Today is World Su***de Prevention Day — and we believe prevention starts with compassion, not barriers.

But the reality is heavy: this year alone, states introduced over 600 anti-LGBTQ+ bills, many targeting trans youth. (ACLU) These policies don’t just exist on paper—they create real harm for real people.

We also know the numbers:

-39% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered su***de in the past year.

-That number climbs to 46% for trans and nonbinary youth. (The Trevor Project)

-In the U.S., over 49,000 lives were lost to su***de in 2023. Globally, it’s more than 720,000 each year. (CDC, WHO)

-In the U.S., su***de is the 2nd leading cause of death among people ages 10-14 and among people ages 15-24, and the 11th leading cause of death overall.

Behind every number is someone’s child, sibling, partner, friend. Which is why we share this: stigma, silence, and policy barriers cost lives. Connection and affirming care save them.

💛 If you need support (save/share):

• 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline — call/text/chat 988 (24/7)

• The Trevor Project (LGBTQ youth) — 1-866-488-7386, text START to 678-678, or chat

• Trans Lifeline (peer support) — 877-565-8860

• Ozone House (Washtenaw youth) — 734-662-2222

If you or someone you love needs support or a warm hand-off to care, please reach out. The truth is: we can’t stop the world from hurting. But we can promise this -- Hive will always be a place where you’re treated with dignity, compassion, and humanity. We see you. You matter. 🫶

🌟 Hive Wellness Collective is Hiring! 🌟

We’re looking for a rockstar Administrative Assistant (remote) to join our growing team. This role is perfect for someone who is organized, warm, and loves variety in their workday. Hours start at 5-8 per week with the likelihood of increasing to upwards of 10-15 in a few months as our team's needs increase. Pay is $22/hour to start.

✨ What we’re looking for:
✔️Responsive & reliable – Daytime availability (between 9am-5pm) during the week to respond to client inquiries (emails/voicemails) within 24–48 hours and follow through on deadlines.

✔️Organized & adaptable – Skilled at juggling multiple priorities, staying on top of details, and thriving in a role that mixes consistent weekly tasks with new, one-off projects.

✔️Warm & client-centered – The kind of person who makes people feel cared for immediately, whether over the phone or in an email.

✔️Self-starter – Comfortable running with tasks independently once trained, whether it’s verifying insurance benefits or pulling together marketing materials for an upcoming community event.

✔️Trustworthy teammate – Someone who can be a right hand, handling details confidently and helping Hive run smoothly behind the scenes.

💻 This is a remote role, but it does require a private, distraction-free environment where client information can be handled securely and reliable childcare if you have little ones at home.

We’re excited to find someone who not only fits these skills but also genuinely wants to be part of Hive for the long haul.

📩 Interested? Send an email to amanda@hivewellnessco.com with your resume and a little about why you’d be a great fit.

Come join us in helping make mental health support feel more human. 💛

🧠 Therapy shouldn’t be a luxury.

If you’ve been putting it off because of a high deductible, no coverage, or not knowing where to start — we get it. That’s exactly why we’re so excited to introduce Michael, our newest intern at Hive Wellness Collective.

While Michael is a therapist-in-training, he brings over 20 years of real-world experience to this work — having spent two decades as an elementary school teacher supporting kids and families through life’s hardest moments. He’s also someone who’s done his own healing work around childhood trauma — which means he gets what it’s like to be *in* it, not just talk about it.

Michael works with kids, teens, and adults who are navigating trauma, big emotions, addiction, or simply feeling overwhelmed and stuck. His approach is focused on making meaningful change — not just surface-level fixes — that fit your life and help you move toward a more peaceful and empowered future.

✨ $25 sessions
🩺 Accepts straight Medicaid (green mihealth card)
💻 Virtual across Michigan
🌙 Evening & weekend availability

🚨 Ever had that moment where your kid gets an ADHD or autism diagnosis… and suddenly your entire childhood makes sense? Yeah. That.

You weren’t lazy. You weren’t too sensitive. You weren’t bad at life.
You were neurodivergent in a world that didn’t know how to support you.

👉 Looking back, you see the missed signs. The labels that never fit. The struggles no one helped with. The way you forced yourself to be “normal” because you didn’t know there was another way.

And now? Now you’re learning that your brain isn’t wrong—it was just misunderstood.

💡 Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about finally understanding yourself. Letting go of the shame. Learning what actually works for your brain.

And if you need support in that process? We got you. 💛
