With a new year comes excitement. New friends, events, and opportunities to connect.

But it can also bring pressure to be everywhere, do everything, and keep up with everyone.

Remember: your social life should support your well-being, not drain it!

Being kind isn’t just about how you treat others, it’s also about how you honor yourself and your needs.

Kindness looks like:
- Letting someone know when they’ve crossed a boundary.
- Saying “no” when you’ve reached your limit.
- Stepping away from toxic environments or behaviors.
- Standing up for yourself in a compassionate way.

Setting boundaries is an act of self-respect and real kindness.

There are no "how to" guides for the heart, but caregivers write them every day with their actions and words for their loved ones. This November, we honor the familial caregivers for their commitment, resilience, and love.

For those in your life who are caregivers, take some time to write them a note that you see them, and a hug to show that you care.

Shout out to Patient Care Technicians (PCT) and Certified Nurse Assistants (CNA) for National Family Caregivers Month. To learn more about training opportunities in STL check out SLATE or other MO Job Centers.

For many, Wednesday becomes the ultimate test of overcoming exhaustion and stress. But not all stress is bad!

According to the Yerkes-Dodson Law, a little bit of stress can actually boost focus and performance. The key is balance.

Today, take the time to take that extra coffee break, stretch, or step outside on this day.

A reminder that managing stress is about finding a healthy zone where you can perform your best, wherever life takes you.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in St. Louis?

About the SPOT

There is no place like the SPOT in St. Louis.

Founded in 2008, the SPOT meets the needs of ALL youth between the ages of 13-24 with a comprehensive set of FREE medical and support services in a safe, youth-friendly environment. Our staff has met the needs of over 19,000 youth seeking medical care, social services, substance abuse assessments and counseling, mental health counseling, a safe place to hang out and much more.

Our philosophy requires that the SPOT be structured around the following guiding principles:

remove barriers that currently impede youth from seeking or obtaining health and prevention services;

create a center separate from a child or adult clinic environment that is youth-specific;

combine needed health and social services into a single setting;

engage youth in all aspects of the program development and allow opportunities for their leadership to be fostered;

successfully link youth into the existing healthcare system by addressing and eliminating specific barriers.

The SPOT is open Monday-Friday and provides the following services:

Drop-in: grab a snack, take a shower, do laundry, work on the computer, watch TV, participate in structured activities, and take home safer s*x kits;

Medical care: FREE medical services available Monday-Friday 1-5PM on a first-come first-serve basis (pregnancy testing, birth control, pap smears, STD testing, strep tests, etc.)

Counseling: talk to a licensed counselor about coping with stress, depression/sadness, anxiety/worries, alcohol/drugs, s*xuality and gender, work, school, trauma/bullying, or any problem or goal;

Testing: walk-in testing every day for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and trichomoniasis, plus free treatment for positive results;

Case management: finding a place to stay, applying for public benefits, getting vital documents, job readiness and resume development, assistance with hygiene supplies and clothing, etc.

In the end, it doesn’t matter why you come by. You’ll always feel like you belong at the SPOT.
