A graphic from United Nations reminds us today is World Mental Health Day.

Mental health matters today and every day. Let’s continue to break the stigma, encourage open conversations, and remind one another that asking for help is a sign of strength. Everyone deserves to feel supported, heard, and valued. 💚
✨
Check in with yourself. Check in with others. You never know how much a simple conversation can mean.

Depression can affect one in five adults and one in six youth aged 6 -17 each year.

October is National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month. It is a good time to increase your understanding of the signs and symptoms of mental health issues. This graphic comes from The National Institute of Mental Health (NIH) discussing what to look for with depression.

Everyone feels sad or low, but these feelings usually pass. Depression is different and has severe symptoms that affect how people feel, think, and act. Learn the signs and symptoms of depression, how it is diagnosed, treatments, and ways to get help.
Please know that support is available for you or others, and that seeking help is a sign of hope and strength.

October is bullying prevention month. These graphics came from the National Bullying Prevention Center.

Bullying is a community-wide issue that must no longer be ignored or thought of as a rite of passage. Every child has the right to feel safe and supported. Every state has bullying prevention legislation and most schools have bullying prevention policies.

Bullying directly affects a student’s ability to learn. Students who are bullied often do not want to go to school. They may find it difficult to concentrate, show a decline in grades, and lose self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-worth.

Football season is in full swing! As we enjoy the excitement of the game, it is also important to be aware of how easily sports betting can become part of the experience.

Sports betting may seem harmless or just part of the fun, but frequent betting can lead to financial stress, strained relationships, and other challenges.
This season, keep the focus on the game not the gamble. Enjoy the football, cheer for your team, and make healthy choices along the way.

September is Self-Care Awareness Month
Self-care is about making time for the things that support your overall well-being physically, mentally, and emotionally. It does not have to be complicated or time-consuming.

Small, intentional choices can make a difference.
🍁Take a break
🍂 Stay hydrated
🍁 Prioritize rest
🍂 Get some movement
🍁 Take a break from your screen
🍂 Connect with someone you trust
🍁 Make time for something you enjoy

This month, take a moment to check in with yourself and ask: “What do I need today?”

Sometimes, a simple check-in can make a bigger difference than we realize. During Su***de Awareness Month, let us remember the importance of reaching out, listening without judgment, and letting others know they are not alone.

You do not need to have all the answers. Be present. Be willing to listen. Be a source of support.
A small moment of connection can help someone feel seen, heard, and cared for. These graphics come from NAMI, a great resource for all.

🐾 OC Paws and Pause 😌

Our first monthly wellness event of the school year at Oakland Catholic High School was filled with wagging tails, smiles, and a little extra light! Students and staff had the opportunity to spend time with three wonderful therapy dogs, take a break from the school day, and participate in our “Leave a Little Light” activity. Students shared the people, places, activities, and little moments that bring them joy, hope, and make life feel a little brighter.

Spending time with a therapy animal can provide comfort, encourage connection, create a calming moment, and simply give someone a chance to pause and smile. Sometimes, a few minutes with a friendly pup is all someone needs to make their day a little brighter.
