Today, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication of our first responders. 🚒🚑👮‍♀️

On National First Responders Day, we extend our deepest gratitude to the firefighters, paramedics, police officers, and emergency personnel who run toward danger to keep our communities safe.

This month, we stand with everyone navigating the often invisible weight of depression. 💛

National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month is a time to replace stigma with understanding, and silence with conversation. It’s a reminder that depression is not a choice, a weakness, or something to “just snap out of”—it’s a real and complex condition that deserves compassion, support, and professional care.

If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone. Help is available, and hope is real. Let’s continue to educate ourselves, offer gentle support, and remind each other that it’s okay to not be okay.
