👥 Let’s talk about the power of connection.
Did you know that social isolation can have a profound impact on both your mental and physical health? It’s about so much more than just a quiet social calendar.
Join our very own Nagnouma Sako on Wednesday, July 15th at 6:00 PM for an important, insightful discussion on the true effects of isolation and, most importantly, actionable ways we can overcome it and build meaningful community.
Your village is out there—let’s talk about how to find it.

🐾 The Dog Ate My Homework: Maslow Edition 🐾

Well, friends, it finally happened. The ultimate cliché came true at Stride Forward Counseling this week. I, Maslow (Certified Very Good Boy and Therapy Dog in Training), partook in a forbidden afternoon snack: Homework 🐕‍🦺📄

In my defense, it smelled like human, and I thought it was a very complex puzzle toy.

But as a therapy dog, I’m all about self-actualization and personal growth. I’ve spent some time reflecting on my choices, and I’m proud to report I’ve learned some big lessons from this setback:

1️⃣ Chewing is not coping. Next time I feel overwhelmed by how cute I am, I will choose my rubber Kong over administrative documents.

2️⃣ Boundaries are healthy. I now know that the top of the desk is a boundary. The floor is my domain.

3️⃣ Accountability matters. I offered my human a sincere “puppy dog eyes” apology, and I’ve been grounded from the waiting room rug for exactly 10 minutes (which felt like 10 years).

We all make mistakes—what matters is how we bounce back! To the client whose paperwork became my chew toy: your new copy is safe from my jaws, I promise.
If you’re having a week where you feel like you messed up, just remember: if a therapy dog can eat homework and still be a good boy, you can handle whatever curveballs life is throwing at you today.

Drop a ❤️ below to forgive me!

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈✨

June is here, which means it’s time to celebrate love, identity, and the beautiful diversity of our community. But Pride is more than just a celebration… it’s a reminder to keep pushing for a world where everyone can live authentically, safely, and proudly as exactly who they are.

To the LGBTQ+, trans, and non-binary community: we see you, we celebrate you, and we stand with you today and every single day. Let’s make it a beautiful month! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
