September is World Alzheimer’s Month.

This month, we honor not only those living with memory loss, but also the caregivers walking alongside them every day.

You didn’t ask for this role, but you’ve stepped into it with love, strength, and compassion.

As BetterHelp Therapist Sarah Close reminds us:

“If you're caregiving through memory loss, you're not weak for feeling tired. You’re human for loving someone through the hardest kind of goodbye.”

To all caregivers: your love is seen, felt, and remembered 💚

Back-to-school season can bring excitement—and anxiety. Parents can help children navigate these changes by creating predictable routines, checking in about their day, and showing what healthy coping looks like in action. The DBSA Mood Crew provides free, interactive resources that make it easier for children to talk about their emotions. When children feel understood and supported, they’re more likely to thrive socially, academically, and emotionally.

Feeling behind? You’re not. You’re just comparing your life to an artificial timeline that wasn’t made for you.

There is no perfect timeline, no secret clock you’re racing against. The pressure to have it all figured out by a certain age is loud, but it’s not real.

You can start late, start again, or even start unprepared. There’s no rush for becoming who you want to be.
