Being present is the present!

Most stress comes from worrying about the future or regrets you cannot fix. Being present grounds you in reality and can create meaningful memories!

Find your joy in the small details this holiday season and see how it lifts your mood.

To all who honor this time of year, may you find the light to see you through.
Happy Winter Solstice and Blessed Yule.

When you cannot find the light in the world, be the light! You can shine for others until others can shine for you.

The holidays aren’t always perfect, and that’s okay. If things feel heavy, you don’t have to carry them alone. Reaching out for help is a sign of real strength. Support is available 24/7 at 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. When you or someone you know needs it, someone’s there to listen.

The holidays can be stressful - so much pressure we put upon ourselves. Today, even for just 5 minutes, give yourself permission to take a Hygge break.

Today, Marie Wenzel, CEO of NAMI DE, and Congresswoman Sarah McBride met with Delaware legislators to discuss extending eAPTCs and advancing two critical mental health policies: the Barriers to Suicide Act and the PEER Support Act.

Proud to advocate for a stronger, more accessible system of care

You survived the turkey and Aunt Madge's mystery ingredient in the stuffing. You survived the deals. We gave you Saturday off. Now it’s Sofa Sunday.
