🧠Fresh Friday Tip 🧠
If emotions feel overwhelming, try naming them.
“I feel stressed,” “I feel disappointed,” or “I feel anxious.”

Putting words to feelings can reduce their intensity and help you respond with care rather than reaction. 💙 It also opens the door for communication, helping others better understand what you’re experiencing.

🤝 Looking for additional support to manage emotions or stress in your life?
Group therapy classes offered through the Behavioral Health Clinic help participants learn how to process emotions, develop healthier thought patterns, and build behaviors that support overall well-being.

💙 January is Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month 💙

Substance use disorders (SUDs) can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, background, or income. Like diabetes, asthma, or arthritis, SUDs are chronic medical conditions that deserve compassionate, evidence-based care.

At Kaniksu Community Health, we treat substance use disorders the same way we treat any other health condition- with dignity, individualized care, and long-term support. 🌱

🩺 Our Substance Use Disorder Services (SUDS) include:
• Outpatient treatment for drug and alcohol use disorders
• Individual and group therapy
• Collaboration with your in-house primary care team
• Integrated care addressing behavioral, physical, and social needs

Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all, and it isn’t a journey anyone has to walk alone. Whether substance use is mild, moderate, or severe, we stay alongside individuals and their loved ones, adapting care as needs change. 🤝

🧠 Mindful Minute Monday 🧠
Our inner dialogue has a powerful influence on how we feel, respond, and move through the world. Taking a moment to notice your thoughts especially during stress) can help you understand what’s supporting you and what might be holding you back. 🌱

Awareness is often the first step toward change. When we slow down and notice our patterns, we create space to build healthier responses and coping tools over time.

🤝 If you’re looking for additional support, Kaniksu Community Health offers Behavioral Health group therapy classes designed to help participants develop coping skills, identify triggers, and practice healthier ways to respond—all in a supportive, guided environment.

🤔💬 Thinking about group therapy but feeling unsure?
That’s completely normal. 💛

Many people worry about sharing in a group, being judged, or feeling uncomfortable at first. What often surprises them is that group therapy is a supportive, respectful space where listening is just as valuable as speaking, and participation happens at your own pace.

Over time, many participants find that the benefits outweigh the concerns:
✨ Realizing you’re not alone
🛠️ Learning practical coping tools
🤗 Gaining encouragement, accountability, and connection
💬 Feeling understood without judgment

🧠💙 Behavioral Health group therapy classes are available at Kaniksu Community Health, guided by trained professionals who prioritize safety, respect, and confidentiality.
