Self-compassion is the intentional effort to be compassionate to ourselves, despite our failures, flaws, shortcomings, and suffering. It is when we can extend the same kindness, grace, empathy, and care we would to a loved one that we care deeply about, to ourselves. One way we can practice this is by identifying a time, today or in the past week, where perhaps we were not very kind to ourselves. Take a moment to reflect on how we would show up in that moment if instead we were talking to a loved one, instead of talking to ourselves. This is an exercise we can do even in the moment when we catch ourselves not being kind to ourselves, but remember this takes practice!

Disenfranchised grief is a loss that is not recognized or validated by others or society. It can add additional suffering to the already painful experience of grief. There are ways to navigate disenfranchised grief, including seeking professional support, validating your loss and feelings, prioritizing self-care, journaling, and joining a support group with others who can relate to or understand your specific loss.

According to Positive Psychology, gratitude journaling can promote well-being and self-actualization. This means that taking the time daily or weekly to journal about what we feel or are grateful for can help increase overall well-being, feelings of happiness, life satisfaction, and bring a sense of meaningfulness.

Trauma can take many forms—from fear and changes in sleep to feeling on edge, shifts in mood, or experiences that are harder to name.

Starting next week, Act Now for Mental Health will host our weekly Trauma Support Group on Tuesdays at 6 PM ET—designed to meet people where they are, with care, flexibility, and connection.

These groups provide focused spaces to connect around shared experiences, with rotating sub-group topics each week, and remain open for all:

🔹 1st Tuesday | Cultural – Identity, heritage, community, and intergenerational experiences

🔹 2nd Tuesday | All Experiences – Open to everyone

🔹 3rd Tuesday | Relational – Family, romantic, professional, and social relationships

🔹 4th Tuesday | Environmental – Natural disasters, conflict, violence, and unsafe environments

🔹 5th Tuesday (if applicable) | All Experiences
