Today is National Stress Awareness Day, a reminder to pause and check in with yourself.

Stress shows up in different ways—tense shoulders, racing thoughts, short tempers, sleepless nights. The good news? Small changes can help reduce daily stress and restore balance.

Here are a few things that help:
✅ Take a short walk
✅ Say no to one more task
✅ Breathe deeply for 60 seconds
✅ Talk it out with someone you trust

Need more support? We’re here.

On October 27th, Monroe CMHA hosted its third annual Mental Health Summit at Monroe County Community College's La-Z-Boy Center. 43 people attended, including representatives from community mental health staff, MDHHS, schools, law enforcement, and other community partners.

This year's topic was "From Crisis to Connection" with keynote speaker Julia Hettich, Departmental Analyst in MDHHS's Crisis Services and Stabilization Section, overseeing adult crisis services in Michigan.

Thanks to everyone who participated! We hope to see you again next year!

Congratulations to September's Star of the Month: Jailin! 🌟

This month, we’re proud to recognize Jailin Burris as our Star of the Month for his outstanding work ethic and the positivity he brings to the MCMHA environment.
