Wellness Wednesday is here! This week, we're offering tips about what you can do if you're looking to get a good night's sleep, which can improve your mental health. Here's what can help: * Avoid caffeine in the afternoon. Caffeine can stimulate your nervous system and keep you awake. It can also take your body several hours to process the caffeine. * Wind down with a calming activity. That could mean taking a warm bath, listening to music, reading a book, doing a jigsaw puzzle, filling in a crossword, etc. * Stick to a sleep schedule. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, including weekends and when you travel. Most adults need at least seven hours of sleep a night. This helps keep your circadian rhythm, also known as your body clock, on track. #heartlandfamilyservice #mentalhealth

Today, August 26, is Women's Equality Day in the United States and Heartland Family Service proudly recognizes its significance. It is celebrated to commemorate the 1920 adoption of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits the state and federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens based on sex. In the U.S. and around the world, women are still fighting to be seen, to be valued and to live a life of their own choosing. Heartland Family Service celebrates diversity and equality in our employees, partners and each person who walks through our doors.

Heartland Family Service congratulates Brad Joseph (second from the left) for his hole-in-one at this past Friday's Safe Haven Golf Tournament. It's not often someone records an ace, but he did just that at the third hole at Eagle Hills Golf Course in Papillion. For a prize, Joseph gets to choose between Revo Polarized Performance Sunglasses or a $1,000 credit to spend at revo.com. #heartlandfamilyservice #golftournament #holeinone

It's Wellness Wednesday time! This week, it's about what you can do to treat problem gambling addictions. Here are some tips: * Set goals: Setting short-term goals will help you stay serious about cutting down on or giving up gambling. * Avoid high-risk situations: Don't carry large amounts of money with you when you're out and about. * Talk about it: Find someone who won't judge you and can help you remove stress. * Find alternatives to gambling: Search for an activity that will keep you engaged and focused on something other than gambling. #heartlandfamilyservice #wellnesswednesday #overcomingchallenges

Thank you very much to everyone who stepped up to support Heartland Family Service's latest Safe Haven Golf Tournament on Friday, August 16! Your generosity raised $38,655 for Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault services as well as the Safe Haven concealed emergency shelter. That money will certainly make a difference in the lives of many. As always, even though the tournament is now behind us, we encourage you to assist Heartland Family Service by donating year-round. Remember, every dollar helps. #heartlandfamilyservice #golftournament #support

Wellness Wednesday is here! This week, we're offering tips about what you can do to treat substance use addictions. Here's what you can do to help yourself or someone you love: * Avoid temptation and peer pressure: Develop healthy friendships and relationships by avoiding friends or family members who pressure you to use substances. * Examine the risk factors: Look at your family history of addiction. The more you are aware of your biological, environmental and physical risk factors the more likely you are to overcome them. * Keep a well-balanced life: Develop goals and dreams for your future. These will help you focus on what you want and help you realize that drugs and alcohol will simply get in the way and hinder you from achieving your goals. #heartlandfamilyservice #wellnesswednesday #overcomingchallenges

It just opened within the last two weeks and is going to help a lot of people in need of emotional support.
