January is Mental Wellness Month. According to the Global Wellness Institute, “Mental wellness is an internal resource that helps us think, feel, connect, and function; it is an active process that helps us to build resilience, grow, and flourish.”
In the Grounded in Science Newsletter, we seek to offer you a balance of research news and well-being insights, inviting you to shift your attention towards your own well-being and the wellness of our incredible Usher syndrome community. The “On Well-Being” series is for you, by you.
