Big goals are motivating, but behaviors are what actually get you there.

Registered Dietitian Bailey Hudson explains why action-based goals tend to be more sustainable than outcome-based goals. Instead of focusing only on results like weight loss, shifting toward behaviors you can repeat daily can support long-term health.

For example, aiming to eat 20 grams of fiber each day creates consistency and momentum. Over time, those small actions can support bigger goals without the pressure that often leads to burnout.

What changes are you making to reach your New Year Goals?

Have you heard of “bedrotting”? It has been trending on social media geared toward Gen Z and Gen Alpha and is often framed as a form of self-care. While slowing down and taking a break can absolutely support mental health, the trend encourages long stretches of staying in bed with no movement at all.

👉 There is a difference between restorative rest and patterns that keep you disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck. If you need downtime, take it. But your well-being also benefits from small intentional movement, fresh air, and connection.

Balance matters. 💙

A small shift in perspective can change how you approach your day. This simple mindset tool can help ease pressure, reduce negative self-talk, and support a more balanced start to the year.

The small shift? Don’t allow yourself to think negatively about YOU. You’d be amazed how much we put ourselves down, often in situations that were out of our control to begin with.

When you catch yourself being overly critical of something you did or said, stop that thought and remind yourself that you deserve grace just like anyone else.

Its not all jingle bells and holly jolly feelings around the holidays. 😮‍💨

Loneliness can feel amplified by all the togetherness happening; But we don’t feel like we’re a part of it.

Kerry Horrell, PhD gives us the different reasons we might be feeling it extra hard this time of year.

It’s important know that what you’re feeling is more common than you think and there are people and support groups that you can talk to if you don’t feel comfortable talking to those around you.

We are proud to introduce the Adolescent Patient Assistance Fund, a new resource that expands access to world-class mental health care for adolescents ages 12 to 17 who otherwise could not afford treatment or who have exhausted insurance benefits.

This fund was made possible by a remarkable $1 million gift from a generous anonymous donor in Texas, whose hope is to inspire others to support adolescent mental health.

Every young person deserves the chance to heal, grow, and find hope. The Adolescent Patient Assistance Fund helps ensure that financial barriers do not stand in the way.

The fund is open for additional support from those who share our commitment to expanding access to care for young people.

Grace’s struggle didn’t start with stereotypical issues rooted in childhood. Even when her family noticed, they didn’t immediately know what to do about it.

After multiple recommendations to seek out The Menninger Clinic, Grace was able to receive support that would change her life.
