❌ Myth: Depression is just sadness.
✅ Fact: Depression is a medical condition that can affect how a person thinks, feels, and functions in daily life.

During Depression Awareness Month, we join organizations across the country in helping raise awareness and reduce stigma surrounding mental health conditions. Depression can impact people from all walks of life, and symptoms may extend beyond sadness to include changes in energy, concentration, sleep, and overall well-being.

Seeking support is not a sign of weakness. It is a step toward healing. If you or someone you care about is struggling, know that help is available and recovery is possible.

Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that mental health matters every day.
If left unchecked, stress can show up in real ways: headaches, trouble sleeping, irritability, trouble concentrating, or pulling away from the people you love.

The good news is that small, consistent steps can make a difference:
✅ Notice the signs: physical tension, mood changes, and fatigue are often the first clues something needs attention.
✅ Practice mindfulness: even a few quiet minutes a day can help reset.
✅ Lean on your support system: connection matters more than we realize.
✅ Know when to reach out: asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Take a moment today to check in with yourself and the people around you.

If you or someone you love is struggling, support is available 24/7 through the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

This week is Mental Illness Awareness Week, a national effort, established by Congress in 1990 thanks to the National Alliance on Mental Illness's advocacy, dedicated to raising awareness and fighting stigma around mental illness.

Mental health affects everyone. While 1 in 5 U.S. adults experiences a mental health condition each year, the impact reaches far beyond just the individual. It touches friends, family, coworkers, and everyone who supports them.

Mental health is something we all experience, manage, and need support with at different points in our lives. No one should have to face these challenges alone.

If you or a loved one is struggling, help is available.

September is Su***de Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind others that help is available. Mental health challenges can affect anyone, and reaching out
for support is a sign of strength.

According to the CDC, an estimated 14.3 million U.S. adults seriously thought about su***de in 2024, highlighting the importance of connection, awareness, and access to care.

Together, we can help create hope, encourage conversations, and remind others that they are not alone.

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001.

We honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, the survivors, and the first responders who showed extraordinary courage on one of our nation’s darkest days.

Twenty-five years later, we also remember the way people came together — neighbors helping neighbors, communities supporting one another, and ordinary people showing extraordinary compassion.

May we continue to carry that spirit forward by looking out for one another, choosing kindness, and remembering the difference even small acts of care can make.

We will never forget.

09/07/2026

Today, we celebrate the nurses, therapists, support staff, and every team member whose
hard work helps create hope and healing for those we serve. Thank you for the compassion and dedication you bring to your work every day.

Have a safe and relaxing Labor Day. Our team remains available 24/7
