WTPOF is continuing our work, and we are grateful to be moving forward together. The season begins soon, and we are looking to fill intern positions now — read on and apply today.

We The People Opportunity Farm (WTPOF) is a paid internship program for formerly incarcerated individuals, rooted in the belief that every person is capable of growth, contribution, and meaningful change. Through hands-on farm work, professional development, and community support, interns gain practical skills, build confidence, generate income, and take real steps toward breaking the cycle of incarceration and rebuilding a life of dignity and purpose.

The program runs April 13 – Nov. 13 (~20 hours/week @ $21/hr). If you or someone you know has been impacted by the “justice” system and is looking for a supportive, purpose-driven environment, we invite you to apply today - and to help us spread the word by sharing this post!

Sexually transmitted infections are incredibly common and nothing to be ashamed of. Roughly one in two sexually active young people will contract an STI before they turn 25. When you use language like "clean" or "dirty," it reinforces harmful stigma.

Getting tested regularly so you can catch any infections early is an important part of taking care of your overall health. If you're ready to get tested, book an appointment at PPMI.org.

Investing time in protecting and improving green spaces is an investment in community mental health as well! Join The Mutual Aid Network of Ypsilanti this weekend to prepare space in Riverside Park for a wet meadow.

-Green space exposure involves immersion in any space that is “green” – forests, fields, or other natural spaces

-Practicing a type of green spaces exposure—forest bathing—may result in reduced cortisol levels, thereby reducing stress

-Developing and maintaining green spaces in cities could effectively promote city residents’ mental wellbeing

-Spending just a bit more time a week in an outdoor green space can improve and support overall population health

-Nearby green spaces represent a flexible and cost-effective mental health resource that is accessible to countless communities.

Get • .sanders.therapy Reminder: Going to therapy is a gift to yourself (and those you love 😝).

While there may be seasons that your mental and emotional health demand you go to therapy, therapy isn’t just about getting certain symptoms or crises under control. Therapy- especially certain insight/depth oriented forms of therapy- can offer you so much more.

Many reasons to go, and even more reasons to stay 🙌🏾
