Hey there, Buddy Checkers 🌟 Today, let's come together to celebrate the unsung heroes behind the scenes – our coaches! 🤝👏 We were pleased to read this incredibly inspiring article about Connor Ingram, the resilient goalie for the @ArizonaCoyotes, who faced mental health challenges head-on and emerged stronger. 🧠💪

📖 Check out the full, heartwarming story here: https://www.nhl.com/news/topic/nhl-insider/connor-ingram-finds-footing-as-coyotes-goalie-after-confronting-mental-health-issues

Connor's journey is a testament to the profound impact coaches can have beyond the game. In the face of adversity, Coach John Hynes stood by Connor, providing unwavering support, understanding, and a sense of belonging. 🌈💙

"Your mental health is more important than anything else," Ingram emphasizes in the article. It's a powerful reminder that our coaches are not just instructors on the ice but mentors fostering an environment where players can mentally and physically thrive. 🌟🏒

Let's take a moment to appreciate the coaches who go above and beyond, molding skilled athletes and resilient individuals. 💙🙏 Share your stories of the coaches who've made a difference in your life using #CoachesMakeADifference, and let's spread some positivity and gratitude! 🤗💙 #BuddyCheckForJesse #HockeyFamily #MentalHealthMatters

"We cannot force someone to hear a message they are not ready to receive. But, we must never underestimate the power of planting a seed." 🌱✨

This sentiment deeply resonates with us at Buddy Check for Jesse. Our mission is to foster open conversations about mental health among young athletes facilitated by their coaches. Some athletes may appear disinterested, but we believe in the potential influence of thseeds we sow during these interactions, shaping their futures.

So, let's keep the dialogue alive. Let's maintain our openness about mental health and consistently check in on one another. It's the seemingly small actions that lay the groundwork for a culture of safety, support, and care. 💬💚

To all our Buddy Checkers, thank you for the countless "seeds" you've planted over the years. We remain grateful and inspired by this incredible community. 🙏🌈 #MentalHealthMatters #PlantingSeeds #OpenConversations #BuddyCheckForJesse #SupportEachOther"

The stretch between Christmas and the New Year can

The stretch between Christmas and the New Year can bring a mix of emotions. If you or someone you care about is navigating a tough time, here are five simple ways to offer support during this in-between (and throughout the year!) period. Remember, small gestures can make a big difference! 🤝✨

1. Listen Without Judgment: In this reflective time, lend a compassionate ear without offering solutions. Sometimes, sharing the weight of thoughts and feelings is a gift in itself.

2. Extend Practical Help: Whether it's assisting with post-holiday cleanup or tackling tasks together, practical support can lighten the load during these transitional days.

3. Send a Heartfelt Message: A thoughtful text or handwritten note can be a warm beacon in quieter moments. Let them know they're in your thoughts, and your support is unwavering.

4. Encourage Self-Care: Remind your loved one to be gentle with themselves. Suggest comforting activities and offer to join in, creating positive distractions during this reflective time.

5. 💚 Buddy Check Someone: Take the initiative to reach out during this unique period. A simple "How are you?" can mean the world. Send that text, make a call, or plan a visit. Tag someone you want to buddy check in the comments below! 👇 #BuddyCheck #SupportEachOther #InBetweenDays

Remember, it's okay not to have everything figured out. Your presence and understanding speak volumes. Let's build a supportive network during this in-between time. 🤗💕 #YouAreNotAlone #BuddyCheckForJesse #MentalHealthMatters
