Happy Halloween from all of us at CORE Coping!

Whether you’re trick-or-treating, passing out candy, or just enjoying a cozy night in, here’s your friendly reminder:
• Slow down in neighborhoods, little goblins might dart across the street
• Be kind to shy kids (costumes can be overwhelming!)
• Take breaks if the night feels too loud, crowded, or overstimulating
• And if Halloween brings up anxiety or tricky memories, that’s okay too. You’re allowed to take care of your mental health, even on a holiday.

Stay safe, have fun, and enjoy the magic of the night, whatever that looks like for you!

National First Responders Day

Today, on National First Responders Day, we honor the people who show up when the rest of us are told to stay back. People like EMTs, firefighters, police officers, paramedics, dispatchers, and more.

Your bravery, dedication, and service save lives every day.

But behind the uniform, there are real people carrying stress, trauma, and emotional exhaustion that often goes unseen.

Mental health support is something every first responder deserves. If you’re a first responder, or love someone who is: Your well-being matters. Help is available. You are not alone.

Positive Attitude Month: Permission to Feel & Still Be Hopeful

A positive attitude isn’t about forcing a smile; it’s about allowing room for both struggle and strength.

This Positive Attitude Month, remember:
• You can feel overwhelmed and keep showing up.
• You can be sad and believe things will get better.
• You can hold hard truths and still find light.

Positivity that makes space for real emotion is the kind that lasts and heals.

ADD ADHD Awareness Month: Support & Strategies

Living with ADHD doesn’t mean you’re broken; it means your brain works differently.

If you or your child has ADHD, know this:
• You’re not lazy.
• You’re not “too much.”
• You’re not alone.

Support can look like:
• Tools to stay organized
• Strategies to manage feeling overwhelmed
• Emotional validation and encouragement
• Therapy that meets your brain where it is

Progress is possible and it doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Positive Attitude Month

October is Positive Attitude Month but let’s be clear: positivity doesn’t mean pretending everything is fine.

It means believing in your ability to get through hard things.
It means looking for meaning, not ignoring pain.
It means practicing hope, even when life feels heavy.

A positive attitude can support mental health by building strength, improving stress response, and helping us reframe setbacks without denying reality.

It's not about feigning positivity; it’s about grounded optimism.

• Reducing stigma
• Promoting access to mental health care

Child Health Day

On Child Health Day, we’re reminded that true wellness goes beyond physical checkups and healthy meals, it includes emotional health, too.

Kids feel stress, anxiety, and pressure and sometimes in ways they can’t explain. That’s why creating safe, supportive spaces for children to express themselves is so important.

Mental health support for kids can include:
• Learning to name emotions
• Building coping skills
• Creating secure, trusting relationships
• Having someone to talk to when things feel too big

Helping kids care for their emotional health now lays the foundation for strength, confidence, and connection for years to come.

ADD ADHD Awareness Month: Awareness & Misconceptions

October is ADHD Awareness Month. It’s a time to expand our understanding and break down the myths.

ADHD isn’t just about being distracted or hyper. It can affect organization, time management, emotional regulation, memory, and daily routines in complex ways.

Many people, especially adults, go undiagnosed for years, blaming themselves for things that are truly neurological, not personal failings.

The more we understand ADHD, the more compassion we can offer to others and to ourselves.

National Fall Foliage Week

Fall reminds us that change can be breathtaking.
During National Fall Foliage Week, take a moment to slow down and really notice the season around you, the vibrant leaves, the cooler air, the way the light softens.

Nature has a way of grounding us in the present. Even a short walk, a deep breath, or a quiet glance out the window can reconnect us to something steady and calm.

Mental health care doesn’t always mean big changes. Sometimes it starts with simply noticing what’s beautiful, right now.

Practical Goal-Setting for Growth

Self-improvement isn’t about overhauling your entire life, it’s about making intentional, sustainable changes that support your growth.

This Self-Improvement Month, here are a few ways to set goals that stick:
• Start small. Big change begins with doable steps.
• Be specific. “Read more” becomes “Read 10 minutes before bed.”
• Track progress. Celebrate effort, not just outcomes.
• Stay flexible. Growth isn’t linear. Adjust as needed.
• Ask for support. A therapist can help you clarify goals, overcome obstacles, and stay on track.

Progress isn’t about being perfect, it’s about staying committed to your values.

First Day of Autumn

The seasons are shifting and so are we.

On this First Day of Autumn, we’re reminded that change doesn’t have to be rushed. Like the falling leaves, we’re allowed to let go of what no longer serves us. Autumn invites reflection, rest, and slowing down. In a world that often pushes us to do more, this season says: pause, breathe, notice.

Wherever you are in your personal season, growth, grief, healing, or rest; You’re allowed to be there fully.
