TO ALL OUR VETERANS,

ON THIS VETERANS DAY, WE COME TOGETHER IN GRATITUDE TO HONOR YOUR BRAVERY, SACRIFICE, AND UNWAVERING DEDICATION. YOUR SERVICE AND COURAGE HAVE KEPT US SAFE, DEFENDED OUR FREEDOMS, AND BUILT A LEGACY THAT INSPIRES US DAILY.

WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR STRENGTH DURING TIMES OF HARDSHIP AND FOR YOUR SELFLESSNESS, LEAVING BEHIND FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO SERVE SOMETHING GREATER THAN YOURSELF. YOUR COMMITMENT HAS NOT ONLY PROTECTED OUR NATION BUT HAS ALSO TAUGHT US ABOUT LOYALTY, RESILIENCE, AND THE TRUE MEANING OF HONOR.

AS A COUNTRY, WE OWE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS, AND AS INDIVIDUALS, WE STAND IN AWE OF YOUR COURAGE. TODAY, WE PAY TRIBUTE TO ALL WHO HAVE WORN THE UNIFORM, PAST AND PRESENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND FOR THE UNBREAKABLE EXAMPLE YOU HAVE SET FOR US ALL.

WITH HEARTFELT GRATITUDE,

PRIMROSE HEALING AND WELLNESS

September is Su***de Awareness Month.

It’s time to bring attention to a topic that often feels too heavy to talk about but is too important to ignore. If you or someone you know is struggling, please know that you are not alone. There are people who care and want to help. ❤️

Watch for the signs:

-Withdrawal from friends and activities
-Changes in mood, behavior, or sleep patterns
-Expressing hopelessness or feeling like a burden
-Talking about death or self-harm
-Increased substance use

Remember, it’s okay to ask for help. Speak up. Reach out. Your voice matters, and there’s always someone willing to listen. You deserve support and healing.

We’re in this together. Let’s be there for one another.

September is Su***de Prevention Month, and today we recognize World Su***de Prevention Day.

Our hearts go out to anyone who has struggled. Here are some important steps we can take to prevent su***de:

Acknowledge mental illnesses as real and valid health conditions, not just feelings of sadness.

Educate yourself about mental health and its complexities.
Practice kindness online and in person.

Eliminate jokes about su***de—they can hurt more than help.
Be present for others. You don’t need to "fix" someone, but showing you care can make a difference.

Reach out to loved ones. Don't wait for them to come to you.

Mental health crisis resources are available—save these and share them with others. You never know whose life it could save:

SEPTEMBER IS SU***DE PREVENTION MONTH.

This month, let’s take a moment to reflect on the importance of mental health awareness and the power of support.

Every life is precious. By being informed, empathetic, and ready to lend a hand, we can all make a difference.

Su***de is a deeply complex and painful issue that affects people from all walks of life. The stigma surrounding it often makes it even harder for those struggling to seek help.

Remember, we can be the change. At Primrose Healing and Wellness, our providers are here to help and listen. If you or someone you know is suffering, take an act of courage—speak up today. You don’t have to go through it alone. We’re here for you. 💚

Hi Everyone,
I know everyone is reeling from the attempted assassination attempt of President Trump. As much as we are reeling and have a myriad of emotions, so do our clients who we will no doubt be talking to this week. As this week begins, I wanted to put together an opportunity for us to talk and debrief and come up with ways to talk to our clients. Consoling them may be the easy part for us but dealing with clients who have very different opinions then us. I wanted to provide a forum where we might be able to help one another prepare how to deal with clients in the midst of our own feelings. You are invited to join a discussion to help do. The is a non partisan and nonpolitical event, it is meant for those who want to debrief and help their clients. Registration is necessary to get the zoom link.
