Be gentle with yourself this holiday season.

Try reframing how you think about “change.” Here are some ideas. 💡

Creating partnerships within your community can strengthen and support youth mental health and suicide prevention. The Blueprint for Youth Suicide Prevention from the @AmerAcadPeds and @AFSPnational, lists numerous ideas to get you started. Learn more: aap.org/suicideprevent…

This month let's put our focus on the practice of #patience. It's a great way to #choosetobenice!

Today is National Inspire Your Heart With Art Day. Go ahead and get creative! Grab some fun rocks, paint them up with messages of kindness and leave them at your neighbors’ doorsteps. @theKindnessrock #kindnessrocksproject #choosetobenice

Reward yourself for small victories. Set goals and celebrate when you reach them. Have you added exercise to your weekly routine and worked out every day as planned for the last couple of weeks? Treat yourself! Watch a movie you’ve been wanting to see or try out a new video game.

Live virtual event happening on 10/27 at 7 pm. Registration will open soon, but you won't want to miss this with @harlancohen @drtagorman @DRB_85 @RidgewoodHS
