October is Depression Awareness Month🧠

Depression can look different from one person to the next. Sometimes it shows up as sadness, and sometimes it’s harder to name, like feeling tired all the time or pulling away from the things you used to love.

Depression isn't something you have to push through on your own. It is treatable, and our providers are here to listen and help you find your path forward.

April is National Counseling Awareness Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the incredible work counselors do across the nation. In honor of this month our Chief Operating Officer Maggie Tapp, who is also a mental health clinician, has recorded a video to recognize the importance of counseling professionals. We invite you all to watch and share while taking a moment to celebrate the powerful impact counseling has in our lives.

These professionals dedicate their lives to supporting, uplifting, and empowering individuals, families, and communities through some of their most challenging times. These team members provide hope when things feel hopeless and help us all find more peace and joy in life. This month, we not only highlight the vital role counselors play in our mental health and well-being but also encourage everyone to acknowledge and appreciate their hard work and commitment.

A huge THANK YOU to all of our counselors and the counselors in our communities who dedicate their lives to guiding, supporting, and empowering others. The impact you have on your community can not be understated! 💖
