September is National Recovery Month, a time to honor those on their recovery journey and recognize the importance of supporting those experiencing mental health and substance use disorders.

Recovery is not always linear, but it is always possible to build a healthier, more fulfilling life. This National Recovery Month, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) highlights four dimensions that support recovery:
😄 Health: Caring for both mind and body supports whole-person wellness.
🤝 Community: Asking for help and building supportive relationships creates a sense of belonging.
💖 Purpose: Meaningful activities and goals foster resilience and fuel growth.
🏡 Home: Safe and stable living environments provide a strong foundation for recovery.

We celebrate the courage of individuals in recovery and the communities that support them. For mental health and substance use resources, visit https://www.careoregon.org/members/mental-health-and-substance-use-treatment

Back-to-school season is an exciting time – but it can also bring stress, anxiety and big emotions for kids and teens. New routines, academic pressure and social changes can all impact your child's mental health.

If you notice lasting changes in your child’s mood, sleep, appetite or behavior, reaching out for support can make a difference. Talking with a trusted provider, teacher or counselor can help your child feel seen, supported and make a lasting difference in their wellbeing.
