September is Su***de Prevention Month—a reminder that every conversation matters. 🤍 Talking openly about mental health can save lives. If you or someone you love is struggling, reaching out is a powerful first step. You are never alone. 🌿

How you show up shapes the spaces you enter. Owning your energy isn’t about always being positive—it’s about being intentional. Sometimes that looks like calm. Sometimes it looks like setting boundaries. Sometimes it looks like saying, “I’m not okay.”🌿

🌿 Today is National Grief Awareness Day—a day created to remind us that grief deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. 🌿

Founded in 2014 by grief advocate Angie Cartwright, this day brings light to the fact that grief isn’t something we “get over”—it’s something we learn to carry. 🤍

If you’re grieving, or walking alongside someone who is:
🌿 Be patient—with yourself and others
🌿 Remember that grief can come from many kinds of loss—not just death
🌿 Offer compassion, not timelines
🌿 Support is strength

What is EMDR?🌿
EMDR is short for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is designed to help alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories or experiences.

Often, trauma causes the brain to become “stuck” on a loop of disturbing images, negative thoughts, or difficult emotions. This happens because the brain has not processed memories of the traumatic experience appropriately. Memories get stored in a maladaptive way and make it difficult for you to live freely and adapt to the present moment.

EMDR helps change the way the memory is stored. When the brain changes the way it’s stored, you are given the freedom to feel differently about it.

🌿Back to school series: Encouraging proactive support

Back-to-school stress doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means you’re human.

Whether you're navigating transitions, school-related anxiety, or big feelings you don't yet have words for, we’re here for you.

🌿Back to school series: Ideas to support mental health in daily rhythms

Structure supports wellness — but it doesn't need to be rigid.

As you settle into a new school routine, try adding a few gentle rituals to support mental health:
🌞 Morning check-ins with your child
🕯️ A calming wind-down before bed
📆 A “worry window” to talk about fears

Mental health doesn’t start in crisis — it starts in moments like these.

Lesssons from a Willow Tree

As the wind blows, as storms rage in the world, the willow tree will bend, yet remain strong.

The willow tree knows it cannot control the storms that will come its way; it has learned that being rigid will only allow the storm to break away its beautiful branches. So instead, the willow tree bends with each storm, and when the storm passes the willow tree branches remain. The willow tree will not be broken as the roots of the tree are strong, secure, and keep it grounded and connected to the earth.

With each passing storm, the process of learning about oneself changes and challenges the soul. Working through one’s challenges can be scary, exhilarating and profoundly rewarding. We are committed to the process of healing so you can live a more intentional, deeper life.
