The holiday season is here, and it is important to remember that it does not feel joyful for everyone. If this time of year feels heavy or overwhelming for you, that is completely okay.
This season, we encourage you to put your mental health first. Protect your peace in whatever ways you need, and give yourself permission to slow down, rest, or reach out for support. You are not alone, and your well-being matters.
How will you honor your mental health during the holidays?

This GivingTuesday, give hope to families in Jamaica who are still fighting to rebuild after Hurricane Melissa. 🇯🇲💚
One week after the storm, many communities are still without roofs, food, clean water, or electricity. Entire families are living in damaged homes or small concrete shelters. Some have not received any formal aid at all.
Your generosity can help provide the most urgent needs:
🌧️ Roof repairs
🍲 Food and supplies
🛏️ Safe shelter
💡 Essential materials for rebuilding
Every contribution matters. Even a small donation can help a family feel safe again.
If you have been looking for a meaningful way to give today, please consider supporting this fundraiser. Your kindness will directly support families like Julene’s who lost everything and are still waiting for help to reach their remote community.
GivingTuesday is about coming together to make a difference. Today, your gift can rebuild hope. 💛

We are so grateful for the incredible generosity shown so far. Together, we have raised $3,973 toward our $20,000 goal.

Just because it’s the holiday season, it doesn’t mean we need to ignore our needs or betray ourselves for the sake of others. Holiday boundaries ensure our physical, emotional, and financial health.
During the holidays, you have the right to:
🍃 Rest
🍃 Not celebrate
🍃 Set boundaries
🍃 Decline invitations
🍃 Spend time alone
🍃 Honor your needs
🍃 Spend time with who you want
🍃 Choose who you spend time with
🍃 Not discuss topics that make you uncomfortable or triggered
🍃 Not disclose more than you want to about your life
🍃 Not spend more money than you are able

This Thanksgiving, as many of us gather around warm tables and full plates, thousands of families affected by Hurricane Melissa are struggling to rebuild what was lost. Homes have been destroyed, communities uprooted, and everyday necessities; food, clean water, and safe shelter are still out of reach for so many.
Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on what we’re grateful for but it’s also a moment to extend that gratitude outward. Your generosity today can become someone else's hope tomorrow.
With a single donation, you can help provide:
Emergency shelter for families who have nowhere to go
Hot meals and clean drinking water
Essential medical supplies
Long-term recovery support to rebuild homes and livelihoods
While we give thanks for safety, comfort, and community, let’s make sure those values reach beyond our own homes.
Please consider making a Thanksgiving donation to support Hurricane Melissa survivors.
Together, we can help families recover, rebuild, and look toward a brighter season ahead.
Do you feel a sense of dread or anxiety about spending time with family this Thanksgiving? You’re not alone. Many feel the weight of family dynamics this season. Imagine stepping into the holidays equipped with coping skills to protect your peace and handle difficult emotions. At NewPoint of View Counseling, we’re here to support you. You deserve love, joy, and the freedom to feel at ease. 💚
Take the first step toward a more peaceful season.
From Claudette 💚💛🖤
I want to share the story of Julene Humphrey, one of the many survivors of Hurricane Melissa and one of the people this fundraiser will help.
As the hurricane tore through Jamaica, Julene sheltered inside her home with her son, daughter, and baby granddaughter. She watched in horror as trees were uprooted, livestock were swept away, and her refrigerator was hurled through the air. Even her pet pig was lifted and tossed by the raging winds. Then the unthinkable happened when the roof of her home was ripped away.
In desperation, Julene and her family ran through the storm searching for safety until they found refuge in a small concrete bathroom. Weeks later, that is still where they live because their home remains without a roof.
Julene lives in a remote area of Jamaica where help has not yet arrived. With your support, we hope to replace her roof, even if it is just for one room, to give her family shelter, security, and dignity once again.
This Thanksgiving season, please open your hearts. Every donation helps rebuild not only homes but hope.
💚 Thank you for standing with Jamaica and with families like Julene’s who are still fighting to recover.

Be intentional with your plans this holiday season. 🌿
If you go in unprepared, you might find yourself repeating the same patterns and emotions from years past.
Change starts with awareness — and you have the power to create a more peaceful, meaningful holiday experience. 💙
If you’re spending time with family this year, remember:
✨ It’s your holiday too, and your needs matter.
✨ Setting boundaries ahead of time can help prevent last-minute tension.
✨ You don’t have to do everything alone — it’s okay to ask for help.
✨ People will show up as themselves. Consider that before accepting or extending invites.
✨ If a conversation starts heading off course, choose calm over reaction.
✨ Know your limits and have an exit plan ready.
Protecting your peace doesn’t make you distant — it makes you intentional.
How do you stay grounded during the holidays? ✨👇

From Claudette 💚💛🖤
As many of you have seen, Hurricane Melissa (a Category 5 storm) has devastated my beloved Jamaica. Generations of families have lost everything overnight. Homes, crops, and livelihoods are gone.
This includes my own childhood home, now completely destroyed. It’s been heartbreaking waiting to hear from loved ones, and while I am grateful everyone is safe, the stories coming out of Jamaica are devastating.
People are homeless, hungry, and struggling to survive, and the world’s attention has already moved on. But the need is still so great.
I’m asking from the bottom of my heart: please help in any way you can. Every single dollar counts and will go directly toward rebuilding lives and restoring hope.
From my heart to yours, thank you for your compassion, prayers, and generosity.
— Claudette 💚

Letting go of toxic family members can feel overwhelming, but prioritizing your mental health is essential for a balanced, fulfilling life. 🌿
Toxic relationships drain your energy, disrupt your peace, and create emotional and even physical stress. It’s okay to protect your peace and set boundaries. 💙
Here’s how to start:
✨ Acknowledge the Pain: Allow yourself to feel hurt and recognize that this relationship isn’t healthy for you.
✨ Set Clear Boundaries: Decide what behaviors you will and will not accept, and stay consistent with those boundaries.
✨ Seek Support: Reach out to a therapist or a support group for guidance and encouragement.
✨ Focus on Healing: Give yourself time to process your emotions and reconnect with your sense of self.
Remember, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Our compassionate therapists at New Point of View Counseling are here to support you every step of the way. 👉 https://newpointofviewcounseling.com/
