When things feel hard, we’re here to help you navigate those waters. The average American is feeling the following stressors, but it’s what you do with that stressor that matters. Don’t let your stressors limit you, let them motivate to make a change to cope!

APA's latest Stress in America survey finds concerns about the future of the country are weighing heavily on the minds of many Americans.

Three-quarters of adults reported they are more stressed about the country’s future than they used to be. This heightened anxiety reflects a deeper, more persistent unease about the nation’s trajectory.

As we enter into Holiday Season, we’d like to offer some helpful tips in a series we’ll be calling, “Holiday Survival.”

Today we’re addressing grief and loss during the holidays. In order to relate to someone going through grief and loss, it is important to be aware of what is considered grief and loss. Often times people only equivocate grief and loss to death, but holidays offer a whole new understanding of grief and loss. People can be morning the loss of a loved one or even relationships due to enforcing safe boundaries. Whatever the case, there are ways to create peace when navigating change.

We’d like to wrap up Breast Cancer Awareness Month by honoring the Survivors, fighters, families, and loved ones.

Early detection saves lives. 💗
Let this be a reminder at the end of the month to schedule your screening, encourage a loved one, and learn the signs. Awareness isn’t just a word, it’s a lifeline.

At Rain River Counseling, we know that a cancer journey affects more than the body. It touches the heart, mind, and spirit. If you or someone you love needs emotional support, our counselors are here to walk alongside you through every step. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Let’s lift each other up, spread hope, and continue the fight together.

Between caring for others, managing work, and keeping up with daily life, it’s easy to forget that you need care too.

Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential.
According to the American Psychological Association, regular self-care helps lower stress and strengthen emotional resilience. Further research in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology shows that people who rest, connect, and reflect experience less burnout and greater life satisfaction.

Today, the world pauses to remember something we should never forget:
Your story isn’t over.

Every day, millions of people face silent battles that no one sees. Some are fighting depression. Others are navigating anxiety, trauma, or loss. And yet, through every struggle, there is courage — the courage to stay, to speak, to reach out, to try again.

Let’s make today — and every day — a space for healing, for hope, and for one another.
