Tips for starting a daily meditation practice:

-"Start with just 2-5 minutes per day, ideally in the morning or evening.
-Sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes, and focus on your breath.
-When your mind wanders (it will!), gently return to your breath or focus point.
-Use guided meditations through apps like Insight Timer, Calm, or Headspace to stay on track.
-Build a routine by attaching it to an existing habit: meditate after brushing your teeth, or before drinking your morning coffee.

The key isn’t perfection — it’s consistency. Think of it like training a muscle. Over time, your ability to focus, relax, and regulate your emotions will grow."

You got this.

"This holiday intertwines the somber remembrance of fallen service members with the celebratory anticipation of summer’s beginning. Consequently, this duality can evoke a powerful mix of emotions, from profound grief and solemn reflection to joyful social connection."

It's ok to:
- Check in with yourself and others who may be feeling strong emotions
- Balance remembrance and celebration
- Spend time alone to reflect
- Enjoy time with family or friends
- Express gratitude
- Manage symptoms of grief such as anxiety or depression
- Access mental health services

West Grove Clinic is open Monday - Friday and our compassionate therapists and medication providers can help you heal grief, trauma, depression, and anxiety. Please call for an appointment at 414-810-4844, or visit our website at westgroveclinic.com

There is emerging evidence that a little physical exercise, resistance exercises in particular, can help support brain health. A healthy brain can mean improved concentration, memory, and even feeling happier. Not to mention, you'll reap the benefits of exercising.

Always check with your medical provider if you're unsure about what exercise might be best for you.

The Kenosha Survivors of Su***de Loss Support Group is hosting its 4th annual su***de prevention walk, Stroll for Hope to End Su***de, taking place on Saturday, May 16th at Lake Andrea.

We are asking for your support for our 4th annual Stroll for Hope to End Su***de Walk. The money we raise will be used to purchase supplies for group, provide awareness and prevention in the community and develop and maintain a website for Survivors of Su***de Loss to connect.

You can support our efforts by becoming a sponsor, participate in the walk along with your staff, or by simply helping spread the word.

Politics, work, the kids, money- the trigger doesn't matter. How you respond matters a lot. Here's a tool to help you remember.

Think this to yourself, or even say it out loud,
"I'm feeling __________ right now. This emotion is valid, but I don't have to act on it. I can check the facts and choose what helps me."

And if you feel you need to speak with someone, please call us at 414-810-4844 to make an appointment with a therapist or medication prescriber. Most insurances accepted, including Medicaid and Medicare.
