March 5th is Dissociative Identity Disorder Awareness Day!

DID is a trauma-related dissociative disorder, most often connected to overwhelming experiences in early life. Dissociation is the brain’s way of protecting someone when stress or trauma feels too much to process. For some people, that dissociation can become more complex over time.

Dissociation can look like:
• Gaps in memory (time loss)
• Feeling detached from yourself or your surroundings (like you’re watching life from the outside)
• Identity confusion or feeling “not like yourself”
• Changes in behavior, voice, or preferences that feel hard to explain
• Intense emotional shifts, especially under stress

It’s also important to know: dissociation exists on a spectrum. Many people experience milder forms, like zoning out, and anyone experiencing distressing symptoms deserves support and understanding. Not stigma!

If you’re struggling with dissociation, help is available, and healing is possible with trauma-informed care.

Sleep Awareness Week is a great reminder that sleep and mental health are deeply connected. When sleep suffers, our ability to regulate emotions, manage stress, and think clearly often suffers too, and it can quickly become a cycle with anxiety or depression.

If you’ve been feeling more overwhelmed, irritable, anxious, or low lately, it may be worth looking at your sleep habits. Start small: keep a consistent wake time, get morning light, and build a short wind-down routine at night.

And if sleep issues are persistent or impacting your daily life, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Reaching our for support can make a big difference.

March 2nd is World Teen Mental Wellness Day!

Teen mental health doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it shows up as irritability, shutting down, or a simple “I’m fine”.

Here are a few signs to look out for:
• Pulling away from friends/family
• Big changes in sleep, appetite, or grades
• Frequent headaches/stomachaches
• Increased anxiety, panic, or constant overwhelm
• Losing interest in things they used to enjoy
• Risky behavior or substance use
• Talking about feeling hopeless or like a burden

If you’re a teen reading this...you don’t have to have the “perfect words” to reach out! Start with one person you trust.

If you’re in crisis or worried about immediate safety, call/text 988 for 24/7 support!

February 23rd–March 1st is Eating Disorders Awareness Week!

Eating disorders are serious, treatable mental health conditions, not a “choice” or a phase.

Eating disorders can affect anyone, any age, gender, body size, or background, and often show up alongside anxiety, depression, OCD, or trauma. They’re also not always obvious from the outside.

Common warning signs may include:
• Obsessive thoughts about food, weight, or exercise
• Skipping meals, strict rules around eating, or guilt/shame after eating
• Bingeing, purging, or frequent “compensating” behaviors
• Avoiding social meals, increased isolation, mood changes
• Dizziness, fatigue, sleep issues, or noticeable changes in focus/energy

If you or someone you love is struggling, support is available, and you don't have to navigate this alone!
