Today, we honor and thank all who have served our country. At The Encompassing Center, we recognize that service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off β€” and neither should support. Mental health is part of honoring our veterans.

Veterans remind us of the power of resilience, courage, and connection. Their strength inspires us to continue building communities of care β€” where healing is shared, and no one walks alone. πŸ’›

As we reflect today, let’s show gratitude not only through words, but through action: by checking in, reaching out, and reminding someone that support is always within reach.

Together, we heal. Together, we honor. 🌿

πŸ’— October is Breast Cancer Awareness and Domestic Violence Awareness Month. πŸ’œ

Early detection saves lives β€” about 66% of breast cancer cases are caught early, when treatment is most effective. Since 1989, death rates have dropped 44% thanks to increased awareness, screenings, and care. Healthy choices like regular check-ups, balanced nutrition, and physical activity can also make a difference.

At the same time, we must stand against domestic violence. One in four women will experience it in their lifetime, with young women 18–34 at highest risk. Domestic violence remains the leading cause of injury to women β€” but open conversations, community support, and resources can save lives.

Together, let’s promote healing, safety, and hope for all. πŸ’•

πŸ’œ October is a time to honor both strength and survival. Whether it is the fight against breast cancer or the courage to heal from violence, every story of resilience matters. Healing takes time, and hope grows stronger with every voice raised and every life touched.

Let us continue to stand together for awareness, compassion, and a future where everyone feels safe, supported, and seen. 🌸
