Happy Holidays from Aris Clinic!

As we reflect on the past year, we are grateful for the opportunity to support kids, teens, and families in our community as they build resilience, strengthen well-being, and grow in their mental health journey. During this holiday season, we encourage you to prioritize self-care, nurture meaningful connections, and make space for moments of calm and joy.

Wishing you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, and hopeful holiday season!

This holiday season, Aris Clinic encourages you to take a moment for yourself and step outside. Spending time in nature — whether it’s at a park, in the woods, or even in your own backyard — can have a calming effect on your mind and body.

Fresh air combined with movement is one of the simplest ways to boost your mental health and well-being. So, breathe deeply, soak in the scenery, and let the outdoors help you relax, reset, and recharge.

This World Kindness Day 🌎💛, let’s remember that kindness begins with ourselves. Practicing self-compassion helps us recharge and better support those around us. Here are a few ways to be kind to yourself today:

- Take a few deep breaths and enjoy a quiet moment.
- Speak to yourself with encouragement and understanding.
- Set aside time for something you love, just for you.

At Aris Clinic, we believe self-kindness is a vital part of mental well-being. Let’s spread kindness within and beyond! 💚

October is National Bullying Prevention Month

At Aris Clinic, we believe every child and teen deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued. Bullying can have lasting effects on mental health, but together, we can create communities that stand against it.

Encourage kindness, speak up, and support one another. Every small action makes a difference. 💙
