November is all about honoring and supporting caregivers. It is also National Stress Awareness Day on November 4th. The two sit side by side on the calendar, and for family caregivers, they sit side by side in everyday life too. Nearly 1 in 4 adults in the U.S., about 63 million people, care for a…
On Tuesday, November 3, voters across the country cast ballots in the 2026 midterm elections. If your jaw has felt tight all week, you have plenty of company. In its 2024 Stress in America survey, the American Psychological Association found that 69% of adults named that year’s presidential election as a significant source of stress.…
October 28 is National First Responders Day. In 2017, Congress backed the date to honor the police officers, firefighters, EMTs and paramedics who arrive first when someone calls for help. Dispatchers belong on that list too. They hear a stranger’s worst moment through a headset and stay on the line until the crew arrives. You’ll…

You have more company than you might think. Mental health…
Logan Lynn had been home for four days when he joined us for a Flawless Talk. He had come off a whirlwind tour of advance community screenings for The Pain and The Power, staying after each one to talk with audiences. The tour left him tired but that morning he felt ready to work again.…
During the first full week of October, you’ll see mental health organizations post for Mental Illness Awareness Week. In May, the same accounts post for Mental Health Awareness Month. The names sound nearly identical. Swap “health” for “illness,” though, and you move from the mental health all of us have to the people living with…
October 1 is International Day of Older Persons. The United Nations set the date in 1990 to honor older adults and the lives they’ve built, and you can mark it with something as small as a phone call. Researchers have linked social connection in later life to lower rates of depression and better memory. Your…
