💜Parents, this one is for you. We see you! 💜

Parenting is rewarding, but it can also test your mental health. To help with those "big emotion" days, we’re sharing a great resource from CHOC on validating your child’s feelings in a way that is gentle and respectful to both of you.

🔗 Read the 6 steps here: https://health.choc.org/how-to-validate-your-childs-feelings-six-steps-for-parents-and-caregivers/

Remember: You don’t have to do this alone. We encourage parents and caregivers to join the Northern Lights Clubhouse! Membership is 100% FREE and gives you a supportive community to decompress, connect, and prioritize your own wellness.

At Northern Lights Clubhouse, we understand that the winter months can feel heavy. We believe no one should have to navigate their mental health journey alone. ❄️

By becoming a member, you gain more than just a schedule; you gain a community. From weekly lunches and community check-ins to art days, meditation, and book club, we offer a space to connect and thrive.

While we focus on building wellness together, we also know that some days are harder than others. If you find yourself in a mental health crisis, NAMI recommends these immediate steps:

Call or Text 988: Reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline 24/7.

Assess the Situation: If there is immediate physical danger, call 911 and ask for a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) officer.

Connect with Support: Reach out to a trusted friend or use the Crisis Text Line (Text HOME to 741741).

Whether you need a weekly book club or a helping hand through a dark moment, we are here for you. Learn more here 👉 https://wellbeingdevelopment.org/

"Navigating a Mental Health Crisis: A NAMI Resource Guide for Those Experiencing a Mental Health Emergency" (Crisis Guide) provides important, potentially life-saving information for people experiencing mental health crises and their loved ones.
