International Self-Care Day | July 24

At Psych Health Associates, we believe that self-care is healthcare—especially when it comes to mental well-being.

For long-term care residents, self-care can look like:
✔️ Talking to someone who listens
✔️ Feeling safe and supported emotionally
✔️ Having consistent access to mental health services
✔️ Being treated with dignity, compassion, and patience

Our psychiatry and psychology providers work every day to ensure residents feel heard, seen, and empowered—because small moments of care lead to stronger recovery and better quality of life.

Let’s continue to make mental health part of the care conversation, today and every day.

Happy National Compliment Your Mirror Day!

Psych Health Associates believes that healing starts with how residents see themselves.

Our nurse practitioners work closely with long-term care residents to help rebuild confidence, process emotional challenges, and foster self-worth—because mental health isn’t just about diagnosis and medication; it’s about dignity, hope, and believing you’re capable of more.

On a day dedicated to self-kindness, we’re proud to stand alongside our patients in the mirror and say: You’re strong. You’re healing. You matter.

Let’s keep working together to reflect resilience, not just symptoms.
