As the season gets busy, it’s easy to pour into everyone else and forget to refill your own cup. This year, PAAC encourages you to slow down, breathe, and make space for your mental health.💚

Whether it’s taking a quiet moment, reaching out to someone you trust, or simply giving yourself grace — caring for yourself is the best gift you can give.

Let’s head into the holidays grounded, supported, and looking out for one another.

Research shows that kindness toward ourselves and others helps our mental health. Kind acts also help people feel more socially connected and less lonely, which may reduce the risk of depression.

The PAAC Youth Ambassadors: Roots of Change
are taking kindness to a whole new level!💚

As we kick off a month centered on thanks and gratefulness, our ambassadors are launching the “It’s Cool to Care” Movement.

This week, they’re writing heartfelt thank you cards to Westfall High School teachers and staff —those who make a difference every single day.

Small acts. Big impact.

Caring is cool, and kindness grows when we plant the seeds.🌼💚
