Through integrated health and community care, we can provide individuals with support and resources to get better. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of or battling self-injury, call the 988 Su***de and Crisis Lifeline for help or visit the link in our bio.

This National Acts of Kindness Day (Feb. 17), we encourage you to show yourself the same kindness you extend to others by practicing self-care. Research continues to highlight the vital role that self-care plays in maintaining mental health and resilience.

Kindness week is important because it serves as a dedicated time to focus on spreading acts of kindness, which can positively impact individuals and communities by promoting well-being, building stronger connections, and creating a more supportive environment.
