🧠 Mental Health Monday 🧠
Navigating Political and Social Unrest

The world feels heavy right now. Between the constant news cycle, political division, violence, and the fight for basic human rights, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, angry, or numb. For many, especially Black, Brown, q***r, immigrant, and marginalized communities-this isn’t just news. It’s lived experience.

But your mental health matters, even in times like these. Especially in times like these.

Here are a few strategies to protect your peace:

✨ Limit media exposure – Stay informed, but set boundaries. Doom-scrolling isn’t a form of activism, it’s a recipe for burnout.

✨ Move your body – Whether it’s stretching, walking, or dancing, physical movement helps process stress and trauma stored in the body.

✨ Talk it out – Connect with people who get it. Safe conversations can reduce isolation and remind you that you’re not alone.

✨ Give yourself permission to rest – Rest is not a luxury; it’s resistance. It’s a way to reclaim your energy in a world that often demands it all.

✨ Channel your energy into purpose – Whether through voting, volunteering, creating art, or caring for your community, purpose can ground you when the world feels chaotic.

Remember: You are not broken for feeling deeply. You’re human.

Take what you need. Breathe when you can. And know that healing is not passive-it’s intentional, radical, and ongoing.

🖤 Happy Father’s Day from For Us Therapeutics 🧡💚

Today, we celebrate the strength, love, and resilience of ALL fathers and we especially uplift Black fathers, who show up for their families, communities, and children with dedication, wisdom, and heart.

Black fatherhood is revolutionary. It’s tender. It’s powerful.

Despite stereotypes and systemic challenges, Black fathers continue to break cycles, build legacies, and nurture futures.

Whether you’re a biological father, stepfather, bonus dad, mentor, or father figure—you matter. You are seen. You are appreciated.

To all the Black dads showing up with love and presence:
We honor you today and every day.

🧠 Wellness Wednesday: Men’s Mental Health Matters 💪🏾

Let’s talk about it because too often, we don’t.

Men are taught to be strong, to “man up,” to push through the pain. But silence isn’t strength. Carrying it all alone isn’t resilience, it’s survival. And you deserve more than just surviving.

🛑 It’s okay to:
• Feel overwhelmed
• Not have all the answers
• Ask for help
• Take a break
• Cry, grieve, and heal

Therapy isn’t weakness. Rest isn’t laziness. Vulnerability is not a flaw, it’s human.

This week, we’re reminding every man out there: your mental health is just as important as your physical health.

💬 Talk to someone.
🏃🏾 Move your body.
📵 Unplug for a bit.
✍🏾 Journal.
🙏🏽 Pray or meditate.
🤝 Reach out.

Take care of you, because you matter.

Need support? We’re here. 💚🧡

Mental Health Monday: Men’s Edition

Let’s talk about depression.

For a lot of men, depression doesn’t always look like tears or isolation.
Sometimes it looks like silence.
Irritability.
Working 60 hours a week.
Avoiding calls.
Not sleeping or sleeping all day.
Snapping at people you care about, then feeling ashamed right after.

We live in a world that tells men to “man up” instead of speak up. But the truth is unspoken, pain still exists. It just gets buried deeper.

1 in 10 men will experience depression. Many won’t recognize it. Even fewer will talk about it. Too many suffer in silence.

But silence doesn’t equal strength.
Healing does.
Naming what you feel does.
Reaching out does.

If you’ve been feeling numb, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions-that’s not weakness. That’s a signal. You don’t have to wait until things fall apart to reach for help.

This is your reminder: You are not broken. You are not alone. You are not less of a man for feeling this way.

Let’s break the stigma. Let’s talk about it. Let’s heal for ourselves, our families, our futures.

🖤 June is Men’s Mental Health Month 🖤

To every man carrying the weight in silence:
We see you. We honor you. We are here for you.

Men’s Mental Health Month is not just about awareness, it’s about breaking cycles of silence and shame. Too often, men are taught to be strong by not feeling. But strength is not the absence of emotion. Strength is the courage to feel, to ask for help, and to heal.

At For Us Therapeutics, we believe mental health care should meet men with respect, compassion, and cultural understanding. You don’t have to do this alone.
You never did.

Let’s talk about therapy.
Let’s normalize rest.
Let’s celebrate emotional growth.

Because healing is masculine.

🌈 Happy Pride Month from For Us Therapeutics! 🖤

This Pride Month, we honor the strength, joy, and resilience of our LGBTQIA+ community-especially our Black q***r, trans, and non-binary siblings whose identities are often at the intersection of both celebration and struggle.

At For Us Therapeutics, we believe that pride is not just a celebration-it’s a declaration of worthiness. Everyone deserves access to affirming, culturally competent mental health care that acknowledges the fullness of who they are.

Mental health is not separate from identity. For Black LGBTQIA+ individuals, navigating mental health can be uniquely challenging due to the compounded effects of racism, homophobia, transphobia, and historical trauma. This month, and every month, we commit to creating healing spaces where you can show up as your whole self, unapologetically.

To our LGBTQIA+ clients, therapists, friends, and community: you are seen, you are loved, and your mental health matters.

Happy Pride. Keep loving, keep healing, and keep being you. 💛

— The For Us Therapeutics Team

Mental Health Monday Reminder:

You don’t have to be “on” all the time to be worthy.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to be making progress.
You don’t have to carry it alone.

This week, make space for your needs.
Protect your peace. Honor your boundaries. Breathe deeply.

Whether you’re showing up for others or just trying to show up for yourself, that effort matters.

You’re not behind. You’re growing. And healing takes time.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at For Us Therapeutics.

Today, we celebrate Black mothers, grandmothers, aunties, and caregivers whose love, wisdom, and labor have shaped generations. Your strength, tenderness, and sacrifice do not go unnoticed and we honor you deeply.

But we also want to hold space for those for whom today is difficult.

We see you if you are grieving the loss of your mother.

We see you if your relationship with your mother is strained, painful, or complicated.

We see you if you are yearning to become a mother, navigating infertility, or mourning the loss of a child.

We see you if you are a mother doing the best you can while carrying invisible burdens.

However this day meets you—whether it brings joy, pain, or both—you are not alone.

We send you warmth, compassion, and solidarity.

You are held. You are seen. You are loved.

Wellness Wednesday Reminder:

It’s okay to take a break.
You don’t have to earn your rest, and you don’t have to explain why you need it. Your mind and body deserve space to breathe.

At For Us Therapeutics, we believe rest is not a reward, it’s part of the work. Whether you’re holding space for others, managing stress, or simply feeling overwhelmed, pausing is productive.

Today, give yourself permission to unplug, recharge, and reconnect with what you need.

Mental health is not separate from the world we live in.
At For Us Therapeutics, we believe that healing must include the systems, identities, and lived experiences that shape us.

This week’s blog dives into why mental health is a social justice issue—and why culturally grounded, trauma-informed care is not a luxury, but a necessity.

We see you. We hear you. We’re here to support your healing—in full context.
