💙 World Kindness Day reminds us that compassion is powerful — especially when it comes to mental health.

A small act of kindness can change someone’s entire day (and sometimes, their life).
Hold the door. Send the text. Offer a smile. Check in on a friend. 🌼

Let’s make kindness contagious — for others and ourselves.

This November, we join Mental Health America (MHA) in honoring the caregivers who are the heart of so many families. From personal care to emotional support, caregivers pour so much of themselves into others, and they deserve care and support, too.

🫶 Explore MHA’s Caregiving Resource Center, where you’ll find:
• A guide for new caregivers
• Resources for coping with caregiver stress
• Crisis planning tools
• Mental health support for parents
• Treatment and recovery resources
• Caregiving-focused webinars and blogs
• Partner & community resources

To all caregivers, thank you for your strength, compassion, and dedication. 💚
Remember: your mental health matters too. Take time for yourself and explore these helpful tools today.

This Veterans Day, we recognize not only the bravery of those who fought for our freedom, but also the strength it takes to fight unseen battles.

🧠 Nearly 1 in 4 veterans experience a mental health condition each year.
💙 About 17 veterans die by su***de every day in the U.S.
💬 Yet only half of those who need support receive it.

Let’s break the silence, end the stigma, and stand with our veterans — because healing should never be fought alone.
