Your mental health is not a luxury or something to get to after the work is done. It’s not a second or third-tier priority. It should be central to how you move through this field.

We work in systems that are sometimes in conflict with the values that brought us here in the first place. The emotional load is heavy. Supporting families, advocating for clients, and navigating ethical dilemmas while constantly being asked to do more with less.

Protecting your mental health isn’t selfish. It’s necessary if you want to do this work in a sustainable, ethical way.

“Look at the differences between a typical preschool child’s hand (left) and a typical 7 year old hand (right). Want to know why a preschool aged child isn’t able to write yet? This is why! Their hands are still developing and are not fully formed. So what should they be doing to support this? PLAY!! Play dough, coloring, cutting, gluing, playing outside, digging in dirt, sensory play, dress up play, science experiments, beading, puzzles, throwing balls, etc.
All of these things help their hands develop. When they are physically ready to write, they will! No need to rush them, they will show you when they are ready.” ❤️
