November’s Mental Health Moment
The Power of GratitudeTaking time to notice and appreciate the good things in your life—big or small—can make a meaningful difference in your mental health. Practicing gratitude has been shown to reduce stress, boost mood, and increase overall life satisfaction. Whether it’s expressing thanks to someone who helped you, keeping a gratitude journal, or simply pausing to reflect on positive moments in your day, focusing on gratitude helps shift attention away from what’s lacking toward what’s fulfilling. We encourage you to build gratitude into your daily routine—it’s a simple, powerful way to nurture emotional well-being and resilience.
