Superheroes... UNITE! 🦸‍♀️ We are proud to announce a unique partnership with Frederick County Pediatrics to offer behavioral health services in their local New Market pediatric office. 🦸‍♂️

The Fred Co Kids team has been serving families in this community for decades and recognized the need for therapy services under their roof. After a few years of offering it on their own, they reached out to us recently to evolve and expand their services and we are honored to partner with them!

What does this mean for YOU? 🫵

➡️ If your kids are clients of Frederick County Pediatrics, their doctor can refer them to one of our therapists.

➡️ Our Green Valley Therapy intake team will schedule them for their appointment.

➡️ Our therapists will hold their appointments in the pediatric office you're familiar with.

➡️ If you are on their waitlist, we've started reaching out to get your appointments scheduled.

➡️ Your care team will include your doctor, nurses, and our therapists working together to be sure you have the best care.

Meet Your Superhero Behavioral Health Team (L to R):

Meghan Bailey, Fred Co Kids Practice Manager

Happy Friday! It's time to start thinking SUMMER. Our Connect & Thrive Middle School Summer Camp is the week of 6/23. This dude attended last year and enjoyed hanging out with Ms. Ashley, our lead child therapist, and other kids.

Kids will:
➡️ Learn safe technology use

Wanna help people, but not sure how? We have an idea! First Aid certification to help someone in crisis is a powerful thing!

Mental Health First Aid® is a skills-based national certification course that teaches you to recognize and respond to a mental health or substance use concern or crisis and connect the person in need to appropriate care.

Check out their calendar and see when upcoming trainings are. You might even find grants that can cover your cost!

✨ May the 4th Be With You! ✨

Original post from : "Our view of the world depends on many factors - how we were raised, what we learned from school, and our own life experiences.

This means that everyone’s mindset is different, and so the things that we perceive to be true (i.e. “I am a failure,” “I cannot do this,” “It’s too hard”) are simply our interpretations of our experiences. Others may see the exact same thing but interpret it differently (“You are amazing,” “You CAN do this,” “It’s not that hard”).

So make an effort to have a positive point of view, and see how different your perception of reality becomes."

And we would add:

1. It's OK if you're not OK, especially all the time. No toxic positivity!
2. Try to show understanding to those around you knowing that their truth may look different than yours! 💚

Your experiences shape who you are and what you are is a beautiful, valued human!
