Today marks the celebration of Diwali in the Hindu and other religious communities around the world. Diwali, the magnificent Festival of Lights, is more than a single day—it is a grand, five-day celebration that illuminates hearts and homes across India and the global diaspora. It’s a time of spiritual reflection, joyous rituals, and strengthening family bonds. Celebrated by millions worldwide, Diwali marks the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.

"In Sacramento, with its vibrant Indian community, Diwali has become a cherished tradition that blends cultural heritage with local flair. From glowing diyas in Elk Grove to community feasts in Natomas, this link suggests how to celebrate Diwali in Sacramento in 2025. "

Here is a thoughtful message about Diwali from our own Dr. Joy Nandan:

Happy Diwali, HeartLand Family! 🪔

As the Festival of Lights is celebrated around the world today, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on its spirit — honoring light over darkness, hope over despair, and community over isolation.

In our work in community mental health, we live this spirit every day — helping others find light through compassion, connection, and care.

Wishing you peace, warmth, and moments of reflection and joy this season.

May the light of kindness continue to guide all we do together.

Happy Diwali!✨
Dr. Joy

May your light shine into the darkness and bring hope and joy!

💭 If you’re feeling heavy right now—please know this: you are not alone.
Many young people and families are walking through tough seasons, but there is always hope, and there are people ready to walk beside you.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is to reach out. Talking to someone can make the difference.

🌿 HeartLand is here for Sacramento youth and families. Let’s remind one another that it’s okay to need help, and it’s okay to ask for it.

🌟 A Story of Hope 🌟

One young man we’ve supported has lived with severe anxiety—especially around peers. With resources that allowed him to finish his schooling from home, his anxiety lessened and his confidence grew.

Now, he’s not only passing his classes but also stepping into new opportunities. Recently, he began volunteering at his local library—taking another hopeful step toward his future.

Stories like his remind us why we show up for Sacramento families: because every child deserves hope and help. 💚

The theme for 2025 is
"We Belong Here and We're Here to Stay."

• A powerful reminder that individuals with disabilities are integral members of society, deserving of recognition and respect.

• Promotes the idea that disabled individuals should be celebrated for their contributions and identities.

• A call to action against ableism and discrimination, encouraging communities and organizations to take meaningful steps toward accessibility and equality.

• By embracing this theme, communities are encouraged to foster environments where everyone, regardless of ability, can thrive and contribute meaningfully.

Disability Pride Month is celebrated every July, commemorating the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990. This year marks the 35th anniversary of the signing of the ADA, the landmark legislation prohibiting discrimination against those with disabilities. Here is a link to an article providing history and context for this important step toward equity.

👉 “What if one moment could change everything? For this teen, it did.”
He started out quiet and unsure—but today, he’s part of his school swim team! 🏊‍♂️
It took encouragement, tools to build confidence, and a community that believed in him.

We love seeing youth thrive—and this is just one of many stories of hope happening at HeartLand every day. 💛

🌿 Mental Health Tip of the Day: Name It to Tame It.
Anxiety thrives in silence. Sometimes, the best first step is simply saying out loud:

“I’m feeling anxious—and that’s okay.”

You don’t have to explain it. You don’t have to fix it right away. Just acknowledging what you’re feeling tells your brain: This is real, and I’m handling it.

💬 Say it. Write it. Text a friend. Whatever helps get it out of your head. Healing starts when we stop pretending we’re fine.
