Today, we observe Patriot Day.
September 11th is a day of remembrance—honoring the heroes, lives lost, and the resilience of our nation. It’s also a day that can stir strong emotions such as grief, anxiety, or even trauma responses.

On a day like today, it’s important to care for your mental health. Consider:
🌿 Taking time for mindfulness, reflection, or prayer
🤝 Participating in community events that foster connection
💪 Engaging in physical activity or simple self-care practices
💬 Reaching out for professional counseling or support groups if you need extra help

Remember—you don’t have to carry heavy emotions alone. Taking care of your mental health is a way of honoring yourself and those around you. 💙
