Great ideas for conversations or journal prompts to wrap up this last month of 2025!

We’ve curated a selection of interesting, fun, and thoughtful conversation topics for the whole month of December.

Waiting for you as a printable, you can have these conversations with a variety of different people. Discuss one topic a day, and see what interesting and unique conversations you can ask. Ask them at the family dinner table, message them to friends, or chat with your significant other about them.

It’s Thanksgiving, but we know that it can be hard to feel grateful some days.

If practicing gratitude feels hard today, remember that if all you can feel grateful for is the next moment, that’s enough.

Take it moment by moment. 🍂

As we move into the holiday season, we recognize that this time can be both joyful and challenging. If you or someone you know is struggling, please remember that you are not alone. Let’s continue to check in on one another, offer kindness, and foster hope.

The holiday season can be a difficult and stressful time. That's why it's so important to stop and listen to your own needs, too.

Here are some ways to take care of yourself one small way each day: samhsa.gov/find-support/how-to-cope

As we gather together for Thanksgiving, we are reminded of the profound power of gratitude, connection, and hope. On behalf of everyone at Kansas Consumer Advisory Council, we wish you a peaceful, healthy, and meaningful Thanksgiving. Thank you for being part of our community and for believing in the importance of mental health and peer support!

As part of our recent board meeting, we asked individuals to share what they were thankful for. Here is what they had to say ❤️

Feel free to share in the comments - what are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
