November is Native American Heritage Month!

We honor the strength, wisdom, and resilience of Native American and Indigenous communities. Their deep understanding of balance, connection, and healing reminds us that mental health is rooted in community, culture, and the land we live on.

This month, we celebrate Indigenous voices and traditions while acknowledging the importance of culturally informed and respectful mental health care for all.

Let’s take time to learn, listen, and uplift Indigenous voices — not just this month, but all year long. ❤️

👻 Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health This Halloween 🎃

Halloween is full of excitement — costumes, candy, and fun! But for some kids, it can also bring anxiety, sensory overload, or social stress. 💭

Here are a few ways to help your child enjoy the season while protecting their mental well-being:

🧡 Set Expectations Early: Talk about what to expect at events or while trick-or-treating.
💜 Let Them Choose: Give your child control over costumes or activities so they feel confident and safe.
🎃 Watch for Overstimulation: Crowds, noise, and sugar highs can be overwhelming — plan quiet breaks.
💬 Validate Their Feelings: If your child feels scared or anxious, reassure them that it’s okay to feel that way.
🌙 Focus on Fun, Not Perfection: The goal is joy, not picture-perfect moments.

A happy Halloween starts with a calm and supported mind. 💫

💙 Honoring Officer Pete Zajac 💙

Our hearts are heavy as we remember Farmington Police Officer Pete Zajac — a 15-year veteran who served his community with dedication, compassion, and integrity. For the past two years, Officer Zajac made a lasting impact as a School Resource Officer, building trust and connection with students and staff.

His passing is a heartbreaking reminder of the silent struggles so many first responders face. Behind the badge are human beings carrying the weight of others’ pain every day.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please know you are not alone.
📞 Call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline — help is available 24/7.

Let’s honor Officer Zajac’s legacy by continuing to care for and support those who protect and serve our communities. 💙

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜

At River Valley BHWC, we stand with survivors — those finding their voices, rebuilding their lives, and seeking safety and healing.

Domestic violence is not always physical. It can show up as emotional, psychological, financial, or verbal abuse — and it can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background.

This month, we raise awareness, support survivors, and advocate for a future free from violence.
You are not alone. Help is available.

📞 National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)

💜 Together, we can break the silence and end the cycle. 💜

🌙 Rest: Regulate Your Circadian Rhythm 🌙
Goal: Protect sleep quality and support hormonal balance.

* Dim the lights after 7PM
Use amber bulbs or candles to mimic natural dusk and signal your body that it’s time to unwind.

* No screens 30 minutes before bed
Swap scrolling for reading or journaling under soft light to calm your mind.

* Create a wind-down ritual
Sip herbal tea, reflect on gratitude for 5 minutes, and stretch gently to release the day.

* Stay consistent
Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day — yes, even on weekends — to align with your body’s natural rhythm.

Prioritize rest. Your mind, mood, and body will thank you.

🌞 Move: Energize the Body, Regulate the Mind

Movement isn’t just for physical health — it’s one of the most powerful tools to lift your mood, increase focus, and stabilize emotions. When you move, you naturally boost endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin, helping to combat sluggishness and those mid-day mood dips.

✨ Morning Light Ritual
Start your day with 20–30 minutes of movement under a bright light therapy lamp (10,000 lux). Try gentle yoga, stretching, or a walk on the treadmill facing the light.

☀️ Get Outside
Spend 15–20 minutes outdoors between 10am–2pm — even on cloudy days. Sunlight through your eyes signals your brain to balance melatonin and reset your internal rhythm.

💃 Micro-Movement Breaks
Set a reminder to move for 3 minutes every hour — do jumping jacks, squats, walking meditation, or dance to your favorite song. Small bursts of movement make a big impact on energy and mental clarity!

🧠 Move your body. Calm your mind. Boost your mood.

October is Mental Health Awareness Month

This month is a reminder that mental health is just as important as physical health. Too often, stigma creates silence—and silence can feel isolating. But you are not alone, and your struggles do not define you.

💙 Taking care of your mind is an act of strength, not weakness.
💙 Talking about mental health helps break down stigma.
💙 Reaching out for support is a powerful step toward healing.

At River Valley BHWC, we are here to walk alongside you with compassion, understanding, and care. Together, we can create a community where every person feels safe, supported, and valued.

✨ This October, let’s open conversations, lift each other up, and remind ourselves: your mental health matters. Always.

Gentle Reminder

You are not a broken person. 💙
You are a whole person carrying pieces of a broken world. 🌍✨

Sometimes the weight you feel isn’t a reflection of your worth—it’s the heaviness of everything around you. Take a breath. Rest when you need to. Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself; it’s about remembering you’ve been whole all along. 💫

"Female friendships are not a luxury. They’re a necessity."
Strong female bonds provide emotional safety, resilience, and joy. Having good friends in your life is so essential and important to your mental health.

Your circle can be your sanctuary.
👯‍♀️ Let’s normalize leaning on each other.

🌫️ Carrying the Weight 🌫️

Some days, it feels like I'm holding up the world for everyone around me — always being the strong one, the fixer, the support system. But behind the smiles and “I’m fine” texts… I feel empty.

It’s a strange kind of loneliness — being surrounded by people yet feeling completely unseen. Carrying the burden of your family, their expectations, their pain, their silence… it wears you down. Slowly. Quietly.

Mental health takes a hit when you're constantly pouring from an empty cup. But how do you ask for help when you're the one everyone depends on?

If you're feeling this too — I see you. You're not alone in this heaviness. 💔
Let’s normalize checking on the strong ones. Let’s talk about this.
