To most of us Michiganders the Stay Safe, Stay Home order isn't getting any easier and can be challenging for many at times. Now more then ever, it's important to take care of ourselves and one another while we do our part to stay home and stay safe. Governor Whitmer has teamed up with Headspace to help us do just that.

Check out this website at https://www.headspace.com/MI for a special collection of meditation, sleep and movement exercises that are designed to help us keep a strong and healthy mind in the midst of this global health crisis. We will get through this together.
