We live in a world that often tells us to “be strong,” “push through,” and “don’t let them see you sweat.” But strength isn’t about pretending you’re unbreakable. Real strength is choosing to care for yourself, even when the world expects you to carry it all.

🖤 Protecting your mental health is revolutionary. Seeking therapy is not weakness—it’s healing, resistance, and restoration.

Imagine giving yourself permission to rest. To release. To rediscover joy. That’s the space therapy creates—a space for you to be fully human.

Your story is not over yet, and you don’t have to write the next chapter alone. We’re here to walk with you.

Jummy Kirby, PMH-C, LPC, CMIP, co-founded this initiative alongside two remarkable clinicians, Kevin Hubbard, LPC, CMIP and Cassandra Bolding, LPC, SAP. Together, they created a space dedicated to weaving mindfulness and nature-based practices into therapeutic work within the BIPOC community.

Their upcoming training, “Introduction to Mindfulness & Nature-Based Practices in the BIPOC Community” (6 CE Hours), isn’t just about continuing education—it’s about equipping other clinicians with culturally affirming, nature-rooted tools they can carry into their own practices. The goal is to spark a ripple effect of healing that extends far beyond this one workshop. 🌍💚

📅 Date: September 27, 2025
🕗 Time: 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM EST
📍 Location: Black Lotus Holistic Health Collective
206 Rittenhousetown Ln., Philadelphia, PA 19144

By introducing clinicians to these restorative approaches, Jummy, Kevin, and Cassandra are helping to reclaim ancestral connections to the earth while strengthening how care is provided in diverse communities.

This is more than a training—it’s a movement. 🌱

The words we choose carry power. They can either add to the stigma surrounding su***de or open a path toward compassion, understanding, and healing. When we speak with care, we remind others that their story matters and that hope is always possible. 💚

🕊 Why language matters:
For many years, terms like “committed su***de” have been used. But this phrase links su***de to crime or sin, which deepens shame for those struggling and their loved ones. Shifting our words is a small but powerful way to create safer spaces for healing.

✨ Instead of saying…
“Committed su***de” → say “Died by su***de”
“Failed attempt” → say “Suicide attempt”
“Successful su***de” → say “Death by su***de”

🌱 What this does:
• Honors the dignity of those who have passed
• Validates the struggles of those who have attempted
• Creates language that focuses on healing, not blame

💚 Together we can:
• Use words that support and uplift
• Break the silence that surrounds mental health
• Remind those in pain that they are not alone

This month — and every month — let’s be intentional. Let’s speak with words that heal. 🕊

Let’s do Parent Check-In☺️
As the school year begins, many of us are adjusting to new routines, classrooms, and milestones. Some of your little ones have already started, and others are just getting ready.

Pause for a moment. Take a deep breath. 🌿
This is a transition not just for your child, but for you, too.

It’s okay if you feel proud, anxious, relieved, or even a little sad. These emotions can coexist—and they’re all valid. 💛

📌 Today’s reminder: Don’t forget you in this process. Make time for a walk, a moment of silence, or a breath of gratitude. Your wellness sets the tone for your family.

How are you feeling as the school year starts? Drop a 🌱 or a ❤️ in the comments as a gentle check-in.

Connection Over Coffee ✨

Today we met at Valerio Coffee Roasters – Manayunk for the BIPOC Mental Health Meetup, and it was exactly what we needed. Thank you to Ayana Short for setting this up — spaces like this are so important, especially with how isolating private practice can feel at times.

It was refreshing to share stories, laughs, and support with fellow BIPOC clinicians who truly understand the work we do and the communities we serve.

Here’s to more coffee, connection, and community! ☕💬
