Today, we pause to reflect on the many things we’re grateful for—our clients, our community, and the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey to healing and hope.

This season reminds us that gratitude isn’t just a feeling—it’s a practice. It lives in the small moments of connection, the courage to keep going, and the kindness we show one another every day.

Whether today looks like a full table or a quiet moment of peace, we hope you feel seen, supported, and valued. From our hearts to yours, thank you for being part of the Spero family.

Wishing you a safe, warm, and gentle Thanksgiving.

“I’ve come to see gratitude as a radical act of self-love—especially in a world that often feels overwhelming.” – Megan Liverseed, Therapist at Spero Owatonna

In a time when the world moves fast and headlines feel heavy, Megan reminds us that slowing down to notice the small joys isn’t just comforting—it’s empowering.

From her work in mental health, she sees firsthand how even a simple moment of appreciation can spark healing, connection, and clarity.
It’s okay to take a breath.
It’s okay to reflect.
And it’s more than okay to celebrate what’s good.

What small joy are you grateful for today?

We see you, Rural America.

More than 60 million people live in rural communities across the U.S.—and at Spero, we’re honored to uplift your stories, your strength, and your spirit.

Today, we celebrate the resilience, hard work, and deep sense of community that make rural life so special. From the early mornings to the late nights, your dedication sustains families, towns, and entire industries.

But we also know rural life can come with unique mental health challenges—limited access to care, long drives to providers, agricultural stress, isolation, and the weight of “everyone knows everyone.” These realities can make it harder to seek support or feel seen.

That’s why we’re here.
To listen.
To learn.
To advocate.

And to remind you that your mental health matters just as much as anyone else’s.

At Spero, we’re committed to expanding access, reducing stigma, and walking alongside rural communities on the journey toward healing and hope.

“I’m eternally grateful for the job I get to do every day.”

Nicole Buck has been part of the Spero family for 8 years, serving as the Mental Health Practitioner Lead at Safe Harbor—our residential program. Every day, she helps instill hope and teach vital coping skills, including one of the most powerful tools we have: gratitude.

"Gratitude is something we need to reflect on—not just during the holidays, but all year long. It helps us pause, take a breath, and appreciate the little things.”

Working in mental health, Nicole witnesses incredible transformations. Her most fulfilling moments? Watching clients take brave steps into more supported and independent lives, filled with purpose, progress, and moments of joy.

“I hope more people will join us in reflecting on what they’re grateful for. Even small things matter.”

🇺🇸 This Veterans Day, Let’s Honor Service—with Support

Today, we remember the bravery, sacrifice, and strength of those who’ve served. But we also recognize that coming home doesn’t always mean the battle is over.

For many veterans, the invisible wounds of war—like PTSD, depression, and anxiety—can linger long after the uniform is folded away. These are real, valid struggles. And they deserve real, compassionate care.

This Veterans Day, let’s go beyond gratitude.
✅ Let’s advocate for mental health support.
✅ Let’s check in on our veterans.
✅ Let’s make space for their stories—without judgment.

To every veteran: You are seen. You are valued. And you don’t have to carry it alone.
