Most resolutions fizzle because they skip reflection and pile on pressure. This blog offers a calmer way to start the year: simple self-reflection questions that help you notice what mattered, what you learned, and what small steps feel doable next. You can journal, record notes on your phone, or talk it through with someone you trust. The goal is not perfection. It is honest check-ins, steady self-care, and choices that fit your real life.

If stress or mood are getting in the way, WTCSB can help you find a next step that works.

Western Tidewater’s Crisis Receiving Center is open 24/7 so you can walk in any time. If you are overwhelmed, struggling with substances, or need a safe place to steady yourself, we can help.

its the last day of the 12 days of self-care! For our final tip, we are going to recommend giving some love to your furry friends. Snuggling with your pets reduces stress and can make your day. Thank you for following along for the 12 days of self-care. Don't forget self-care can happen 365 days a year!🐾

Prevention is not a flyer or a one-time talk. It is how a community learns, connects, and catches problems early so fewer families reach a crisis point. Our Prevention team offers practical tools you can use at home, school, and work: Mental Health First Aid, REVIVE! naloxone trainings, safeTALK su***de alertness, ACEs education, parenting groups like Nurturing Parenting, Strong African American Families, and a Community Coalition that brings neighbors and partners to the same table.

If you want your team, school, or faith community to feel more prepared, start here. We can help you choose the training that fits and get you on the calendar.
