“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes — including you.” — Anne Lamott

✨ Take the pause. Step away from the noise. Breathe, reset, and come back to yourself. Sometimes the best way to move forward is to stop for a moment. 💛

“Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of the rest of you.” – Katie Reed

At Child Guidance Center, we remind our clients, families, and team members that self-care isn’t selfish...it’s essential. Taking time to rest, recharge, and nurture your mental health allows you to show up stronger, kinder, and more present for those who depend on you. 🌿

🌍💚 Today is World Mental Health Day. 💚🌍
Mental health is just as important as physical health and yet, it’s often the part of ourselves we hide. At Child Guidance Center, we believe every child and family deserves a safe place to be heard, supported, and cared for.
This year’s message is simple but powerful: mental health matters for everyone, everywhere. When we come together to break the stigma and open the conversation, healing becomes possible.
💙 Let’s stand united in hope, compassion, and care because no one should ever have to walk their journey alone.

🌿 Take a deep breath. Inhale peace, exhale stress. 🌿

A gentle reminder to pause today even for just a moment. Breathe in calm, let go of what you can’t control, and give yourself permission to simply be.

✨ Your mind and body will thank you.

💛 At CGC, healing speaks many languages.
We speak English, Español, 한국어, Tiếng Việt.
Because family, safety, hope, and healing are not bound by one language.

🌿✨ Healing doesn’t happen all at once...it’s the gentle, steady steps that lead to lasting change. ✨🌿

Each pause, each breath, each small act of care moves you closer to balance and peace. Trust the process. 💙

🛑✨ Setting boundaries isn’t selfish...it’s essential. ✨🛑

Healthy boundaries protect your energy, reduce stress, and create space for what truly matters. By saying “no” when you need to, you’re really saying “yes” to your peace of mind, balance, and well-being. 💙

Protect your mental health and set the boundaries you deserve. 🌿

💙 Being there matters. 💙

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do for a child struggling with their mental health is simply... show up, listen without judgment, offer kindness, and remind them they’re not alone. 🌿

Your presence can be the light they need in a dark moment. You never know what a simple check-in can do in the lives of those around you. Let’s lift each other up, one conversation at a time. ✨
