Presented this morning at the Law and Ethics in Counseling Conference in New Orleans with my colleague and supervisee, Dr. ABG! Our presentation, The Balancing Act: Ethics, Supervision, and the Counselor Educator’s Dual Roles, focused on navigating ethical decision-making in the classroom while balancing professional standards and university obligations. So grateful for opportunities to collaborate with colleagues who’ve become friends.

Today we honor and give thanks to our Veterans who have given so much! This day is personal for many of us here at NRCS because many of our own friends and family members are Veterans. We give our deepest appreciation to all who have served!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

We’re proud to join the nationwide effort to raise awareness about the importance of mental health. May is a time to recognize that taking care of your mental well-being is just as important as taking care of your physical health. Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, stress, or simply seeking personal growth, your mental health matters.

This month, we encourage you to check in with yourself and those around you. Healing starts with a conversation—and seeking help is a powerful first step.

If you or someone you love could benefit from support, we’re here for you. Reach out to us to set up an appointment and take that first step toward a healthier, more balanced life.

You are not alone—and you don’t have to go through it alone.
