✨Surviving Summer ✨

✍️ By Liz Holloway, M.A., LCMHCA

Excerpt:⁠
"As I was soaking in my days at the pool with friends, my parents were filled with dread as they saw increased sugar intake, late nights, and no schedule. Before they knew it, it was time again to wake my untrained body for the bus at 6AM. As every summer ended, this routine continued with months of difficult mornings as we begin another school year. "

We are proud to work with so many wonderful organizations and churches in our communities, like Grace Lutheran Church - Hendersonville, NC, to make mental health care more accessible!

Don’t drop the ball on mental health!

At Grace Lutheran Church, we’re working to break the silence around mental health and reduce stigma by offering a behavioral health and wellbeing series. Past topics include: caring for the caregiver, su***de awareness for faith communities and men’s mental health. These programs have allowed people to share their personal stories and connect with others. Join us for our next session on May 21, from 5:30-6:30 PM, when Resources for Resilience will talk about how stress affects us and simple ways to feel better.

Thank you to Hendersonville Family YMCA for passing us the ball. We are passing it to Hope Coalition next! and

Goal: Centering Yourself
⁠
Directions: ⁠
Imagine you are a tree. Lose the leaves that no longer serve you. One leaf might represent "feeling unworthy," and another might be "pleasing others over yourself."

What are your leaves?
