💚 World Mental Health Day 💚

Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means you’ve got the control back💪🏼

Pain isn’t always visible, but it’s always real.
And just because others can’t feel your pain doesn’t make it any less valid.

As physicians and healers, we’re often the first to care for others. But remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Just like putting on your own oxygen mask before helping others on a plane, caring for your own mental health allows you to care more fully for those around you.

Today, let Oregon’s calm remind you: slowing down is not a weakness, it’s part of healing. Because mental health matters for EVERYONE! Patients, families, and physicians alike.

💚

By the way, can you recognize where these beautiful Oregon places are? 🌲✨
