May is Mental Health Month.

It can feel easy to push our own needs to the side when we have a lot to do or we are facing mental health challenges. Making time for ourselves is essential to our well-being.

Mental Health America has a worksheet to help better understand what is holding you back from taking time for yourself. The worksheet prompts you to write out thoughts that you feel prevent you from taking time for self-care.

The Texas Workforce Commission encourages Texans to use extreme caution on social media amid an increase in identity theft.

Social networking sites often expose full names, addresses, birthdays and other information valuable to scammers. Over the last few months, scammers have created multiple Texas Workforce Commission pages to solicit private information from people applying for unemployment benefits. The agency says it never conducts business on soical media.

Id anyone claiming to represent the agency contacts you asking for private information, do not respond. You should only conduct business thorugh Texas Workforce Commission’s official unemployment portal or phone number.

If you believe you have been the victim of identity theft, report it here.
