ST JAMES, Jamaica — Women are being encouraged to prioritise their mental health to manage daily stress, build resilience, and support their overall wellness.

National Council on Drug Abuse (NCDA) St James Parish Coordinator, Suzanne Brown, made the call, while conducting a session during the Social Development Commission (SDC) Women’s Empowerment and Opportunities Fair on Thursday at the Montego Bay Cultural Centre in Montego Bay.

The session included a wellness wheel exercise to assess areas of the participants’ lives, such as physical activity, nutrition, hydration, sleep, work-life balance, and stress management.
