It’s Lego day!

Whether you played with Legos as a kid, play with them as an adult or play with them with your own kids, you’re never too old to enjoy picking up those bricks and crafting designs.

This day is not only a celebration of the simple Lego bricks that have grown into a culturally celebrated toy. It’s also a day to express your own creativity through the toys we all grew up on.

January is National Staying Health Month.

This is all about keeping up with healthy options for yourself that don’t only rely on eating healthy. Health is also about self care, mental health, and practicing healthy behaviors.

You can do this as simple as hydrating more often with water. Make it a more common drink to turn to during lunch and dinner or throughout the day.

Spending time outdoors. Although it’s cold out, getting in the habit of running, cycling, or going on casual walks is great for your mental health and can provide that a daily reset for yourself.

Creating a healthy sleeping schedule and moderating that time sitting down is important and can help your energy levels as well as blood flow.

Your health is important and you should make it a priority this year.

If you have questions or are looking for additional family support, you can also visit Oregon Family Support Network at http://ofsn.org or call the Parent Warmline at 1-833-732-2467.

“When things don’t work out, there is no blame or shame, only understanding and support. Our family has learned that recovery is possible, and that learning and unlearning are part of the
journey.

By meeting families where they are, supporting basic needs like housing, and truly listening to what families want and need, real change can happen. Our story shows how the right support
at the right time can help families move forward with hope, stability, and strength”

At Oregon Family Support Network, our Family Support Specialists are there to listen without judgment, share resources that work in the real world, and help families build confidence to advocate for their children.

Have a story you want to share your own story of resilience and connection, we’d love to hear from you. Visit ofsn.org to connect with a Family Support Specialist or share your story today.

It’s Opposite Day. Or is it?

Some say it’s celebrated January 7th, others believe it’s every month on the 25th.

We agree with the experts who say it’s today.

Or maybe it’s the opposite of what we say.

Be silly and use today to get out of your comfort zone and do something new that you normally wouldn’t do, as long as it’s healthy and safe, of course.

Today is about pausing and making yourself a priority.

Take time to care for yourself in ways that feel supportive and realistic. Set boundaries, and give yourself permission to say no to things that would leave you feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

Allow yourself to rest. Take a few quiet moments, try a short meditation, or spend time on something that brings you joy or curiosity. Even small acts of self care matter.

You do not have to do this alone. Oregon Family Support Network offers resources and peer support to help parents care for their own wellbeing as they care for their families.

Experiencing an emergency can be stressful and overwhelming. Having comfort and support during and after an emergency can help people feel grounded as they move through a difficult or traumatic experience.

There are several simple ways you can support someone after an emergency:

Offer your condolences and let them know you are there for them. This may mean being someone they can talk to or simply sitting with them so they are not alone.

Listen with care and validate their feelings. Giving someone space to share their experience helps them feel heard, understood, and supported.

Stay calm during the interaction. A calm presence can help someone feel safer and better able to process their emotions.

These small acts of support can make a meaningful difference and remind someone that they are not alone.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or need someone to talk to, support is available. You can call the Oregon Family Support Network Parent Warmline at 1-833-732-2467 for understanding, connection, and support, or visit http://ofsn.org to find additional resources.

People have been called unpleasant names for for an array of things. While some people might consider name-calling harmless fun, the victims of the name-calling can be left with feeling ashamed, bullied, and insecure.

These feelings can create emotionally distressing environments, causing the victim to have a lower self-esteem and becoming distant.

No Name-Calling Week, is a celebration of kindness. It’s significance lies with not just celebrating acts of kindness, but putting to practice kindness in all actions.

By practicing kindness in every day actions and lifting up those who are bullied, we can work to get rid of name-calling.

If your child is being bullied and you are looking for someone to talk to, support is available. You can call the Oregon Family Support Network Parent Warmline at 1-833-732-2467 for understanding, connection, and support or visit ofsn.org to find additional resources.

Sweatpants day is upon us.

Get comfy and use this as a excuse to let yourself relax. Throw on those sweatpants and watch a movie, cuddle up on the couch and enjoy the day, or settle in the evening when you get home from work.

Sweatpants are more than just getting comfy, it’s about letting yourself have a moment for you. So, throw those pants on and celebrate yourself.

It’s Take a Walk Day.

This day is all about getting outside and moving your body in ways that support your health and mental well-being.

Enjoy the fresh winter air.
Take a walk around your block or visit a local park.

Feeling adventurous? Explore a new trail or hiking spot.

And if today feels heavier than expected, remember you do not have to carry it alone. The Oregon Family Support Network Parent Warmline is available for understanding, connection, and support at 1-833-732-2467.

Whatever your reason, invite your family along and enjoy being out and about together today. Do it for yourself and for one another.

Today, we honor Martin Luther King Jr. and his belief in the power of community. His compassion and vision continue to inspire us as we work toward an equitable mental health support system where all families are valued and supported.

As parents and caregivers of children with mental health challenges, your advocacy, perseverance, and love reflect the very principles Dr. King stood for. Together, we can continue building a world where every child is seen, heard, and supported.

It’s Sunday, and we’re almost through the first month of 2026.

Take a moment to reflect on what you have already accomplished. Notice the small, stress-free moments. Give yourself permission to pause and celebrate.

Play outside with your family.

Listen to the wind sway, the birds sing, or the rain fall.

Rest and appreciate what you have done, where you are headed, and what you want more of in the days ahead.

Today is International We Are Not Broken Day. This day was created to raise awareness that, despite what society may suggest, people with lived experience of physical or emotional trauma, mental illness, or invisible disabilities are not broken. They are people all around us. They are our family members, friends, neighbors, and community partners.

The emphasis on the word broken is intentional. It is about reclaiming the word and rejecting the idea that trauma or illness defines a person. It does not. Each person is defined by their individuality, strengths, and lived experience.

This day is about acknowledging and celebrating our differences. It is also a reminder of our shared responsibility to end harmful thinking that suggests there is something inherently wrong with someone because they have experienced trauma or live with a mental health condition or disability.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or need someone to talk to, support is available. You can call the Oregon Family Support Network Parent Warmline at 1-833-732-2467 for understanding, connection, and support, or visit the OFSN website to find additional resources.
