October is National Mental Health Screening Month
October is a chance to pause and reflect on what a truly “good” day looks like—for ourselves and for our communities.
Taking a moment to name what supports our well-being can help us recognize when we may need a little extra care, connection or support. As Brené Brown reminds us, “Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.” Small acts of self-awareness and self-compassion can make a difference in how we experience each day.
If you or someone you know has been feeling depressed or anxious more often than not, consider reaching out to a mental health provider. Mental health is an important part of whole health, and mental health conditions are treatable. There is hope and healing. 💚
This month, try writing down what a good day looks like for you—or start the conversation with a loved one or colleague. Shared reflection can strengthen connection and help us create more good days together.
