Y’all know this is a holiday BREAK, right? Make it a real one. Your joy matters.

✨ You don’t have to attend every function. Rest is resistance. ✨ You’re not behind. Healing moves at your pace. ✨ Boundaries honor your ancestors, protecting your peace is wisdom. ✨ Community counts, even in small doses.

Save this. Share it with someone who needs permission to rest. 🧡

🧡 We are deeply grateful to Rudolph for courageously sharing his story and for the powerful work he’s doing as a REBUILD Therapist Connector, supporting justice-involved community members along their healing journey.

After 20+ years of incarceration, Rudolph received 10 therapy sessions through REBUILD. Rudolph is truly a GIFT. He dedicates his time to helping others access the same gift of mental health care. His journey is a true testament to the power of healing and community.

Your support makes this possible. Donate today to help more of our community members like Rudolph find hope, healing, and a fresh start.
