What would you say to your younger self if you could go back? 💌

On Tuesday, March 10th, we're hosting a **Journaling & Reflection Session** where you'll write a letter to your past self or your future self(other options available) and discover what themes emerge when you give yourself permission to write freely.

This isn't just "dear diary" stuff. Journaling is a research-backed therapeutic tool that:
✨ Reduces stress and anxiety
✨ Helps you process emotions you've been carrying
✨ Gives you clarity on what you actually need
✨ Shows you patterns you didn't know were there

**And for the first time, we're offering TWO ways to join:**

📍 **IN-PERSON** at Family Services of Dayton
2211 Arbor Blvd, Dayton, OH | 12:00-1:00 PM
Cozy space, coffee provided, write alongside other women

💻 **ZOOM** from wherever you are
Perfect if you have childcare conflicts, prefer your own space, or just want to journal in your pajamas

**This group is for women navigating:**
💚 Postpartum moms, depression or anxiety
💚 PMDD, PCOS, menopause, ADHD
💚 The invisible mental load
💚 Just... a lot right now

**Completely free. No insurance needed.**

📞 **To join in-person:** Just show up!
💻 **To join on Zoom:** Email: jpalmer@fsadayton.org, or comment "ZOOM" and I'll send it to you

Sometimes you just need space to write and women who understand. This is that space. 💌

**Tag someone who needs to hear this.**

MARCH IS SOCIAL WORK MONTH 💚

And we have some incredible social workers to celebrate.

Behind every counseling session at Family Services. Behind every support group. Behind every child who learns they're safe to speak up. Behind every family that finds their path to healing.

There's a social worker.

Our social workers are the heart of everything we do:

→ Providing trauma-informed counseling
→ Guiding families through the Trauma Recovery Center
→ Facilitating support groups where survivors heal together
→ Conducting assessments and safety planning
→ Connecting families with resources
→ Teaching prevention education to protect children
→ Ensuring accessible care for our deaf community

They show up every day with expertise, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to helping our neighbors heal.

They listen when someone finally finds the words.
They stay when healing gets hard.
They believe survivors when others don't.
They see strength where others see brokenness.

For 129 years, social workers have been the backbone of Family Services.

This month, we celebrate them.

To every social worker at Family Services and across our community: Thank you. Your work changes lives. Your compassion creates hope. Your dedication makes healing possible.

💬 SHOUT OUT a social worker who made a difference in your life (or someone you love)
❤️ LIKE to show appreciation for social workers
