Actions most needed to help mental health promotion flourish include actions to help ourselves flourish. This session reinforced the importance of self-care and offered self-care options for participants to try, including some that could be brought into participants’ own settings. Participants were invited to choose a breakout room to participate in, or to consider something else that grounds and centers them.

Key messages
