Radical acceptance isn’t giving up- it’s choosing peace over resistance. Healing begins the moment we stop fighting reality and start meeting ourselves where we are, without judgment. You don’t have to like what happened, but accepting it frees you from being stuck in it. That’s where real growth lives.

April is Autism Awareness Month 💙

A gentle reminder that autism isn’t something to “fix”—it’s something to understand, respect, and embrace. Every autistic individual experiences the world in their own unique, meaningful way, bringing perspectives that make our communities richer and more compassionate.

Awareness is important, but acceptance is powerful. It looks like listening without judgment, creating inclusive spaces, and honoring differences instead of trying to change them.

Let’s move beyond awareness and choose kindness, patience, and genuine inclusion—not just this month, but every day.

Support one another.

There isn’t a fixed or “normal” timeline for healing from a mental health crisis. And that can feel frustrating, but it’s also important, because it means you’re not behind or doing it wrong.

Healing tends to move more like waves than a straight line. Some general patterns people notice:

1. The acute phase (days to weeks)
This is when things feel most intense—overwhelming emotions, instability, or exhaustion. The focus here is usually just getting through each day safely and finding some sense of grounding.

2. The stabilization phase (weeks to a few months)
Things may start to feel a bit more manageable. You might still have hard days, but there are moments of relief. This is often when routines, support systems, or therapy start to help more consistently.

3. The rebuilding phase (months and beyond)
This is where deeper healing happens—understanding what led to the crisis, rebuilding trust (in yourself or others), and creating a life that feels more steady and aligned. This part can take time, and it’s rarely linear.

We're just a couple weeks away from First Friday at Green Connection where we will be showing several local art pieces that were made for the AWAIC safe shelter. We hope you will join us for this free event to show support for survivors of domestic violence. No pre-registration is required, just show up and invite a friend!
