🧠 October is ADHD Awareness Month, and a good time to reflect on how you can best support the children in your life with ADHD. Every child’s experience is different, but here are a few tips that can help:

✨ Model self-compassion. Kids with ADHD often feel like they’re “too much” or “not enough.” Show them that mistakes and setbacks are a normal part of learning. Practice speaking kindly to yourself so they can see what that looks like.

✨ Focus on strengths. ADHD comes with challenges, but also creativity, energy, and out-of-the-box thinking. Point out and celebrate what your child does well to build confidence and motivation.

✨ Provide structure with flexibility. Routines help, but so does allowing space for adjustment when things don’t go perfectly.

✨ Collaborate with school and community supports. Teachers, counselors, and community resources can be part of your team. You don’t have to do it all alone.

At our practice, our therapists provide ADHD-informed support for kids, teens, young adults, and families. If your family is navigating ADHD and looking for practical, affirming strategies, we’re here to help. To get started, visit our website: autanafamilytherapycenter.com

🌈 National Coming Out Day is this Saturday, and it’s a reminder that your story is yours to share, in your own way, and on your own timeline.

If you’re thinking about coming out to loved ones, here are a few things to keep in mind:

✨ Go at your own pace. There’s no deadline. It’s okay to wait until you feel ready.

✨ Pick a safe person. Start with someone you trust: a friend, family member, or other adult who has shown kindness and support before.

✨ Choose the right time and place. Think about when and where you’ll feel most comfortable: after dinner, on the weekend, in your room, outdoors, or even over text.

✨ Have extra support ready. Line up a friend, family member, or counselor you can connect with afterward to talk more if you need it.

💜 Coming out can feel exciting, scary, or both, and all your feelings are valid. Whether you decide to come out to someone you love now, later, or not at all, your identity is valid and you deserve to feel safe, respected, and affirmed.

If you’d like a supportive space to talk through your identity and relationships, our practice offers LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy for children, teens, young adults, and families, and we are currently welcoming new clients. To get started, visit our website: autanafamilytherapycenter.com

🎵 Soundtrack for the week...🤫

💬 Therapy is most helpful when you can express yourself fully. For many teens and families, that means being able to speak in your first language.

As part of Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the diversity of our community and highlighting that ARISE offers therapy in Spanish with Henry Marcano, one of our caring therapists.

Henry works with pre-teens, teens, families, and young adults, and also specializes in equine-assisted therapy. Whether your family is adjusting to life in the U.S., you’re a teen struggling with anxiety or depression, or you’re a young adult navigating the uncertainties of adulthood, Henry provides compassionate, supportive care tailored to your needs.

🎥 Check out our video to meet Henry and hear more about how he supports clients.

If you or someone you know would feel more comfortable speaking Spanish in therapy, Henry is currently welcoming new clients. To get started, visit our website: arisecounselingcenterandtraininginstitute.com
