Thanks to several good samaritans this year, we were about to hit a new record and fill 200 Christmas bags for foster youth! We also were able to provide christmas sponsorships to several young families with children.

To all those who dedicate themselves every year to our foster youth we appreciate you! More to come in 2022!!

Today's fundraiser raised $950 for the Chafee program! Thank you to everyone who supported this event!

Knowledge is power. Know your brain!

The amygdala stores every trauma you have ever had. It's job is to shut down the front of the brain which allows you to reason and process... And to turn on the back of the brain which kicks you into flight, fight, freeze response (survival mode).

Sometimes, trauma "memories" kick back in using our the 5 senses. When you feel something that is familiar, your amygdala immediately sends you back into survival mode.

The trick to retraining your amygdala is taking that exact moment to SLOW down your response. Slowing down forces your brain to switch back to the front where you can reason and process.

Questions to ask yourself: Is the trigger the initial trauma? Is my response lined up to the current stressor? Is the response rational or irrational?

The trauma was not your fault, but being aware of the "why" to your current responses will help in healing. Let's talk. ❤
