This month on the Tillamook Today Podcast, Behavioral Health Clinician Michelle Walters, MA, CIMHP, LMFT, speaks about staying mentally well during the holidays and the darker winter months. She shares practical tips for reducing holiday stress and managing the “winter blues.”

🌧️ What Are the Winter Blues? Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that shows up in fall and winter and often improves as spring and summer return.

💡 Ways to Support Your Mood This Season:
• Check your vitamin D levels. Low sunlight can mean low vitamin D. Talk with a healthcare provider about testing and supplements.
• Try light therapy. “SAD lights” or light therapy bulbs can mimic sunlight and may help boost mood and energy.
• Build supportive routines. Set small goals, keep a schedule, connect with others, and add simple joys to your day.
• Set boundaries. Holiday pressure is real—gift buying, long work hours, travel, cooking, and expectations can pile up. It’s okay to say no and protect your energy.
• Practice healthy habits. Choose one dessert instead of all of them, take a walk with family outside, unplug from social media, or play a game or puzzle together.
• Use gratitude to shift your mindset. Try a gratitude journal or gently interrupt negative thoughts with reminders like, “Maybe I am enough.”

💛 Need Support? The Tillamook County Community Health Centers have four behavioral health clinicians ready to help. 📞 Call (503)-842-3900 to schedule an appointment today.

Take care of yourself this season—you deserve it.

December is National Human Rights Month, and the very last month of 2025!

Human rights are rights that humans have simply because we exist. Human rights include fundamentals, like the right to life. They also include the things that make life worth living, like the rights to food, education, work, health, and liberty. This month, we take time to reflect on what human rights are, why they exist, and express gratitude to those working to make them possible.

Thank you to our healthcare and social service partners, employees, and everyone else protecting the life, health, happiness, and dignity of our community. We wish you well in the new year and look forward to continuing to serve you.

Diciembre es el Mes Nacional de los Derechos Humanos, ¡y el último mes de 2025!

Los derechos humanos son derechos que los seres humanos tenemos simplemente por el hecho de existir. Los derechos humanos incluyen derechos fundamentales, como el derecho a la vida. También incluyen aquellas cosas que hacen que la vida merezca la pena, como el derecho a la alimentación, la educación, el trabajo, la salud y la libertad.

Este mes, nos tomamos un tiempo para reflexionar sobre qué son los derechos humanos, por qué existen, y expresar nuestro agradecimiento a quienes trabajan para hacerlos posibles. Gracias a nuestros socios de servicios sociales y de salud, a nuestros empleados y a todas las personas que protegen la vida, la salud, la felicidad y la dignidad de nuestra comunidad. Les deseamos lo mejor para el nuevo año y esperamos seguir prestándoles nuestros servicios.
