Treat yo'self this October with
the Self-Care Challenge

The North Carolina Community Action Association is challenging everyone to make self-care a priority this fall by joining its 31-day Self-Care Challenge.

​

The Self-Care Challenge is a four-week educational and experimental challenge to help participants learn more about self-care and ways to practice it. Each day of the challenge will focus on one of the seven self-care categories: emotional, practical, mental, physical, social, spiritual and professional. Daily activities will include resources related to that day’s topic like a self-care activity and tips to help amp current self-care routines. Activities can be completed individually or in small groups.

​

After enduring the pandemic for nearly two years now, many are drained and tired of the emotional turmoil and uncertainty. Self-care has been effective at maintaining mental and physical balance during hard times.
