Navigating the struggle of suicide prevention involves seeking
support from friends, family, and professionals. Finding
helpful tools such as the Embracing Life App (Scan the QR
code in our Ad) or finding other immediate assistance sources
are key to prevention, along with therapy which provides
coping strategies, and staying connected to help combat
isolation. Educate yourself about warning signs, whether it be
for yourself, a loved one, a child in need, create a safety plan,
encourage professional help. Remember, you are NOT alone—
reach out. Prioritize safety, seek help, and work towards a
healthier, more hopeful tomorrow. Embrace life!

It is necessary to provide ongoing support and education, teaching coping skills to get through the Winter Blues in a healthy, non-destructive manner.

A gluten-free diet excludes gluten, found in wheat, barley, and rye, and is crucial for those with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or wheat allergy. Avoiding wheat-based products like bread and pasta, opting for gluten-free grains like rice and quinoa can relieve symptoms and prevent complications, for some it aids in weight management and raises awareness of healthier food choices. Be cautious of cross-contamination and check labels for gluten-free certification. Focus on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and naturally gluten-free grains. Gluten-free alternatives are available for common foods.
