-inspired ideas: • Embrace outdoor movement. • Practice mindfulness or meditation. • Declutter your space. • Limit screen time. • Express creativity through crafts, writing, or other hobbies. Spring self-care is a journey, not a checklist. Reach out to a trained mental health professional if you or someone you love is struggling. Recognizing Mental Health Month Mental Health Month, observed each May, is a time to recognize the importance of mental well-being, reduce stigma and encourage open conversations. It reminds us that mental health is a vital part of overall health. Nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults experiences a mental illness each year, yet only about half receive treatment. This highlights the need for greater awareness, education and access to support—and reinforces that seeking help is both normal and essential. One way to observe the month is by prioritizing your own well-being. Simple habits like setting boundaries, practicing mindfulness, staying active and taking breaks can build resilience over time. It’s also a chance to learn more, share resources and support others. Whether through conversation, education or community involvement, every action helps reduce stigma and expand access to care. Most importantly, Mental Health Month reminds us that reaching out for help is a sign of strength—and an important step toward healing.
