Yesterday, we talked about understanding our responses. Today, let's talk about the power in our choices.

This journey of "re-patterning" isn't about becoming a perfect person who never feels fear or anxiety. It's about becoming a person who knows how to hold their own hand when they do.

Every time you pause before reacting, every time you take a deep breath, every time you offer yourself a word of kindness instead of criticism—you are practicing. You are taking your power back.

This is what building a new, safer path looks like. It’s not one giant leap; it's a thousand small, courageous steps. We see you taking them, and we are in awe of your strength.

For anyone who needs to hear this today: You are not "too much." You are not "too sensitive." You are not "too difficult."

Finding a place where you can show up exactly as you are is so important for our well-being. At MBIC, we are committed to being that place.

Our doors and hearts are open to individuals facing mental health challenges. The MBIC Clubhouse is a community built on support, understanding, and acceptance. If you are looking for a safe space to land, to grow, and to connect, we’re here.

They aren't a distraction. They're the little bits of air you get.

This week's community restaurant outings were a fantastic opportunity for applied therapy! Here’s a closer look at the specific areas we focused on:

🍽️ Occupational Therapy Skills:

➡ Table etiquette: Practicing utensil use, posture, and how to handle food appropriately.
➡ Community navigation: Building awareness of surroundings and moving suitably in a public space.
➡ Self-regulation: Working on managing responses and behavior in social environments.

🗣️ Speech & Communication Practice:

➡ Ordering food: Clearly stating choices and preferences.
➡ Polite conversation: Engaging appropriately with staff and fellow members.
➡ Asking for help: Requesting clarification or assistance when needed.

🧠 Cognitive & Memory Support:

➡ Recall: Remembering what they ordered or the name of the restaurant.
➡ Problem-solving: Identifying what to do in an emergency (e.g., using phone tools to note locations).

😊 Social-Emotional Development:

➡ Social cues: Understanding personal space and appropriate voice volume.
➡ Group dynamics: Practicing taking turns and respecting a group setting.
➡ Confidence: Gaining self-assurance in public and social interactions.

These outings provided invaluable real-world practice, and our members also enjoyed the simple joys of inclusion, trying new things, and navigating a public space with dignity. We’re so proud of their engagement!

Your support helps us make these enriching experiences possible all year long. Thank you!
