As part of our ongoing commitment to promoting mental health awareness, education, and access to resources throughout Flint and Genesee County, GHS is proud to support spaces that foster open dialogue and community connection.

We invite community members to attend, listen, learn, and engage in a space rooted in compassion, honesty, and support. These conversations matter, and they help move our community forward.

Attend in person or tune in live. Let’s work together to stop the stigma and silence the shame.

We are excited to promote an upcoming workshop in partnership with the Community Foundation of Greater Flint, the Ruth Mott Foundation, and Sankofa, led by local racial healing practitioners, Kristin Pollard, Regina Laurie, and Sarah Sullivan. This is a follow-up to conversations sparked during the 2026 National Day of Racial Healing and part of CFGF's ongoing Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT) efforts. During the workshop, attendees will reflect on lessons from the civil rights movement led by Black Americans to inform our response to support civic engagement and democracy today.

- Highlight changes that were made possible when people organized, committed, and embraced courageous civic engagement.
- Explore the concept of Kingian nonviolence and the role it played in creating change.
- Deep dive into one of the principles of nonviolence – building beloved community. How do we do it and why is it important today?
- Support next steps and continued learning and unlearning.

March is here 🌼 and with it comes a softer kind of growth.

🐞 Notice the little good things, they add up.
🌥️ Even on cloudy days, light is still on the way.
🐌 You don’t need to hurry; small steps still count.
🐝 Work hard, but don’t forget to breathe.
❤️ Protect your goals, your time, and your heart.
🌷 Take care of what matters most; it will bloom.

Sometimes we treat life like a race, then wonder why we feel exhausted.
Let this month be your reminder that steady is powerful, rest is productive, and joy is not something you have to “earn.”

If fear shows up, don’t shame it. Just take one tiny brave step anyway, the kind that your future self will thank you for.
Drink water.
Step outside.
Send the message.
Start the page.
Say no.
Say yes.
Breathe.

And if today feels messy, that’s okay too.
You’re not late.
You’re learning.
You’re becoming.
One gentle day at a time.

We are rooting for you, always 🩷

Save this for the days you feel behind, and share it with someone who needs a little spring in their soul 🌸
