🚨 URGENT REQUEST!
❌ Ask Governor Ayotte to support and protect LGBTQ+ Granite Staters by vetoing SB 268!
☎️ Call: (603) 271-2121

SB 268 enables public and private entities to restrict access to facilities such as restrooms, locker rooms, and treatment facilities based on biological s*x. Supportive environments are essential for the mental health of trans and nonbinary Granite Staters.

In 2025, Governor Ayotte vetoed HB 148, a nearly identical bill passed by the NH legislature. Contact Governor Ayotte's office NOW and ask her to support and protect LGBTQ+ Granite Staters by vetoing SB 268!

Read our new blog post about what it means to stay steady when fear and anger feel justified, and when the world feels unsettled in ways that are hard to ignore. It’s about what happens inside us, and how we reclaim a sense of agency without burning out.

Time alone isn’t lonely—it’s a chance to recharge, reflect, and reconnect with yourself

Lately, a lot of people are telling me some version of:
“Things feel scary and heavy right now, and I’m tired of pretending I’m fine.”

Distress isn’t a sign that you’re weak or “too sensitive.”
In a world that’s genuinely stressful, it’s a human response.

We just published a new post about how to tolerate distress when you can’t magically make it go away. It includes three DBT skills: STOP, Radical Acceptance, and Opposite Action. These are simple, practical, and designed for moments when you already feel overwhelmed.
