Jill McColl, MSW.

Written By Sofia Rizzo

Physical health and mental health go hand in hand! They are not mutually exclusive of one another, and both are equally important to pay attention to and work on, each and every day.

The last few months have been especially challenging for folks - teens included! I chatted with Jillian McColl, MSW., about some tips and tricks when focusing on mental health.

We chatted about:

The importance of routine

Rainbow Scheduling

The "thoughts - feelings - behaviours" triangle

And so much more.

Mental health is a life long journey. We're not perfect. Having conversations like these make the process a little bit easier. I thoroughly enjoyed my chat with Jill, and I hope you do, too.
