January doesn't come with a universal feeling.

Some people start the new year motivated and ready to set goals. Others start it tired, cautious, or just trying to catch their breath. Maybe you're somewhere in between.

New Year's resolutions can be helpful for some, but they can also feel heavy or discouraging for others. Neither response is wrong.

2026 doesn't need a total reset to be meaningful. You're allowed to move forward slowly, change your mind, opt out, or begin again later.

However you're entering this year, you're not behind. And support belongs in the picture, too. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure, call or text 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org. Help is available 24/7.

Merry Christmas 🎄 from the Management and Staff of Guam Behavioral Health and Wellness Center!
This holiday season, remember to care for your mind and body. Stay active, eat mindfully, rest well, and cherish moments of joy with loved ones. And remember, if things feel overwhelming, our 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is always here to help.

It's not just you.

The holidays don't feel easy for everyone. For many, this season brings stress, grief, pressure, and/or loneliness, even when it looks joyful on the outside.

You don't have to force cheer. You don't have to explain your feelings. You're allowed to move through this season in your own way.

If you need support, it's okay to reach out. Call or text 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org for free, confidential support. You can also connect with us at gbhwc.guam.gov or 671-647-5440. Intake services are available 24/7.

And if someone comes to mind while reading this, consider checking in. Sometimes a simple message helps more than you realize.

You don't have to carry this alone.

We move through our days surrounded by people who are carrying more than they let on. Some carry it quietly. Some carry it while taking care of everyone else. Some carry it behind a smile.

A small check-in won't fix everything, but it can remind someone they're not invisible. It can remind them they don't have to hold everything alone.

And if you're the one who needs a check-in today, that matters too. Support is available. Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org any time.

GBHWC Wrapped had landed! This year held a lot. From hard moments to good moments, and everything in between. You showed up for yourself, for your people, and for this community in ways that mattered.

Here's a look at the hours you lived through, the emotions that surface, the care you offered, the trainings you showed up for, and the small moments that added up to something meaningful.

Thank you for being part of this work.
Thank you for the difference you made—one person, one hour, one starfish at a time.

We can't wait to see what next year looks like and how you'll keep sharing it.

If you or someone you love needs support, call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org.

Grief can feel louder this time of the year. National Grief Awareness Week is a reminder that moving through loss isn't simple, and it doesn't follow a clear pattern.

Some days feel heavier, while some are quiet. Both are okay.

If this season is hard for you, take things at your own pace. Honor the person you miss in ways that feel right. But don't forget to honor yourself, too.

And if you need someone to talk to, you can call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org anytime.

For many men, silence feels safer than honesty. Years of being to "man up" or "keep it together" can make it hard to say, "I'm struggling" or "I need help."

On Guam, men experience a disproportionately higher rate of su***de than women, yet they're also less likely to reach out for help or conenct with services when they need it most.

But healing doesn't happen alone. It grows in spaces where listening replaces judgment. Where family, friends, partners, and coworkers choose to care instead of correct.

Every time we respond with empathy instead of shame, we make it easier for men to speak, and for the next generation to see that strength and emotion can exist together.

Reach out to the men in your life. Check in, even if they seem fine. Sometimes one honest conversation can remind someone that they don't have to carry it alone.

If you or someone you know needs to talk, call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org for free, confidential support.

Today we honor those have served and those who continue to serve. Many carry experiences that can't always be spoken, memories that don't fade easily.

They need our support. The support doesn't have to be grand. Start small. A check-in, a conversation, a reminder that help is real and hope is still possible. You don't need the right words. You just need to show up.

If you or a Veteran you know is struggling, call or text 988 and press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line. You can also chat at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat. Help is free, confidential, and always here.

Halloween can be fun for many. There are costumes, candy, laughter, and fun. But it can also be a time that brings up old memories, quiet grief, or a sense of unease.

For some, fear isn't fun. It's not necessarily the monsters or the ghosts. They're afraid of reminders that feel too close to real life. This can look like loss, trauma, or the pressure to join in when they'd rather not.

If you're one of those people, it's okay to take a step back. You can celebrate, or not, in whatever way feels right for you. Feeling safe matters more than fitting in.

Reach out if you need to. Someone will listen.
And if you can, be that person for someone else.
