Today, we are delving into a topic that has become increasingly prevalent in modern parenting discussions: "Mommy Wine Culture." This term refers to the social norm that encourages mothers to use alcohol to cope with the stresses and demands of parenting. While it may seem harmless to unwind, it's important to recognize the potential dangers and underlying issues it can mask. Postpartum can increase the risk of alcohol use due to added stress and isolation, with 1 in 5 mothers experiencing a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder and 40% of mothers experiencing postpartum depression going undiagnosed.

Not all pills are safe. Fake pills are disguised as other medications but made with fentanyl – and 7 out of 10 contain a deadly amount of it. The only pill you can trust is one prescribed to you by a medical professional, filled at a licensed pharmacy, and taken as directed. A pill may look real, but #YouNeverKnow To learn more about what you need to know about fentanyl, visit youneverknowjoco.org

Happy International Self-Care Day! Self-care isn't just about pampering ourselves with face masks and spa days (though those are nice too!). True self-care means setting boundaries, saying "no" when necessary, asking for what you need, taking breaks, getting a full night's sleep, and seeking therapy. It's about nurturing your mental and emotional health, not just indulging in temporary pleasures. #SelfCareDay #InternationalSelfCareDay #MentalHealthMatters #WellnessWednesday

With so much going on in the world right now, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The constant stream of news, the pressures of election season, and the everyday stressors can weigh heavily on us. To help manage this, it’s important to focus on what we can control and let go of what we can’t. Remember, you have control over your actions, reactions, and how you spend your time. But things like the economy, weather, and other people's actions are beyond our control. By concentrating on what we can influence, we can find more peace and resilience in challenging times. Take care of yourself and reach out if you need support 💚 #MentalHealthMonday #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness
