🍁 November is a Time to Recharge 🍁

As the days get shorter and schedules get busier, remember to pause and care for yourself. Self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s part of maintaining good mental health. Take time to rest, reflect, and reconnect with what brings you peace.

The first week of November is International Stress Awareness Week! Stress can greatly affect both your mental and physical health, so it is important to learn about stress and healthy ways to deal with it.

Practicing mindfulness, engaging in exercise, or finding a hobby that you enjoy are all great ways to reduce stress.

Take a moment to check in with yourself today 💙

💙 In honor of Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, we invite you to pause and check in with yourself.
Small conversations—whether with yourself or others—can build connection, spark empathy, and break down barriers to mental health.

This month, let’s make intentional connection a habit. After checking in with yourself, ask: Who else can I check in on today?
