As we wind down this week, I hope you end strong! If you had a challenging road, remember there is always tomorrow to make things right. It will all be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end.

Be kind to yourself. #dontgiveup #mentalhealth

Boundaries can be little, like not responding to work emails on the weekend. Boundaries can be big, like cutting toxic people out of your life. Give yourself permission to say no, so you can say YES to yourself. Start this week with love and reflection. #MentalHealthMonday

[Kimi Buser-Clancy & Dr. Sam Buser @LeavingValley]

Check out this week's blog! We're talking about how responding to suicides and suicide attempts has a lasting effect on #firstresponders.

#WorldMentalHealthDay We recognize not all wounds are visible. We honor that asking for help is a sign of strength, seeking advice is wise. To those who carry the load & keep going, we see you. To those lost, we mourn you. We work to raise those out of despair into hope.

[Kimi Buser-Clancy & Dr. Sam Buser @LeavingValley]

In order for there to be growth, some stories must end. It's normal to be sad when something we comes to an end. Yet as the seasons remind us, we must shed old leaves in order to sprout new ones.

What chapter ending brought you a new, sweeter story? #fall #mentalhealth

[Kimi Buser-Clancy & Dr. Sam Buser @LeavingValley]

We talk w Fire Capt Shaunfield about what it's like to arrive on the scene of a suicide. There is a cumulative toll to experiencing so many different suicides and suicide attempts that puts First Responders at a greater risk for suicide themselves. #MentalHealthAwareness

#WellnessWednesday "No One Will Miss Me When I’m Gone.” FALSE! No matter what leads to thoughts of suicide, there is simply no way your absence won’t be noticed. Whatever the cause, we grieve when someone dies. Read more, "Complicated Grief of Suicide" https://t.co/rXpw8CNh9c

[Kimi Buser-Clancy & Dr. Sam Buser @LeavingValley]
