#HappyVeteransDay to all who have served our beautiful nation! @intothelight_us salutes you and your bravery🇺🇸

Mental health remains a challenge among many veterans and service members. Less than 50% of returning veterans in need of help receive any mental health treatment, and approximately 22 veterans die by suicide everyday.

We can all help in changing these statistics and ending the stigma! To learn more visit http://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org/cs/veterans-military

The U.S. public has been warned that we are about

The U.S. public has been warned that we are about to embark on the “hardest and saddest” week in many people’s lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We have also been informed that we have the power to change the trajectory of this epidemic by abiding to stay-at-home measures and social distancing guidelines.

On behalf of the ”Into the Light” family, we wanted to provide you with some essentials which can be pivotal to help keep a positive mindset during this difficult time. The start of April brings us an opportunity to rest our minds and cope by practicing self-care and kindness.
We know these are stressful and trying times. However, we want to share the following tips on how to stay more positive this month: · Take short breaks and remember to go outside for some fresh air
· Stretch, meditate, exercise, do yoga
· Write in a “gratitude” journal to help remind us of what we cherish and appreciate
· Drink plenty of water & eat whole and healthy foods
· Stay connected with friends, family and colleagues
· Listen to music
· Use technology to your benefit (not too much news)! What have you been doing to stay positive during these trying times?

During this COVID-19 pandemic, it’s easy to succ

During this COVID-19 pandemic, it’s easy to succumb to fear in the face of uncertainty and unpredictability.

Yet, despite this uncertainty, experts insist there is still room for optimism.

Please read the link in our bio to learn about the 10 ways Dr. Lerner, a psychologist and author, suggests we can stay centered, refrain from succumbing to our worst fears, and be prepared for whatever the future holds.

Please do your best to remember that similar to other hard times, which seem impossible to overcome, that this too shall pass.

We are beyond honored and humbled to have been given the Unsung Hero award at the 34th Annual ASAP-NJ conference. It was so great to meet so many people working as SACs (Student Assistance Coordinators) and within their programs for advocacy, leadership, and expertise in NJ school systems. We were both amazed and inspired by the different workshops and talks at the conference, and hope to be able to attend in the future! Thank again to ASAP-NJ and @ltodd_21 for supporting our mission! ☀️🌙

“January 23rd, 2020, marks the 5th anniversary of our son, brother and friend Jake Kallen’s suicide in Montana. Not a day goes by without the heaviness of his death touching us.

As a parent, losing a child creates a void that not only remains forever, but you are reminded of it all the time. For me, watching hockey, Jake’s favorite sport, just has lost some luster. We loved going to all his games and schlepping him everywhere.” Please take some time to read the rest of Jake’s story, written by his father, on our website under the “Stories” section.
