Today, we're making the most of every moment because it's National Carpe Diem Day!

So, what does that mean? It’s about being mindful, living in the present, enjoying life, and celebrating each day with purpose and gratitude.

We’ve all had times when we say, ‘Someday, I’ll write a handwritten letter to a friend,’ or ‘One day, I’ll plan a trip to explore where my ancestors lived.’ Carpe Diem Day reminds us not to wait—let’s seize the moment today!

Seizing the moment doesn’t have to be a big gesture. With so many distractions, especially our phones, it’s easy to miss the little things. Try putting your phone down today. Be present with those around you. Notice the beauty of a sunset or the sound of birds singing.

How will you celebrate Carpe Diem Day? Here are a few ideas we found:

1. Plan the trip you’ve always wanted to take.
2. Visit a friend or family member you haven’t seen in a while and catch up on life's happenings.
3. Try that restaurant you’ve been curious about on your way to or from work.
4. Take a long walk in nature and notice the signs of the season.
5. Turn off your devices an hour before bed and let yourself enjoy some quiet time.

Whatever way you choose to be mindful and present, enjoy your celebration!

We all know worries are a common life experience. Even well into the school year, anxious children, teens, and young adults worry about school-related issues, including teachers, friends, academics, and future plans. Rest assured, it is OK for your child to have worries.

5 Steps to Deal with School Worries

Take Care of the Basics: Ensure your child gets enough rest, eats well, and exercises regularly.

Provide Empathy: Listen to your child. Practice active listening and let your child lead the conversation; avoid judging or interrogating.

Problem Solve: Once you identify what is bothering your child, you can develop a coping plan. Addressing the problem with concrete solutions will significantly reduce the worry.

Focus on the Positive Aspects: Once you have problem-solved, you can redirect your child away from the worries and focus on the positives.

Pay Attention to Your Behavior: Children take cues from their parents, so the more confidence and calm you can model, the more your child will believe s/he can handle the back-to-school jitters.

If you need more information or help managing these anxieties, call us. We will help you. We have professionals who can speak with your child, both in and out of school.

Sometimes, we need a little encouragement in life.

Much like physical rehabilitation may be necessary to restore function and mobility after an injury or surgery, psychiatric rehabilitation (psych rehab) can help individuals diagnosed with a severe mental illness regain community function and well-being.

Psych Rehab (or 'Group,' as we sometimes call it) is a voluntary, non-clinical program (no referral needed) that helps adults (18+ years of age) develop skills and access resources to succeed in living, working, learning, and social environments.

Interested in connecting with peers who share similar mental health concerns in our Psych Rehab program? Give us a call or visit our website.
