Hello, 2026! 🎆

Your goals do not have to be big to be meaningful. Progress can look like showing up, creating routines that support you, or giving yourself something to look forward to each season.

Small intentions and moments of anticipation can have a powerful impact on mental wellness. Growth happens one step at a time, especially when goals honor where you are right now.

As the year unfolds, remember that caring for your mental health is always worth prioritizing and never selfish. 🤝

Happy New Year from Us All at Arise!

Today, we honor International Human Rights Day by reaffirming something at the core of Arise Behavioral Health. Every person deserves dignity, safety, and the chance to thrive. Our work is grounded in the belief that mental wellness is a human right, and that supporting individuals in crisis strengthens the communities we all share.

At Arise, we meet each client with respect, relationships, and care that sees the whole person, not just their symptoms. 🤝

As daylight hours shorten, many people notice changes in mood or energy.

If the days are starting to blend together, simple grounding habits can help. Try keeping a consistent wake time, opening your blinds first thing in the morning, and adding small moments of structure like a warm drink, a short walk, or checking in with someone you trust. Journaling and staying connected to supportive relationships can also ease symptoms of seasonal affective disorder.

If you’re feeling low this winter, you’re not alone. Support is available, and brighter days are ahead! Arise Behavioral Health is always here to help. 🫂

The holiday season can bring connection, joy, and tradition, but it can also bring stress, pressure, and difficult family dynamics. It’s completely valid to honor your needs during this time. One way to protect your emotional well-being is by creating a plan that helps you navigate moments that feel overwhelming.

Start by noticing what tends to trigger stress for you during the holidays. It may be family conflict, conversations about food or weight, political discussions, or pressure around relationships. Once you understand what affects you, you can set healthy boundaries that support your peace and allow you to stay grounded.

Boundaries are not about distance or disconnection. They are about creating emotional space so you can show up in ways that feel safe and manageable. Your boundaries might include stepping away from tense conversations, avoiding certain topics, or choosing to leave early if the environment becomes overwhelming.

At Arise, we encourage you to listen to your needs, trust your limits, and give yourself permission to protect your peace. You deserve a holiday experience that feels supportive, calm, and aligned with what you need.

Kindness has the power to heal, connect, and remind us that we belong to one another. 💚

At Arise Behavioral Health, we believe that every act of compassion, big or small, can spark change. Whether it’s offering a listening ear, checking in on a friend, or showing yourself grace, kindness creates space for healing.

Do one small act of kindness today and watch how it ripples through your community!

Today, we honor the courage, commitment, and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans and the families who stand beside them. 💚

Your service protects more than freedom; it strengthens the bonds of community and the spirit of resilience we all depend on. We see the quiet strength it takes to serve and the love it takes to come home, rebuild, and continue caring for those around you.

At Arise Behavioral Health, we are deeply grateful for every veteran and family who has given so much. Whether you wear the uniform or support someone who does, your story matters.

This Veterans Day, we celebrate you for your service, your strength, and your humanity. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do.

Halloween is all about fun, connection, and community! 🎃💚
With recent cuts to SNAP benefits, some families may be struggling to access groceries and essentials. Adding shelf-stable snacks or non-perishables alongside your candy is a simple way to show care and support neighbors in need.

Consider adding:
🍏 Applesauce pouches or fruit cups
🍪 Granola bars or animal crackers
🥨 Mini pretzels or popcorn bags
🧃 Mini water bottles or juice boxes
🍜 Instant noodles or macaroni cups

Kindness can be the sweetest treat of all.
