💊 Today is National Check Your Meds Day!

Take a few minutes to review the prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements in your home:

✅ Update your medication list
✅ Check expiration dates
✅ Ask your pharmacist about possible interactions or questions
✅ Store medications securely
✅ Use an authorized take-back option for unused or expired medications

Keeping an up-to-date medication list can help reduce medication errors and harmful interactions, while take-back programs are the preferred disposal method for most unused or expired medicines.

Prevention includes taking simple steps today that can protect our health, families, and communities tomorrow.

Bullying prevention takes all of us. By encouraging open conversations, modeling empathy, recognizing warning signs, and speaking up when someone is being mistreated, we can help create safer, more supportive schools and communities for every young person.

Explore resources, activities, and ways to get involved through PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center: https://www.pacer.org/bullying/nbpm/

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we recognize that mental health is essential to the well-being of individuals, families, and communities. By encouraging open conversations, reducing stigma, and connecting people with support, we can help create healthier, more resilient communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Let’s continue to prioritize mental health, not just today, but every day.

10/07/2026

: Prevention isn't just about reducing risk, it's about building strength.

Protective factors are the conditions that help people thrive and lower the likelihood of substance use and mental health challenges. The good news? We can all help build them.

When we strengthen these, we build resilience that lasts a lifetime.

It's Mental Illness Awareness Week, a time to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and remind one another that mental health is health.

Millions of people live with mental health conditions, and recovery is real and possible. The more openly we talk about mental health, the easier it becomes for people to reach out and get the support they deserve.

This week, you can:
✔️ Check in on someone you care about
✔️ Challenge stigma when you hear it
✔️ Share mental health resources
✔️ Remind others that help is available

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline—free, confidential, and available 24/7.

: As Recovery Month continues, remember, recovery restores every aspect of life.

If daily life feels harder than usual, you don't have to figure it out alone. Support is available, and taking the first step is a sign of strength, not weakness.

SAMHSA's FindSupport.gov is a great place to start. It helps you understand what you're going through and find the right resources and care.

Recovery isn't a straight line, it's a journey of small steps, and every step counts.
