Families in the Quad Cities are experiencing loads of uncertainty going into this holiday season and we all know uncertainty is painful--more so when it affects food and paycheck security.

We'd like to support those in our community and over the next month, we'll be matching any donation made to the Foster Cares Fund with a donation to Riverbend Food Bank in Davenport and NEST Cafe in Rock Island.

Contributing what you can means that you'll fund access to FREE mental health counseling services AND feed families in the Quad Cities. Let's do what we can to lessen some of the burden of this time and brighten up the holidays for our neighbors!

If you cannot donate, please consider sharing! If you can donate, please do so here: https://givebutter.com/FosterCaresFund with the words "QC Counselor Match" in the Message area of the donation screen.

We'll stick to our day jobs! :)

Hope you and your family have a wonderful Halloween weekend and remember, there's nothing spooky about going to therapy! From becoming your own exorcist of negative self-talk, to stopping the tricks our minds play on us, and even treating ourselves to some well deserved self-care, therapy has something to offer us all!

Lindsay Hohertz, Owner of Harmony and Health PLLC and associated therapist with QC Counselor, was interviewed by Local 4 News recently about QPR Training and its role in su***de prevention!

Preventing death by su***de is a year-round effort but especially during this month, it's great to see information being shared and stigma continuing to break down. Su***de prevention is all of our responsibility and QPR is a great way to equip yourself with the tools to respond effectively to someone in need.

We are 1 week away from this great training opportunity and seats are still available!

Responding when someone voices suicidal concerns or reaches out for help is a challenge and if we don't know what to say, we may opt to say nothing. This training will equip you with the skills to respond empathetically, effectively, and to connect a struggling person with the resources they need to reconnect with hope and keep living.

All proceeds will go to the Foster Cares Fund which provides FREE mental health counseling services to anyone in the community that needs.

Love and Belonging are some of our fundamental human needs and you can help by practicing curiosity instead of judgment, offering kindness instead of harshness, and promoting acceptance to all those around you. Plus, it's free and benefits you, the giver as well as the recipient :)
