June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month.

And the men it’s for? You pass them every day.

The dad who lies awake wondering if he’s getting it right. The guy who’s never had a name for the thing sitting on his chest. The one who smiles all through the workday and only lets it out in the car on the way home.

None of them are telling you. That’s kind of the point.

For a lot of men, “I’m fine” is the only acceptable answer, and carrying it alone gets mistaken for strength. But strength was never the absence of the struggle. It’s what grows when you stop hiding it.

If you saw yourself in one of these faces, that’s not a weakness to manage. It’s a starting point. And you don’t have to carry it alone.

Our Clinical Director, Rasheen Powell, had the honor of serving as a guest speaker at the Blue Bridges Initiative Boys Empowerment Day, and the energy that day was something special.

These boys showed up ready, and that made all the difference.

This is what community looks like. Thank you to Blue Bridges Initiative for the invitation and for the work you pour into our youth every day. We look forward to continuing to build together in the future! 🌱

Meet Dorethea Franklin, LMHC-P 🌿

Her approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practice. More than anything, she's committed to creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported enough to grow.

In her words: "I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to be open and supported enough to grow."

New Purpose Counseling, PLLC hosted its first Sunrise Healing Wellness Session — and what a morning it was.

We were joined by Councilmember Tiffany R. Lewis, who facilitated our community healing circle, and Melanin Moons Wellness Services , who led a Pilates session and explored the connection between mental and physical well-being. Attendees also received complimentary wellness checks.

This is what healing in community looks like. 🌅

Stay tuned — more sessions are on the way. 💚
