Su***de is the 11th cause of death in the United States. In 2023, 49,316 people died by su***de, one of the highest numbers ever recorded. Men are nearly four times more likely to die by su***de than women. Some groups face even higher risk, including American Indian and Alaska Native men and men over age 75. Fi****ms were the most common method, involved in more than half of all su***de deaths. Millions of adults think about or attempt su***de each year, and nearly half of Americans say they know someone who has died this way.

Even though these statistics from the CDC and the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention are daunting, su***de is preventable. Talking openly about mental health, checking in on friends and family, and encouraging people to seek help can save lives. Small actions like listening without judgment, offering support, and helping someone connect to resources can make a big difference. Communities, schools, workplaces, and families all play a role in creating hope and reducing risk.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available right now. In the United States, you can call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline 24/7. Veterans can press “1” after dialing 988 to connect with the Veterans Crisis Line. You can also use the Lifeline’s chat option at 988lifeline.org. For young people, the Trevor Project (866-488-7386 or text START to 678-678) offers 24/7 support for LGBTQIA+ youth.

Please visit the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention website (also.org) for more information about where to volunteer or how to help increase awareness. If you are struggling, please reach out to us, a friend, a professional, or anyone you trust. Help is available, sometimes the hardest and most important part is asking for it. You are never alone.

Happy Monday! Today we wanted to share some thoughts about control, letting go, and accepting uncertainty.

When we have so many things going on around us, it can sometimes feel like we need to control everything to have some sort of order in the midst of chaos.

Although control can provide comfort, the constant pressure to control everything can lead to mental exhaustion. As this new week starts, here is a reminder that some things do not have to be perfect, and that you will be okay if things fall out of your control. You are worthy of peace.

Swipe to learn about accepting uncertainty, including the difference between truthfully letting go versus only avoiding. Let us know if you have any questions!

Happy Thursday! We hear a lot about the nervous system or the “fight, flight, freeze” responses, but how does the nervous system actually work and what do these responses mean?

Understanding the nervous system and what it’s trying to tell us can help us understand ourselves. Every signal shapes how we feel, respond, and regular emotions.

Learning the science that goes on in your body can be used as a tool for deeper learning of our emotions. If this interests you, let us know so we can share more info that resonates and is useful to you ☀️

We have exciting news!! We want to offer the warmest welcome to our newest member of the Holistic Solutions team, Rebecca Kelley! We are so excited to have you. Here’s a little background to get to know Rebecca:

“I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Texas A&M University–San Antonio in 2014 and earned my Master’s in Counseling and Development from Lamar University in 2024. As a dedicated and caring counselor, I am passionate about supporting both children and adults through life’s most challenging experiences.

Much of my professional experience has been centered on the impacts of childhood trauma on the family unit as a whole. I have had the privilege of working with clients ranging in age from 4 to 70, and I deeply value the opportunity to create a safe, supportive space for each individual. I strive to build genuine connections that allow clients to explore their struggles without fear or judgment.

At the heart of my practice is a belief in the healing power of genuine human connection. My approach to counseling recognizes the deep interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. My work integrates emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness, helping clients build resilience and reconnect with their inner strengths.

I approach counseling with empathy, trust, and a deep respect for each individual’s unique journey. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they move toward healing, growth, and wholeness.”
