Despite what the holiday music says, winter can be a stressful and isolating time. Here are a few ways to help protect your mental well-being this season:
❤️ Setting boundaries on things like socializing or spending money.
📞 Staying connected with the people who make you feel safe and supported.
🥘 Regularly moving your body (like taking a short walk) and eating nourishing food.

Winter can be especially challenging for people with chronic mental health conditions. These conditions include anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
The good news is that you can manage these conditions and productively deal with the stress of the season.
There are ways to plan ahead and cope, and you can start today. Check them out in our newest resource, `Creating Wellness this Winter` at the link in bio.

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. First recognized in 1992 by the UN, this day is an opportunity to celebrate the diverse achievements of people with disabilities and advocate for their rights, inclusion, and equity.
This year’s theme? “Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future.”
People with disabilities — of all kinds — should have the power to lead decision-making on issues of accessibility, inclusion, and representation at all levels. It’s essential that we create spaces where people with disabilities are empowered to shape their own futures.
How can your community, workplace, or organization better support people with disabilities? Let’s think about ways to foster inclusion, accessibility, and belonging for everyone.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.
It is a day to honor transgender and non-binary individuals who lost their lives to violence for living authentically. Transgender Day of Remembrance, or TDoR, also calls on us to offer support to the trans and non-binary communities — and advocate for their safety, visibility, and equity.
To learn how to be an ally on TDoR and beyond, explore our new resource at the link in bio.
