Muchos de nosotros fuimos criados con la idea de ser siempre fuertes y no mostrar que somos frágiles. 💪 Pero la realidad es que ser fuerte no significa sufrir en silencio. Está bien sentirte vulnerable y pedir ayuda cuando lo necesitas.

Tu bienestar mental es importante, y nadie debería pasar por los momentos difíciles solo. Hablar sobre lo que sientes es un signo de fortaleza, no de debilidad.

Llama al 831-476-7284 Ext. 103 para una cita con nuestros consejeros, o visita communitybridges.org/frc para más información. Si necesitas ayuda inmediata, llama al 988.

Today we remember and honor the service members who gave their lives in sacrifice to our country. Their courage and dedication will never be forgotten.

Memorial Day is also a reminder of the importance of community—of caring for one another and ensuring every person has the opportunity to live with dignity, support, and hope.

As we reflect today, we hold space for remembrance, gratitude, and the families who carry these legacies forward.
