As we head into the weekend, it is a good time to pause and reset.

Taking care of your emotional health does not require a big plan. Sometimes it starts with one small action, a walk, a phone call, a quiet moment, or simply checking in with yourself.

What helps you recharge emotionally after a long week?

If you or someone you know needs immediate support, Veterans can call or text 988, then press 1, to reach the Veterans Crisis Line.
