"Happiness lies not in finding what is missing, but in finding what is present." - Tara Brach


#Mindfulness is being aware of what is happening without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).”— James Baraz


Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. If you're struggling, there are options available to help you cope. Call or text 988 to speak to someone and get emotional support 24/7. Find more support at bit.ly/3qnGiRr.

The CDC is warning of an accelerating #mentalhealth crisis among #adolescents, with more than 4 in 10 #teens reporting that they feel “persistently #sad or #hopeless,” and 1 in 5 saying they have contemplated #suicide. washingtonpost.com/education/2022…


While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for helping a family member who's #drinking too much, using #drugs, or dealing with a #mentalillness, research shows that #family support can play a major role in helping a loved one ➡️ samhsa.gov/families


May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you be safe. May you feel peace. Happy New Year!
