We know the timeline feels incredibly heavy right now. Between major political changes and global conflicts, your feed is likely a flood of intensity.
Here is a gentle reminder: You are not required to sacrifice your mental health to prove you care.

Take a breath. You are safe in this moment. 🌲

"I’ll sleep when I’m done." (But are you ever done?)

We live in a culture that treats exhaustion as a status symbol. But the research says otherwise.

Whether it’s the "Weathering" effects of systemic oppression [1], the cognitive load of "masking" your neurodivergence [2], or the psychological trap of tying your self-worth to your grades [3]—the science is clear: Relentless grinding is bad for our health.

Rest is not a reward you unlock after burnout. It is a vital tool for resistance, equity, and survival. ✊🌲

Will went from 'Can we play D&D?' to 'fighting for his life' real quick. 🎲⚔️

Here’s the reality check: You don't need a Season 5 time jump to start your own glow-up. Real power comes from taking care of the whole character sheet—your mental health, your physical health, and your squad. 🧠💪❤️

Don't wait until 1987 (for us, 2028!) to start feeling better. Come see us today.

Opioid agonist therapy (OAT) is life saving, safe and effective medications that are well-
established as best practice treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD). OAT is a way to support
people in achieving their health and well-being goals with the help of medication. For some,
the goal may be to stop using opioids completely. For others, it may be to reduce their use.
