The holidays aren’t easy for everyone. If this season feels overwhelming or emotionally heavy, you’re not alone. We have two supportive programs available that may offer relief and connection.

Touching the Heart:
Biweekly reminders that will give you encouragement to keep your emotional well-being strong.

Bright Stars: Join us for the 7th annual Bright Stars Ceremony—a gathering honoring loved ones lost to mental illness, su***de, substance use, or unexpected death. Advanced registration required.

Compassion begins with honoring our own hearts, giving space to feel, rest, and heal. Let’s be gentle with ourselves and others.
