✨ Redefine celebration this holiday season ✨

Food will always be a beautiful part of gathering — but it doesn’t have to be the only way we honor life’s moments. Try sprinkling in joy that isn’t centered around a plate: a cozy self-care ritual, a festive neighborhood walk, a yoga class, crafting with friends, writing appreciation notes, or giving back to your community.

This year, let’s celebrate with both delicious meals and meaningful moments. Your body and your spirit will thank you. 💛

Happy Thanksgiving from your Prevention Center team
