During Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is reminding everyone about the importance of resiliency and hope, two protective factors toward maintaining health and wellness. Hope promotes a general positive outlook and resiliency is the ability to recover and continue in the face of adversity. Below are some ideas to maintain your health and wellness:

-Build hope by starting each day in a positive way to have an impact on your mood. You can use a daily mantra or think of three to five things for which you are grateful.
-Keep an optimistic outlook and think about things you are looking forward to in the future.
-Build a future focus and determine your pathway to get there.
-Build resiliency by being flexible, adaptable and adjusting during unpredictable times. Think of those times and circumstances as being a learning experience or a challenge instead of difficult or a problem.
-Keep your perspective by looking at things in a broader context.
-Make connections with other people. Be open to assisting others and accepting help and support when needed.

Always remember that the National Su***de Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255) is available 24/7 for anyone experiencing thoughts of su***de. Learn important information about helping others, recognizing warning signs, and available resources about su***de prevention on the HHSC Su***de Prevention webpage:

Learning to adjust and cope with changes the current pandemic has caused has been difficult for us all! However, imagine you didn't have or know the words to express how you are feeling and you could be easily overwhelmed. When kids are overwhelmed they may cry, get mad or act out because they don't like how the negative emotions feel. When we validate what our loved ones are feeling, it fosters connection, intimacy and safety.
Here are some simple phrases which make space for uncomfortable feelings.
