A Time for Renewal, Recovery, and Self-Care

The start of a new year is often seen as a fresh beginning—a time to reflect, set intentions, and

take meaningful steps toward personal growth and wellness. January is not just about

resolutions; it’s about renewal. It’s a chance to prioritize mental health, embrace self-care,

and seek the support needed to create lasting change.

This year, January also marks the first-ever National Substance Use Disorder Treatment

Month (SUDTM), launched by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services

Administration (SAMHSA). This initiative aims to raise awareness about the benefits of

evidence-based treatment for substance use disorders and ensure that more people have

access to life-saving resources.New Year, New Intentions: Prioritizing Mental Wellness in 2025

As we enter the new year, many of us feel the pressure to set big resolutions—but true change

starts with small, sustainable steps. If you’re looking for ways to support your mental health

and well-being in 2025, consider these intentions for a healthier you:

💙 Practice Self-Compassion – Be kind to yourself. Growth takes time, and perfection is not

the goal—progress is.

📝 Set Attainable Goals – Rather than overwhelming yourself with drastic changes, focus on

small, meaningful adjustments to your daily routine.

🧘 Prioritize Mental Health – Therapy, meditation, journaling, and mindfulness practices can

help build resilience and reduce stress.🔗 Build a Support System – Whether it’s friends, family, or a professional network, having

people to turn to can make all the difference.

🚀 Seek Help When Needed – There is no shame in asking for support. Mental health and

substance use treatment are available and effective.
