October Mental Health News & Wellness Spotlight
October is a month for recognizing safety, understanding, and timely mental health support. This month, Renewed Perspectives highlights Domestic Violence Awareness Month, ADHD Awareness Month, and World Mental Health Day. These observances remind us that support matters, understanding can reduce shame, and you do not have to wait for a crisis to reach out for help.
Domestic Violence Awareness Month: You Deserve to Feel Safe
Domestic violence can include physical violence, but it can also include emotional abuse, intimidation, threats, isolation, financial control, monitoring, manipulation, and other forms of power and control. If you are experiencing any of these behaviors, what is happening is not your fault, and you deserve to feel safe and supported. Support is available without judgment. The National Domestic Violence Hotline can help you explore options and make a safety plan. Call 800-799-SAFE (7233), text START to 88788, or visit thehotline.org.
You deserve support, safety, and choices. Reaching out to a trusted person or advocate can be an important first step, whenever you feel ready.
ADHD Awareness Month: Understanding the Person Behind the Symptoms
ADHD can affect children, adolescents, and adults in ways that go beyond attention. It may affect organization, time management, emotional regulation, completing tasks, remembering responsibilities, and managing transitions. These challenges can be misunderstood as carelessness or a lack of effort, but understanding is more helpful than judgment.Learning about the person behind the symptoms can lead to more patience, practical support, and stronger connections at home, school, work, and in relationships.
October 10: World Mental Health Day
World Mental Health Day is a reminder that mental health deserves attention before someone reaches a crisis. Anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, feeling overwhelmed, and feeling stuck are all valid reasons to seek support. You do not have to wait until things feel unbearable. Talking with a mental health professional can help you understand what you are experiencing, find ways to cope, and feel less alone. Reach out when you need support.
