Christina had the opportunity to volunteer at Kearney Middle School Career Day this week and talk with 6th graders about what it’s like being a therapist. 💛

The students had great questions and were so engaged! We love getting to support mental health awareness and encourage kids to consider the possibility of becoming a therapist as they start thinking about their future careers!

You can’t keep doing the same things and expect your life to feel different.

We see this a lot. It's human nature to try to stick to what's comfortable.

People know something isn’t working…
but they keep responding the same way
staying in the same patterns
avoiding the same things

And then feel frustrated that nothing is changing.

At some point, something has to shift.

Not perfectly. Not all at once.
But something.

A conversation you’ve been avoiding.
A boundary you’ve been putting off.
Actually asking for help instead of pushing through.

That’s where change starts.

If you’re ready to do something different, therapy can help you figure out what that actually looks like 🌞

Connected Families Counseling was honored to both sponsor and participate in the recent Poverty Simulation Event in partnership with the Kearney Food Pantry and the Kearney Family Foundation.

This experience gave a small glimpse into the daily realities many families in poverty face. Most were legitimately scrambling to get their tasks done. We overheard many people saying during the simulation how overwhelmed they felt while trying to juggle responsibilities like going to work, paying utilities, buying groceries etc.

We were proud to help sponsor this event and support greater awareness in our community. Thanks also to the other sponsors below who helped make it possible!

Paradigm
Southern Bank
Turn Key Realty KC
Kearney Family Chiropractic Center
Tracy Tucker - State Farm Insurance Agent
Kearney Trust Company

What we are reading Wednesday featuring our admin Emily! We love how much care Emily has for our clients and people in our community!

"I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how to live in a way that helps others feel safe, secure, and truly valued in their interactions with me. At its core, my hope is that everyone who connects with me feels a sense of home.

As the administrator for Connected Families, I’m often the first person you speak with when you begin considering our practice. My hope is that in taking that first step toward well-being—for yourself or your family—you feel seen, you feel safe, and you know you’ve been welcomed into a space where growth is genuinely supported." - Emily

If winter has you feeling a little blah, you are not alone. Short days and cold weather can take a toll on mood and motivation. Having support can make a big difference, whether you are dealing with stress, burnout, or just feeling stuck.

And yes, we are here for all 6 weeks 😁

What we are reading Wednesday featuring our kids/teens therapist Brittany!

Book: The Gardener and the Carpenter by Alison Gopnik

"What I love about The Gardener and the Carpenter is how it reframes parenting as a relational process, not a performance.

It’s helpful because it centers connection and secure attachment; reminding us that children thrive not when we control outcomes, but when we create safety, consistency, and room to grow."
