Are you one of those families who shares what you're grateful for at the Thanksgiving table? There's science behind it!

Studies have shown that expressing gratitude can boost your immediate happiness by up to 10% and lower depressive symptoms even more.

But practicing gratitude regularly is key, because the effects wear off. One of the best ways is to keep a gratitude journal: spend 10-15 minutes a week brainstorming and writing down the things, people, places, and experiences you are grateful for.

PTSD myths vs. reality:

❌ Only combat veterans get PTSD
✅ While PTSD affects many veterans, it can develop from any traumatic experience—military or civilian

❌ People with PTSD are dangerous
✅ Most people with PTSD are not violent and often struggle silently. They're more likely to isolate than act out

❌ PTSD is permanent
✅ PTSD is treatable with therapy, support, and time

Our veterans deserve understanding, not stigma. Let's honor their service by supporting their mental health. 💙

Real Talk: Your Feedback Matters 💙

We don't just say we care about your experience—we actually want to hear about it! The good, the not-so-good, and everything in between.

That's why every clinic has anonymous feedback kiosks - so you can provide honest input that helps us do better. We read every single comment, follow up on concerns, and make real changes.

And then there are the comments that make our whole team light up... ✨

"Esther is so supportive!"

Shoutout to Esther at our Fairbanks Adult clinic! She provides individual therapy AND leads our "Golden Gathering" group—a weekly space where older adults connect, share stories, and support each other through life's transitions.
Because sometimes the best therapy happens when we realize we're not alone. 💛
