💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Emotional abuse doesn’t always leave visible scars — but its impact is real.

It can show up as control, manipulation, shame, or fear — often hidden behind “normal” relationships.

If this resonates, know that you are not alone. Healing is possible, and safety is your right.

📞 If you or someone you know is in danger, call or text 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) for the National Domestic Violence Hotline.

Depression doesn’t always look the way we imagine.
It can hide behind busy schedules, anger, or exhaustion — even smiles.
When we understand the many ways depression can show up, we create more room for empathy and healing.

💙 At Chicago Healing Connection, we believe in meeting people where they are — with compassion, not judgment.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you’re not alone.

✨ As Su***de Prevention Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to remind our community: healing is possible, and no one has to carry pain alone. ✨

💛 If you are struggling, you are not a burden. Your story matters. Your life matters.
💛 If you are supporting someone in pain, your presence can make a difference.

Let’s continue the work beyond September—reducing stigma, holding space for grief, and building pathways toward healing together.
