“My hand is at the small of your back; I may let you stumble, but I will never let you fall.” — Maya Angelou

January is Mental Wellness Month, a time to honor emotional care, healing, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. Dr. Angelou reminds us that we are not meant to navigate life alone — that support, love, and compassion can hold us steady even when we falter.

Caring for our mental well-being is not a weakness. It is an act of courage, trust, and self-preservation.

You are allowed to stumble. You are never meant to fall alone. 🤍

Today is International Day to End Conversion Therapy (IDECT) 🏳️‍🌈

Conversion therapy is the dangerous, discredited practice of attempting to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.

Research shows that youth subjected to conversion therapy are more than twice as likely to attempt su***de.

Together, we can educate ourselves, support efforts to end conversion therapy, support LGBTQ+ mental health, and remind everyone that they are accepted exactly as they are. 🌈 🫶

If you or someone you know is struggling during this time, dial 988, reach out to The Trevor Project lifeline by texting "START" to 678-678, or visit afsp.org/lgbtq for support. You are not alone, we promise.💙ce

Proud to be a social worker!

THE BEAUTY OF A SOCIAL WORKER
The beauty of a social worker lies in their ability to see humanity beyond circumstances, labels, and limitations. They recognize worth where others overlook it and stand for dignity where it is threatened.

In choosing compassion over judgment and service over comfort, a social worker transforms hardship into hope and challenges into opportunities for healing.
