Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! 💚💚💚

Your mental health matters, and it's OK to ask for help. We're recognizing May as Mental Health Awareness Month by lighting the Mansion green. We want every Kentuckian to know they are not alone. And if you need help, remember to call the 988 Lifeline.

We will be meeting tonight at the Central Library in Shepherdsville for our first meeting of the support group Living with Grief Through the Holidays. Come and join us for a warm, welcome space to relate and support one another as we navigate this time of year!

**EDIT: Location change! The group will now be held at the Central Library location in Shepherdsville!**

Hi folks 👋 Let's face it - the holidays may be a joyous and festive time, but they can also bring their own emotional challenges, especially when we're grieving. That's what has inspired me to start up this support group in Mt. Washington called "Living with Grief Through the Holidays". This small group will provide mutual support and healing for adults in the community that are struggling with navigating this time of year while experiencing loss.

This group will meet once a week for 4 weeks between December 2nd-23rd. You can find all pertinent information on the flyer below.

If you are interested, please complete this Google form to register: https://forms.gle/SXEv9pq9ZvfNtUSa6

Important Notes:
* This group will be limited to up to 10 adults. If there is a positive response, I'd be happy to offer more groups including other age ranges (children & teens) in the future.

Thank you!

With fall weather coming in, sometimes seasonal depression comes in with it. Less sunlight, shorter days, and an increased production of melatonin when it is darker out has been linked to a chemical change in the brain which can cause depressive symptoms. In other words, if you find yourself feeling like you’re in a funk when the weather changes - that’s totally valid!

Go ahead and give yourself permission to practice some self-care:

🧡 Reach out to your support network for help
🤎 Ask yourself what your body is telling you it needs, then give it what you need; If it’s empty, fill it. If it’s tired, rest. If it’s restless, move.
🧡 Set limits on things that are harmful in excess: scrolling social media, binge-eating junk foods, being around energy-drainers.
🤎 Practice giving yourself self-compassion and grace. Because you are doing your best, and your best is enough.

If you find yourself needing extra support this time of year, please reach out to schedule a brief consultation call to discuss how I can best help support your needs. Nothing is better self-care than prioritizing your own mental health!

Su***de impacts every corner of the globe. Every community is filled with those who know the grief of loss and the pain that su***de brings. Despite this widespread hurt, we often find ourselves keeping these stories, and our thoughts and feelings, inside. Stigma and shame still hold tight even though we know these struggles are not something we face alone. So today—World Su***de Prevention Day—exists for remembrance, for encouragement, and for the sake of honesty within a world that still tries to convince us to keep the pain to ourselves.

Thanks to Newport Health, The Dybul Family, and other anonymous donors, this day means even more for those who are seeking to make a difference in su***de prevention. We have a matching grant currently active and all donations to our campaign will be automatically doubled. 🧡 These funds help us show up directly for the people who need support the most.

We know that the epidemic of su***de is overwhelming. It’s a heavy thing to carry, and the weight of it can make it hard to know where to start. Whether by fundraising or donating, purchasing one of our Su***de Prevention Packs, or sharing our resources with those around you, you CAN make a difference in su***de prevention. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Get activated and take action in your own way today at twloha.com/stay.

💚 Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. Today, and everyday, it is important to remember that you are loved, you are cared for, and you are not alone. 💚
