🌧️❄️ Storm Preparedness = Mental Wellness ❄️🌧️

As this weekend's winter storm approaches, taking care of your mental health means planning ahead for your physical health, too.

Storms can disrupt routines, increase anxiety, and make it harder to access medications and care. TaraVista encourages everyone to make sure prescriptions are filled, essential supplies are stocked, and support plans are in place before the storm arrives. A little preparation can go a long way toward protecting both your health and your peace of mind.

Additional valuable, helpful tips:

✔ Make sure medications are filled and stored safely

✔ Keep important phone numbers and crisis supports handy

✔Charge devices and prepare for possible power outages

✔Create a calm space with books, music, or comfort items

✔Check in on loved ones who may feel isolated or anxious

Weathering a storm is easier when you’re prepared — and when you remember that your mental wellness matters just as much as your physical safety.

If you or someone you love is struggling, help is always available here.

🩵❄️So glad we beat the storm and had the opportunity to connect with so many community partners this week at the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce Women’s Leadership Connection and Community Health Connections.

These connections strengthen our work—not only for our patients, but for our teams and the communities we serve.

Today, on the federal holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we reflect on a legacy that continues to shape our nation. While the holiday is observed on the third Monday of January, Dr. King’s actual birthday was January 15 — a reminder that behind the history is a real person whose courage, compassion, and clarity of purpose still guide us.

Dr. King often spoke about the emotional toll of injustice, and the strength people draw from hope and connection. His belief that “Only in the darkness can you see the stars” echoes the truth we see every day in behavioral health: that light, healing, and possibility still emerge even in someone’s hardest moments.

As we honor him today, we’re reminded of the importance of dignity, belonging, and mental well-being for every person. His commitment to justice calls us to keep showing up for one another — with empathy, with steadiness, and with the belief that brighter days are possible.

At TaraVista, that’s the work we bring forward daily: seeing people fully, meeting them where they are, and helping them find their way toward hope and healing.

Mental Wellness Month: Feed Your Mood
We’ve all heard “you are what you eat,” but here’s the real truth: your brain is what you eat, too.

The foods we choose can support clearer thinking, steadier moods, stronger energy, and overall emotional balance. Nourishing your heart and your head starts with your plate:

✨ Colorful fruits and veggies

✨ Whole grains that keep you steady

✨ Lean proteins for strength

✨ Healthy fats (hello, avocados!) that keep your brain firing on all cylinders

Small changes add up — one thoughtful meal, one mindful snack, one choice to fuel yourself well. If you’re looking for ideas, the American Heart Association has easy, trusted recipes your brain (and taste buds) will thank you for:

Here’s to choosing foods that help us think more clearly, feel steadier, and live brighter — this month and every month.

What a wonderful way to start the new year—together, in community.

This week, we were honored to be part of the Nashoba Valley Chamber of Commerce Breakfast with the Boss, where our COO, Sheila Crowley, was the featured speaker on Building Mentally Healthy Workplaces.

The conversation was timely, meaningful, and energizing, with a room full of local business leaders who truly care about their people and their organizations. These are the kinds of conversations that create stronger teams, healthier cultures, and more resilient workplaces.

A heartfelt thank you to Melissa Fetterhoff, IOM for recognizing the importance of this conversation and for making mental health front and center in our local business community. And thank you to Jason N. Kauppi Kippi for expertly moderating the discussion.

TaraVista is here to help. If you’d like to explore ways to support mental health in your workplace or schedule a session with your leadership team or managers, please reach out to Sheila at scrowley@taravista.care.
