Do you feel like you’re carrying too much? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry everything by yourself.

It’s the last Sunday of the month, and the perfect time to reflect on everything you’ve accomplished.

Don’t worry about the little things. There’s still time.

Take a moment to treat yourself to a fun-filled day and celebrate all that you’ve done. You deserve it!

Self-care is essential!

Taking care of your family and all the daily needs of life can take a toll on you. Self-care is not only necessary, but essential for you.

When you give yourself permission to recharge, you come back with more energy and more clarity.

Treat yourself for the day.

Remember, you do not have to do this alone. Oregon Family Support Network offers resources and peer support to help parents care for their own well-being as they care for their families.

Before the month is over, we wanted to give one last shout out to May being Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!

At Oregon Family Support Network, we honor and celebrate the strength and resilience of AAPI communities. We recognize the importance of culturally responsive mental health support for families from all backgrounds.

Let’s lift up AAPI voices, share stories, and stand together for inclusion, understanding, and equitable care.

The way we react to stress can impact our physical health.

By ignoring our emotions, not giving ourselves a break, or using the wrong methods to cope we can increase our chances of high blood pressure and heart attacks down the line.

When you find yourself stressed, it’s easy to decompress by being stagnant, snacking, or even turning to alcohol. When you find your stress level rising, consider getting outside, going for a walk, or picking that healthy snack.

Developing healthier habits when we are stressed will create better outcomes for our physical and mental health.

If you need support, encouragement, or someone to listen, call the Oregon Family Support Network Parent Warmline at 1-833-732-2467. Our Family Support Specialists are here to walk alongside you.

"Recovery is not a straight line. I heal in place and circle around again. Sometimes I get stuck in the same place I did before — but not for as long. And then I move again. That is progress. Most recently, two women — who I deeply respect — told me they see the healing happening. And I do too. Healing didn’t come from more control. It came from compassion, trauma-informed care, and connection."

At Oregon Family Support Network, our Family Support Specialists are there to listen without judgment, share resources that work in the real world, and help families build confidence to advocate for their children.

Have a story you want to share? We’d love to hear from you! Visit ofsn.org to connect with a Family Support Specialist or share your story today.

If you feel like you need support, you do not have to do it alone. Reach out to the Oregon Family Support Network Parent Warmline at 1-833-732-2467. Our Family Support Specialists are here to listen, support, and walk alongside you.

How do we break the negative stigma of mental health?

It starts with the way we talk about mental health.

Proper Language
Using mental “condition” as opposed to mental “illness.” The use of “illness” can unintentionally carry a stigma.

A Person Not the Diagnoses
Focus on the person, not their diagnoses. A “person with autism” or a “person with bipolar,” not a “bipolar person.”

Speak Openly
Having honest conversations about mental health, whether it’s our own or others' health, can reduce shame and lay the groundwork for a more supportive system.

Sharing Stories
Sharing our own experiences and struggles creates more space for others to not feel alone.

The way we talk about mental health can shift shame to understanding and self-doubt to seeing each other.

Remember, you are not alone. Reach out to the Oregon Family Support Network Parent Warmline at 1-833-732-2467. Our Family Support Specialists are here to listen, support, and walk alongside you.
