Social media can keep us connected—but it can also leave us comparing our lives, absorbing bad news, worrying about what others think, or feeling like we’re never doing enough.

If scrolling is leaving you more stressed than connected, give yourself permission to step away.

Put down the phone. Take a walk. Call someone you love. Sit somewhere quiet. Give your mind a little space from everyone else’s world.☀️

You don’t have to be available to everything, all the time.
And if stress starts to feel overwhelming, call or text 988. We’re here to listen, 24/7.

Before you rush into the weekend, check in with yourself.
Are you tired? Overwhelmed? Carrying something from this week that you haven’t had time to process?

You don’t have to spend the weekend catching up, being productive, or pretending everything is fine. Give yourself permission to rest, disconnect, talk to someone, or simply have a little quiet.

Take care of yourself this weekend—not just your to-do list.
And if you need someone to talk to, call or text 988. We’re here 24/7. 💚

A medida que se acerca la temporada de incendios, es posible que las empresas de servicios públicos deban cortar el suministro eléctrico como último recurso para garantizar la seguridad pública cuando existe un mayor riesgo de incendios forestales. Esto se conoce como corte de energía por motivos de seguridad pública o PSPS. Llame al 211 para saber cómo prepararse para un evento de PSPS.

As fire season approaches, utility companies may need to turn off power as a last resort to ensure public safety when there's an increased wildfire risk. This is known as a Public Safety Power Shutoff, or PSPS. Call 211 to learn how to prepare for a PSPS event.

It May Look Like It’s About Food. But It Can Be So Much More. 💚

An eating disorder can be connected to anxiety, depression, loneliness, or a need to feel in control.

If thoughts about food, your body, or exercise are taking up more and more space in your day, you may be carrying more than others realize.

You deserve to feel better. You deserve support.

If you’re struggling and need someone to talk to, call or text 988. We’re here to listen, 24/7. 💚

Septiembre es el Mes Nacional de la Prevención del Suicidio, un momento para ir más allá de crear conciencia.

Es un mes para aprender a reconocer las señales de alerta. Hacer las preguntas difíciles. Estar pendientes de quienes nos rodean. Escuchar un poco más. Compartir recursos. Hablar abiertamente sobre el suicidio. Y saber qué hacer cuando alguien necesita ayuda.

La prevención del suicidio no es solo responsabilidad de los consejeros de crisis o de los profesionales de la salud mental. Todos tenemos un papel que desempeñar, y este mes es una oportunidad para estar mejor preparados.

A lo largo de septiembre, compartiremos información, recursos y maneras en las que puedes ayudarte a ti mismo, a un ser querido o incluso a alguien que quizás no te hayas dado cuenta de que está pasando por un momento difícil.
Aprovecha este mes para aprender más, hablar más, escuchar más y ayudar más.

Si tú o alguien que conoces necesita apoyo, llama o envía un mensaje de texto al 988. Hay ayuda disponible las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana. 💚

September is National Su***de Prevention Month, a time to go beyond awareness.

It’s a month to learn the warning signs. Ask the harder questions. Check in with the people around us. Listen a little longer. Share resources. Talk openly about su***de. And know what to do when someone needs help.

Su***de prevention isn’t just the work of crisis counselors or mental health professionals. We all have a role to play—and this month is an opportunity to become better prepared.

Throughout September, we’ll be sharing information, resources, and ways you can help yourself, someone you love, or someone you may not even realize is struggling.

Use this month to learn more, talk more, listen more—and help more.

If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988. Help is available 24/7. 💚

During National Wellness Month, take a moment to check in with yourself.💚

Are you getting enough rest? Making time for people who make you feel good? Setting boundaries when you need them? Giving yourself permission to ask for help?

Wellness doesn’t require changing your entire life. Sometimes it starts with one small choice—taking a break, going outside, calling a friend, saying no, or simply acknowledging that you’re having a hard day. 🌿

Make caring for your mental and emotional well-being part of caring for you.

Las pequeñas preguntas sobre tu hijo pueden convertirse en grandes preocupaciones. 💚

¿Debería estar hablando más? ¿Es normal este comportamiento? ¿Está alcanzando los hitos de desarrollo esperados para su edad?

Cuando estás criando a un niño pequeño, es natural tener preguntas sobre su desarrollo, y no tienes que buscar todas las respuestas por tu cuenta.

Help Me Grow conecta a las familias de Contra Costa con niños de 0 a 5 años con evaluaciones del desarrollo, recursos comunitarios y apoyo para ayudarte a comprender mejor las necesidades de tu hijo.

A veces, lo que necesitas es tranquilidad. Otras veces, puede ser una conexión con apoyo adicional. De cualquier manera, hacer preguntas a tiempo puede marcar una gran diferencia. 🌱Llama al 211 para obtener más información.

Little Questions About Your Child Can Feel Like Big Worries. 💚

Should they be talking more? Is this behavior typical? Are they reaching milestones when they should?

When you’re raising a young child, it’s natural to have questions about their development—and you don’t have to search for all the answers on your own.

Help Me Grow connects Contra Costa families with children ages 0–5 to developmental screenings, community resources, and support to help you better understand your child’s needs.

Sometimes reassurance is what you need. Sometimes it’s a connection to additional support. Either way, asking questions early can make a difference. 🌱Call 211 for more.
