Prevention is a group effort. It takes a village, and sometimes, it takes a global conversation to find the best ways to protect the roots of our community.

Last month, our GBHWC team, dedicated community partners, and inspiring youth leaders represented Guam at the ! The team learned about the latest evidence-based prevention strategies that can be brought back to our island. From networking with 4,000+ global prevention leaders to exploring over 100 workshops, we stay committed to fostering a safer, healthier and more informed community for all.

Seeing our youth leaders stand among thousands of global advocates reminds us why this matters: because the next generation is worth every bit of effort we put in today.

Biba Mes CHamoru!

In our culture, we value resilience. We are a people of strength, deep roots, and community. But sometimes, we mistake silence for strength. We carry heavy burdens because we don't want to bring shame to our families, or we believe that asking for help would show that we're weak.

But there's no shame in being human. Whatever it is you're navigating, your story deserves to be heard. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness. It's an act of courage for yourself and your family.

Choose healing over silence.

Today is usually reserved for grand gestures, from flowers and cards to bright red hearts. But we think the most important kinds of love are the ones that happen in the quiet.

It's the love that sets a boundary to protect its peace. It's the love that reaches out when the weight gets too heavy to carry alone. It's the love that stays, even when the noise fades and things get hard.

Whether today feels celebratory or just plain heavy, please know this: You are worthy of the kind of love that lets you rest without guilt. You are worthy of being checked on. You are worthy of being here.

Whatever today brings, you don't have to face it alone. We're here. Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org.

Biba Prevention! Let’s celebrate the strength of our island and our commitment to a healthy, drug-free Guam. Prevention isn’t just about saying “no”- it’s about saying “YES” to respecting ourselves, our families, and our future.

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.
