In honor of World Mental Health Day, our founder, Christina Schug, wanted to share a piece of her story and how our practice came to be.

(Trigger warning: s*xual abuse/su***de)

“Part of my story is that I’ve walked the road of healing from trauma myself. I’m a survivor of childhood s*xual abuse and spent years trying to numb the pain in unhealthy ways. Despite a lot of outward success, inside I was struggling—and eventually reached a place where I thought su***de was the only answer.

The morning after my attempt, I found myself at church, and that’s where my journey of true healing began. Through faith, therapy, and the support of others, I began to experience real restoration. Not long after, I felt called to walk alongside others on their own healing journeys.

So, in honor of World Mental Health Day, I want to remind you: no one is ever too far gone. There is a plan and a purpose for your life. Shame doesn’t get the final say. There is help. There is hope. There is freedom. Please reach out—you don’t have to do this alone.”

Maternal su***de is a difficult topic to talk about. Even writing this post wasn’t easy because the reality is so tragic. Yet, as friends and family of new moms, we play an important role simply by showing up and checking in.

Even if a mom seems like she has everything together—ask how she’s really doing anyway.

You might be the lifeline she needs.

"It’s easy to play it off like everything is great, even when we’re struggling so hard. Having friends and family who regularly check in makes a difference when it comes to acting on suicidal thoughts and feelings."
