Before the holidays begin, remember that your needs and well-being are still a priority. ❤️

Let this be your reminder that you don’t have to engage in any conversation you don’t want to, you deserve to eat to fuel your body, and that you are allowed to schedule the holidays around your needs.

If you need extra support during this time, we have multiple therapists with immediate availability. Call us today (641-323-2729) or schedule on our website (hopefamilycounseling.net)

Today is International Survivors of Su***de Loss Day

Su***de loss is complex, often complicated, and co-exists with a lot of stigma. Offering genuine and informed support to the survivors of su***de loss is such an important skill to have because su***de affects so many. For survivors, we see you and support you.

Here are a few ideas on how to support your loved one while they grieve and mourn their loss (which never truly ends, it just changes over time).

For more information, we highly recommend American Foundation for Su***de Prevention (afsp.org). If you are in crisis: Call or text 988, or text “TALK” to 741741

Read it, and read it again.

You cannot possibly hate yourself into becoming the person you say you want to be. You deserve and require self-compassion, patience, and love. ✨

November is Native American Heritage Month

Though November is such, we should constantly be honoring the rich traditions, stories, and resilience of those who are native to this land. Uplifting and listening to Indigenous voices, stories, and dark history, while learning ways to advocate for their liberation are a large part of this month’s celebration.

Education is important, action is even moreso. Plan a garden for next spring (paying attention to corns, beans, squash) or learn about the Indigenous peoples who occupied the land you currently live on. Find ways to support them directly. Learn about what laws are negatively affecting the Native community and use your vote and energy to fight for what’s right.
