Mostyn Law

September is Su***de Prevention Month. I know it’s almost October, but better late than never, and if there’s one thing you get from this post, I hope it’s that it’s okay to not be perfect.

At Mostyn Law, we talk a lot about family and community. To me, that means showing up for people not only during the good times, but especially during the difficult ones.

Mental health matters. Depression is an illness, not a weakness, and asking for help should never be a source of shame.

Too many people suffer in silence because they’re afraid of being judged, they see it as a weakness, simply don’t know where to turn, or because of the nature of the mental health issues, their minds play tricks on them. We can help change that.

Depression looks like putting off work, not showing up with friends, severe memory issues or trouble focusing, fatigue, and fear.
We can check on our friends, family members, coworkers, and neighbors. We can listen without judgment. And we can continue working to break the stigma, silence, and shame surrounding mental health.

If you’re struggling, please know that you don’t have to face it alone. Call or text 988 to reach the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. And friends and family, this line is for you too. Use it when you don’t know what to do or where to go to help someone you care about.

Sometimes the most important thing we can say to another person is simply: “I’m here. I see you. And you matter.”

It’s okay not to be okay. It’s okay to ask for help.

On September 11, 2001, our nation experienced a tragedy that forever changed the lives of so many. We remember every life lost, and we honor the first responders, service members, and everyday people who showed extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable circumstances.

Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001. A quarter of a century has passed, yet the significance of that day and the lives forever changed by it have not faded. For some, the memories remain vivid.

For a new generation, September 11 is a part of history they have only learned about. It is our responsibility to continue telling the stories, honoring the sacrifices, and remembering those we lost.

In the days that followed, people across our country stood together, supported strangers, cared for their neighbors, and mourned as one. Twenty-five years later, that part of September 11 is worth remembering too. Even in one of our nation’s darkest moments, we were reminded of the humanity that connects us, how deeply we can care for one another, and how powerful we can be when we stand together.

Labor Day is more than the unofficial end of summer.

Labor Day is a day to honor America’s workers and the labor unions that fought to improve the lives of working people. It’s a recognition of the people whose hard work continues to build, strengthen, and move our communities forward.

Today, we honor those contributions. And as Labor Day celebrations continue, we also want everyone to make it home safely.

Historically, Labor Day has been one of the most dangerous holiday periods on America’s roads. A CBS News analysis of federal traffic data found an average of 308 fatal crashes during the Labor Day holiday period from 2011–2015, ranking it second only to Memorial Day among the holidays studied.

That’s why, as you enjoy the rest of your Labor Day whether you’re leaving a cookout, spending time with family and friends, or getting back on the highway—we encourage everyone to slow down, stay alert, put the phone away, and never drive impaired.

Enjoy the holiday. Look out for one another. Make it home safely.

From all of us at Mostyn Law, Happy Labor Day and thank you to the workers who keep Houston and our country moving.

📚 Investing in the Next Generation!

Recently, Mostyn Law was contacted by a first-year law student who reached out because she needed a computer to help her succeed in school.

We were honored to step up and help. Mostyn Law provided her with a computer, along with a little something extra to help with her educational expenses.

Supporting students and investing in the future of the legal profession is especially meaningful to Mostyn Law because of our deep connection to South Texas College of Law. Our very own, Steve Mostyn, was an alumnus of the school, and that connection continues to hold a special place in the heart of our firm.

We believe that sometimes a little support at the right moment can make a big difference. We’re proud to help this future attorney on her journey and wish her tremendous success throughout law school and beyond. 🎓⚖️
