Local Community Well-being &
Needs Highlights

From 2023 Snohomish County PIHC Health and Well-being Monitor.

Blog Post.

Physical Health Is Not Only About Diet and Exercise.
This year Physical Health was the most impactful indicator on our county’s overall well-being score. Not surprisingly, results showed that exercise greatly impacts our physical health satisfaction as well as having a sense of purpose and meaning. Stress is also a factor in satisfaction levels with the current state of physical health. Physical health is strongly related to multiple areas that impact our stress levels; our satisfaction with work or job, financial security, and ability to meet basic needs.
 
Look for a variety of local resources to support Physical Health at www.livewelllocal.org

Suicide Prevention Month

September is suicide prevention month where we bring awareness to a very important topic. It can be uncomfortable to talk about suicide but reaching out for help or checking in with our friends and families can avoid devastating outcomes. Don’t be afraid to reach out if you or someone you know needs help. Learning all you can about mental health is an important first step. Resources are available for your emotional wellbeing.
