❄️Mental Health Care During a Winter Storm ❄️

• Safety comes first—prepare as much as you can ahead of time.
• Strong emotions: irritability, nervousness, fear, and more are normal during storms, so be gentle with yourself and others.
• Keep a simple routine if you can—meals, sleep, gentle movement
• Limit doom-scrolling to reduce anxiety.
• Stay connected to loved ones with a quick text or call.
• Use comfort and grounding tools to lower stress: deep breaths, warm drinks, music.
• Lower your expectations—rest is productive.
• Reach out for support if things feel overwhelming.

Remember, you can call or text 988 anytime for crisis mental health support.

If these cold winter days are bringing your spirits down, remember to look for moments of joy and sunshine within yourself. Listen to your favorite song. Let yourself daydream about summer vacations past and future. Sit beside a sunny window and enjoy a glass of iced tea. Remember how much your mindset impacts your mental health--and that summer's never far away.
