December is National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving. Every decision behind the wheel matters—driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs puts lives at risk. This month, let’s commit to making responsible choices, planning safe rides, and protecting our communities from preventable tragedies.

The holidays are a wonderful time to start fresh. Before the season gets busy, take a moment to check your home for unused or expired medications — especially prescription opioids.

Safely disposing of them helps protect the people you love and reduces the risk of accidental poisonings or misuse. 💛

Let’s make safety part of our holiday traditions.

Parent University: Seasonal Depression

Please join us on Thursday, November 20th, at 6 pm for our Parent University Webinar being presented by Mr. Terrance Randolph, an Outreach Coordinator with NAMI Piedmont.

The webinar is about Seasonal Depression.

This presentation explores the impact of seasonal depression and its connection to mental health awareness, su***de prevention, and coping with grief. Participants will gain insight into how changes in seasons can affect mood, energy, and emotional well-being. This session will emphasize the importance of recognizing warning signs of depression, supporting loved ones who may be struggling, and accessing community and professional resources.

Through open discussion and practical strategies, we’ll explore healthy coping mechanisms, self-care techniques, and ways to foster resilience during difficult times. Special attention will be given to the role of grief and loss in seasonal emotional challenges, and how empathy and awareness can help create a supportive, stigma-free environment.

Learn how to recognize symptoms early, promote mental wellness, and be part of the movement toward hope, understanding, and su***de prevention.
