It's been a while since we posted. We wanted to share a Mental Health Matters resource. The MHA (Mental Health Association) has some screening tools on their website. So if you ever wonder, "Am I experiencing anxiety?... Post partum?... Depression?" MHA has some screening tools that may help in our process. Please keep in mind, each of us is on a unique journey, so these screenings are just a generic tool to get you thinking and talking. If you are looking to connect with a therapist, Counseling Works LCSW, PLLC has limited availability. Other resources are therapyforblackgirls.com, cliniciansofcolor.org, psychology today.com are some helpful resources.

Online screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.

Attended a webinar with author & clinician Nedra Glover Tawwab yesterday. She definitely shared lots of gems on breaking cycles of unhealthy family relationships. Thought we share this here too.

It's been a rough few weeks during this really tough year. The injustices to Blacks & the systemic racism in the US has us and so many, feeling tired and exhausted. As you/we contribute to the fight for reform and racial justice, in whichever way you choose to do, have you paused and asked yourself... How am I doing? As we start a new week, reflect on how to take care of YOU! Take a Pause and gift yourself with something priceless! Some "Me Time"! Take a walk, feel the sunshine on your face, pray, take a bubble bath, read a good book, make that appointment you've been putting off, meditate, sign-up for that art class, dance, call your loved ones...whatever brings you some peace & self-care, take that pause time and do it! This article from Self Magazine gives some self-care tips.

It can be a challenge for children to understand what is going on these days. It's tough for adults too! And due to the health care disparities, high density living, racial injustices and inequities for urban Black & Latino, it is even of greater heartaches during this cornavirus pandemic. This children's book was created by Samantha Harris and Devon Scott, two medical students from Southern California, to help children (and adults too) to understand what's going on. Here is an article with info on how to get your free copy. Community & Education Works!
