💚 Today is World Mental Health Day 💚

At Deaconess Abundant Life Services (DALS), we believe that true well-being means more than physical health — it’s about living life abundantly in mind, body, and spirit.

This year’s theme reminds us that mental health is a universal human right. Everyone deserves access to understanding, support, and care — whether that’s reaching out for help, finding moments of peace, or simply connecting with others.

If you or someone you know needs support, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) offers free resources and guidance:

Let’s continue to care for ourselves and one another — so every person has the opportunity to live fully, meaningfully, and abundantly. 💚
