Happy New Year 💚

As we begin a new year, remember that you don’t need big resolutions or immediate change. Taking care of your mental health can start with small, steady steps. It's okay to be where you are right now.

We’re here to support you in the year ahead.

After weeks of busy schedules, social demands, and heightened emotions, your mind and body may need time to reset.

Slowing down doesn’t mean falling behind, it means allowing space to recover. Rest can help improve mood, focus, and emotional resilience as you move into the new year. Turn off the phone, take a nap, clear your schedule, and unwind from the business of the season.

If you’re finding it hard to rest or feel balanced after the holidays, our team is here to support you💚

We hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas. As a reminder, our office will be closed on December 24th and 25th. The Crisis Response Team is still available 24/7 by calling 988.

Between expectations, busy schedules, and emotional moments, the holidays can take a toll on mental well-being. We often feel the need to meet everyone else's needs but it can come at our own expense.

Taking breaks, setting boundaries, and reaching out for support are healthy choices, not signs of weakness. Your mental health matters during the holidays and every day of the year.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, reach out. Northland's office will be closed over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day but our Crisis Response Team is available 24/7 by calling 988 💚

Holiday stress often comes from carrying worries about the future while trying to enjoy the now.

Practicing mindfulness doesn’t mean everything feels perfect. It means allowing yourself to be here, just as you are, without judgment. Small moments of presence can ease anxiety and bring a sense of grounding during busy or emotional days.

If worry is taking over this season, reaching out for support can make a difference 💚

Not everyone experiences the holidays as joyful or simple, and that’s okay. Estrangement, conflict, loss, or tension can make this time of year especially challenging.

There’s no one “right” way to do Christmas. What matters most is caring for your mental and emotional health in ways that feel right for you. Boundaries, connecting more with supportive relationships, limiting contact, and continuing family traditions are all acceptable approaches. No one else is in your shoes, or boots for that matter.

If you’re struggling this season, reaching out for support can make a meaningful difference. We’re here when you’re ready💚

We love being a part of this every year! We have been ringing for the Salvation Army for years, long before the Challenge. This is the most we've ever collected so we have to say thank you to the community who graciously donate and make these challenges a huge success. Over $2600 between 2 groups is amazing!

Congratulations to Northland Counseling Center I-Falls for winning the 2025 Red Kettle Challenge against the Int'l Falls, MN Elks Lodge #1599. We are truly grateful for your support. It is always a fun time. Northland Counseling raised $1,404.92 and the Elks Lodge raised $1,206.05.

Tomorrow!

The Int'l Falls, MN Elks Lodge #1599 are gearing up for their Challenge by Northland Counseling Center I-Falls tomorrow. They will be ringing from 10 am - 7 pm. Will they fill more than two kettles? Will they become the 2025 Red Kettle Challenge winners?

This season, give yourself permission to let “good enough” be truly good enough.
💚 A simple meal shared with people you care about is enough.
💚 A messy house full of laughter is enough.
💚 Doing your best with the energy you have is enough.

When we let go of perfection, we make room for connection, warmth, and genuine moments of joy.

Take a breath. Slow down. Be gentle with yourself.
You’re doing better than you think.

Two weeks ago, we were able to raise our first flag at Northland. While we have been providing services to the community for decades, we have never had our very own home to have a flagpole. When we learned that the VFW was retiring their flagpole, we thought it was a perfect opportunity for an adoption. With the help of our friends at the VFW, Koochiching County Commissioner Roche, and an employee, we were able to refinish and install the pole at her new home, just in time for Warrior Care Month.

We are honored to serve our Veterans, Service Members, and their supports. Thank you to those who attended our ceremony and a special thanks to our local Color Guard 💚🇺🇸
