As we approach September, we’re preparing for a month that matters deeply to us.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month — a time to bring mental health out of the shadows, strengthen connection, and remind every person that their life has value, their story matters, and they are not alone.

At One Red Step at a Time, our mission is simple and urgent:
To foster open, supportive conversations about mental health by uniting communities, breaking down stigma, and promoting education and empathy — one person, one story at a time.

One Red Step at a Time isn’t just our name — it’s our motto and our movement.

Next month, we’ll be sharing stories, resources, reflections, and reminders that healing begins with awareness… and awareness begins with us.

If you or someone you love is struggling, this month is for you.
If you want to learn how to support others, this month is for you.
If you believe in hope, connection, and compassion, this month is for you.

We invite you to walk with us — one red step at a time.

At One Red Step at a Time, we’re always looking for resources that bring mental health out of the shadows and into the spotlight. "Your OCD Will Hate This Book" by Nathan Peterson (OCD and Anxiety Counseling) is one of those resources — and we’re proud to recommend it.

Whether you’re navigating OCD yourself or trying to better understand and support a loved one who may be struggling, this book offers clarity, compassion, and practical tools that make a real difference. OCD is often misunderstood or minimized, and Nathan’s work helps rewrite that narrative with honesty, education, and hope.

Nathan Peterson is a true change‑maker in the mental health community. His commitment to accessible resources reflects the kind of leadership we deeply value — the kind that empowers individuals, strengthens families, and helps communities heal. We’re grateful for voices like his that make it easier for people to seek help, feel seen, and take meaningful steps forward.

This aligns directly with our mission at One Red Step at a Time:

To foster open, supportive conversations about mental health by uniting communities, breaking down stigma, and promoting education and empathy — one person, one story at a time.

We believe that open, honest conversations are the first step toward healing and connection.

We believe every person deserves compassionate, stigma‑free support.

We believe vulnerability is a strength, and sharing our stories empowers others to do the same.

We believe in building a visible, united community — symbolized by red socks — that stands for empathy, education, and hope.

We believe change begins with awareness, and together we can rewrite the narrative around mental health.

What we do is simple but powerful:
We create spaces — online and in person — for mental health conversations, education, and awareness. We produce content, events, campaigns, and recognition programs that spotlight change‑makers and equip individuals to support themselves and others.

Nathan’s book is one more tool that helps people take a step toward understanding, connection, and healing.

If you’re looking for a resource that deepens your knowledge of OCD — or helps you support someone you care about — this book is a meaningful place to start.

Together, we keep moving forward. One red step at a time.

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month.

And the reality is heartbreaking:

According to the Anxiety and Depression Association, men account for nearly 80% of all su***de deaths in the United States. And 60% of men who die by su***de have no documented mental health condition on record.

That means most were struggling in silence.

Not because they didn’t feel pain — but because they didn’t feel permission.

This is the silent factor.
And it’s still happening today.

At One Red Step at a Time, we believe silence is the enemy of healing.

So this month, we’re choosing to talk louder, check in more often, and walk with the men who feel alone in their battles.

If you’re a man carrying more than you let on — or if you love one — this is your reminder:

You don’t have to walk alone.
You don’t have to wait for a breaking point.
You can take one small, intentional step today.

Let’s break the silence.
Let’s talk louder.
Let’s walk together — one red step at a time.

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to say thank you — to everyone who followed along, shared a post, or took one small (red) step toward better mental wellness. Your engagement and care have made this month meaningful.

Mental health isn’t something we honor for just one month.
It’s something we nurture every day — in ourselves, our families, our teams, and our communities.

We don’t have to wait for May to check in, slow down, or offer support.

Every month is an opportunity to notice, connect, and care.

Let’s keep choosing awareness, empathy, and intentional action — one red step at a time.

How much power is in a pair of red socks? Let's find out together.

May is Mental Health Awareness month. This week’s Mental Health Awareness checklist is all about small actions that create meaningful impact. Each prompt is designed to help you slow down, check in with yourself, and support the people around you. Here's the checklist for May 22-28.

How many will you accomplish over the next week?

Here's your daily checklist for the week of May 8-14 to support Mental Health Awareness month.

04/28/2026

It's almost here! May is Mental Health Awareness Month — an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and take small steps that strengthen your well‑being.

To make it simple, we've created a Mental Health Action Calendar with one small, meaningful prompt each day. These aren’t big tasks. They’re gentle reminders to breathe, reset, reach out, and take care of yourself and others in ways that truly matter.

You can print it out or add the prompts to your personal calendar so they’re easy to follow. Do them on your own, with a friend, or as a family or team. Small steps add up.

Here’s Week 1. How many can you do this week — and who can you invite to join you?

If you participate, We’d love to hear your experiences. Share your moments and stories with us using .

April is Stress Awareness Month.

Stress is a normal part of life — it’s how our body responds to pressure, change, and challenge. But too much stress, for too long, starts to take a toll. It drains our energy, clouds our thinking, and makes it harder to show up for the people and causes we care about.

How Stress Impacts Mental Wellness:
- It reduces our ability to focus and make decisions
- It increases anxiety, irritability, and emotional reactivity
- It disrupts sleep, which worsens everything else
- It drains motivation and makes even small tasks feel heavy
- Over time, it can push us toward burnout or withdrawal

That’s why the airplane analogy matters: Put your own oxygen mask on first. It’s not selfish — it’s survival.

This month, give yourself permission to:

- Take five quiet minutes before the day begins
- Say no when your plate is full
- Move your body, even briefly
- Rest without guilt
- Ask for help when you need it

Stress is normal. But living in constant stress isn’t.
Put yourself first. Breathe. Take one red step. You deserve it.

Sometimes the people who seem “fine” are carrying the heaviest battles.

Chris recently lost a colleague to su***de — someone he worked beside, laughed with, and cared about. There were no signs. No warnings. No chance to say, “I’m here for you.” The loss shook him. It shook many.

But Chris didn’t stay in the shock. He turned it into something meaningful.

To honor his friend — and to raise awareness for mental health and everyone who’s struggling silently — Chris set out on a mission: to hike every mountain peak over 4,000 feet in New Hampshire.

Every summit. Every mile. Every climb…he did it wearing red socks.

A symbol of visibility.
A reminder that mental health matters.
A quiet message to anyone hurting: You’re not alone.
And he didn’t stop there.

Chris ran half marathons. He ran 5Ks.

He kept showing up — red socks and all — using his footsteps as a voice for those who can’t speak their pain.

This is what leadership looks like.
This is what love looks like.
This is what honoring someone’s life looks like.

One person.
One story.
One red step at a time.

If Chris’s story inspires you, let it also remind you:
You don’t have to climb a mountain to make a difference.
You just have to notice, care, and take one small step toward someone who might need you today.

And if you are struggling right now — or if someone you love is — you’re not alone. You can call 988 anytime for support. Someone will answer. Someone will listen.
