For many Americans, school has never been a walk in the park. This week’s Watch recognizes American Education Week and spotlights the role mental health plays in helping kids reach graduation. As we enter the holidays with gratitude for the present and awareness of how it shapes what comes next, we’re reminded that the foundations we build today create the futures we’ll live in tomorrow.

From supporting student mental health to addressing high blood pressure in Black communities, rebuilding trust in public media, and preventing measles across the Americas—each story shows how small steps now can strengthen tomorrow’s wellbeing.

Reducing stress and strengthening community care are key parts of cancer awareness and prevention.

Chronic stress doesn’t just affect the mind, it impacts your body, too. New data from KFF shows that prolonged “weathering” from chronic stress contributes to higher cancer mortality rates in Black communities, even when diagnosis rates are the same.

Building awareness and advocacy helps reduce stress at its roots, tackling inequity before it takes its toll. reminds us that closing the gap means thinking beyond the illness and evaluating the inequity in the systems. 💛

Chronic stress shapes both the body and the future.
Our bodies remember the past — the stress, the struggle, and the strength. These effects, amplified by systemic oppression, are what Dr. Arline Geronimus calls “weathering.”

This Stress Awareness Day, we pause with gratitude for the resilience that’s carried us this far — and use what we’ve learned to imagine a healthier future.

Research from Dr. Arline Geronimus and recent studies on weathering continue to shed light on how chronic stress impacts health. Read more in this week’s linked articles — The New York Times and the National Library of Medicine (link in bio).

This week’s Watch connects two essentials for thriving communities: food and democracy. 🍎 As SNAP benefits pause, DoorDash, GoPuff, and local food banks are delivering relief—proof that when systems falter, people step up.

With Election Day upon us, we remember that voting is how we protect those same systems for the future. From local mayoral races to national policies, every ballot shapes access to food, healthcare, and wellbeing. 🗳️
Together, we’re weathering change—with care, action, and connection. 💛

World Stroke Day, 10/29:
Viral infections — including COVID-19 — are now linked to higher and earlier stroke risk, even in younger adults. Long COVID can trigger ongoing heart inflammation that raises long-term cardiac danger.

Prevention starts now! Stay vaccinated, reduce reinfections, and get checked if you have chest pain, fatigue, brain fog, or shortness of breath.

10/27/2025

This week’s Watch is about memory, care, and future-building.
From the sacred traditions of Día de los Mu***os and the Celtic roots of Halloween, to the real stakes of early mammograms, Long COVID in kids, and what it takes to truly support trans youth — we’re looking at how honoring the past shapes how we show up now.

Because remembrance isn’t passive — it’s a call to protect, advocate, and give forward. 🕯️💛
