While reality TV usually provides us with examples of what *not* to do, we want to highlight this positive example of pre-party support planning displayed in the most recent season of Love is Blind.

What is you and your friends’ mutual support plan? What safe-word emoji would you use to signal for support? 🛢️

The start of the semester can be an exciting and overhwhelming time. A reminder to not only practice your own self-soothing and self-care, but to connect to community and structural care systems for support as well. Whether it's student-led organizations, counseling and wellness centers, extracurricular clubs, offices of access and equity services, or Greenlight Counseling -- there are spaces where you can find connection and support.

We are three days into Black History Month, and we wanted to honor the occasion with some words from prominent Black women about healing, power, and survival.

Tarana Burke is the founder of the movement and the current Senior Director of Girls for Gender Equity. Her work centers around helping survivors not blame themselves for sexual violence.

Audre Lorde self-identified as a “Black, le***an, mother, warrior, poet,” and she dedicated “both her life and her creative talent to confronting and addressing injustices of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia” (Poetry Foundation).

Maya Angelou was a well-known memoirist, poet, and civil rights activist. In her first memoir, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” she wrote about her experiences with sexual violence as a child.

Part of healing is rediscovering and redefining pleasure. We invite you to spend a few minutes today engaging in something you enjoy, whatever that may be 💚

We’re in the middle of Trans Awareness Week, and Greenlight Counseling is here to vocally support trans survivors of gender-based violence. Trans, non-binary and gender nonconforming folks experience incredibly high rates of sexual abuse and assault. Greenlight Counseling believes and supports survivors all gender identities.
