💙 Feel Good Friday 💙

This week, hearts everywhere were touched by a powerful moment on ESPN.

Dan Orlovsky’s 14 year old son, Madden, who is autistic, joined him on live TV for World Autism Awareness Day. What followed was not just a segment. It was a celebration of love, individuality, and joy.
https://www.today.com/parents/dads/dan-orlovsky-son-madden-viral-espn-world-autism-awareness-day-rcna266584
Madden proudly shared his artwork, sang his favorite team’s fight song, and reminded the world what it means to be unapologetically yourself. His dad was brought to tears simply watching his son shine.

Moments like this matter. They remind us
✨ Every child has unique strengths
✨ Connection goes beyond words
✨ Acceptance creates space for people to truly shine

Let’s continue to celebrate neurodiversity, not just this month but every day.

💬 What is something unique about you or someone you love that deserves to be celebrated today?

April 9 is National Alcohol Screening Day 🍃

Taking a moment to reflect on your relationship with alcohol is an important step in caring for your mental health. Alcohol can impact mood, sleep, stress levels, and even symptoms of anxiety or depression—sometimes more than we realize.

A quick, confidential screening can help you better understand your habits and decide if any changes could support your well-being.

💡 Checking in with yourself isn’t about judgment—it’s about awareness and support.

If you or someone you love may be struggling, you’re not alone. Help is available.

👉 Take a free, anonymous screening:

📞 Need support locally? Reach out—we’re here to help.

Therapists make a difference every single
day 💚

They hold space for others, help people navigate
challenges, and support healing in ways that often go
unseen. Their work requires compassion, patience, and
deep care—and it changes lives.

We love this reminder from our friends at
about taking time to appreciate the therapists who
support our communities all year long.

If a therapist has supported you or your family,
consider sharing your gratitude 💬
https://hopenoted.com/therapistappreciation/

If you need help connecting with a therapist, contact
one of our advocates at 717-397-7461.
