3 Ways to 'Harvest' Your Strengths This Fall

Journal it: Write down one thing you did well this week.
Share it: Tell a supporter in your life about a challenge you overcame.
Practice it: Use a healthy coping skill you've learned, just to reinforce it.

Which will you try?

Autumn shows us that change can be beautiful. In my recovery, I've been cultivating self-compassion and resilience. This inner strength is my harvest.

I'm acknowledging my progress today. Every small step forward is a victory worth celebrating.

Happy First Day of Fall! 🍂 Just as the trees let go of what no longer serves them, we too can learn the power of release. In recovery, letting go of old habits, thought patterns, and substances is a courageous step toward making space for new growth. What are you releasing?

Stigma thrives in silence. This #SuicidePreventionMonth, let's get loud with support. 🗣️

Stigma is what makes people feel ashamed of something that is already incredibly painful.

Together, we can create a world where everyone feels safe asking for help.
