So thankful for our community partners! We want to give a huge shout out to Rick Coyne and EXIT Oceanside Realty, all the staff, volunteers, and players who contributed to the 5th Annual Golf Tournament for Mental Health! Stay; For Life and The Kita Center were both blessed to be chosen by Rick and team (again) to receive this incredible donation! We wouldn’t be able to do our work without amazing contributions like these. Thank you to everyone involved for seeing the value in the work we do.

We walk the walk and talk the talk
Last week our board, executive director, and Stay; Man to Man Peer Facilitators had an obligatory meeting to attend, to help ensure they are keeping their mental health in check while doing the incredibly hard work they do.
It may not be obvious on the surface level, but the people you see in this picture take on a whooooole lot of mental and emotional workload when it comes to keeping Stay; For Life operating the way it does. We continuously listen to the stressors and troubles of those who are struggling, we listen and support those who are in crisis, we grieve those who we've supported if we learn they are no longer with us, we listen to trauma stories from loved ones who have lost someone to su***de; we validate, we acknowledge, we lend support. It's what we do. It's why we're here.
Dr Kerry Hoag, PsyD, who is on our advisory board, met with us to help us learn more about decompression, grief, and resilience in su***de prevention work. She helped us build the framework each of us needs to ensure we have a safety net for our team. She shared with us different tools and tactics for caregivers of those who are struggling.
Thank you to Dr Hoag for donating her time to us to ensure we are keeping ourselves healthy. And thank you to the team for giving up yet another evening, for the important work we do at Stay; For Life.

Society often labels mental struggles as "crazy” but they are actually entirely human. Just like physical illness affects the body, mental illness affects the brain. It is biology, stress, and lived experience. Not a personal failure.
Together we can drop the outdated labels and lead with empathy. Mental health is health.
