😊Uplift Your Mood: It triggers endorphins—your body’s natural feel-good chemicals.
🧘♀️Reduce Stress: It lowers …stress hormones, leading to a state of calmness.
🤝Foster Social Connection: It’s a powerful tool to combat loneliness!
Life’s too short not to laugh! 😂

Today is World Mental Health Day! 💚
We’re spotlighting a crucial truth: you can’t care for others if your own cup is half full. This World Mental Health Day, we’re encouraging the professionals who care for us—the therapists, nurses, teachers, and other caregivers—to …prioritize their own well-being.
Why is self-care so important for caregivers?
😴 To Combat Burnout & Exhaustion: Caregiving is an emotionally and physically demanding job.
🩺 For Better Care: A caregiver’s well-being is directly linked to the quality of care they provide.
🏋️♀️ Preventing Physical Health Consequences: Your mental health directly impacts your physical health.
You need to look after yourself in order to bring your full self to the job.
Sweetser’s Training Institute offers workshops designed to help professionals look inward, form best practices, and prioritize their mental health. Many of these workshops can be taken online. Take action for your mental health today!

Ruel Ricker Day at our Saco Campus is an annual day that celebrates Ruel Ricker – Sweetser’s farm manager from 1941 through the 1970s.
Shout to our amazing staff at our school, led by our Director of Education, Kimberly Holmes, for organizing the event, and to our fellow team members …and board members who came to help run the variety of activities and games.
We also had strong support from our corporate partners @unumbenefits and @sbsavings. It was a wonderful day for our students and their families!
Make A Difference!
Sweetser is grateful for our sponsors!
