Today is International Self Care Day

Self care can look and feel different for everyone. It could be moving your body, feeling your emotions, working your brain or connecting to the powers that be. Whatever way you do it, we at BLC hope you take the time to give that moment back to yourself 🌼💚✨

July is BIPOC Mental Health Month 💚

It’s so important to talk about how mental health looks like in these communities. As no two people of color will have the same experience, we must recognize the unique and nuanced challenges folks may face while navigating their mental health or the greater mental health system.

Here are some reminds as to why it matters and giving thanks to Bebe Moore Campbell, as it was named in her honor, to give focus to the strengths, the barriers to care and advocating for better support for Black, Indigenous and people of color✨

Also make sure to check out our stories for resources and folks to follow to better support BIPOC mental health!

Highlights from our July newsletter ♿️👋🏾🌈

July celebrates both Disability Pride and BIPOC Mental Health. The intersection of both of these months happening at the same time reminds us to reflect on progress made, to continue to fight for injustices both legal and systemic and to have marginalized voices heard.

Happy Disability Pride Month!
🩶❤️💛🤍🩵💚

This month we honor the history, achievements, and rights of the disabled community. As therapists, it’s important to recognize how disability plays a role in a clients care, how they navigate the world and what barriers they may face. This should be a month to celebrate identity, inclusion, and equality.

Have you had a moment to take a break?

If not, how can you find the time in the day to do so? What would it mean to give yourself just 5 minutes to breathe and relax? What would it mean to be in the moment?

Sometimes it can be as simple of being outside listening to the sounds, standing in the sun like a plant or walking around the block to visit the little library (or neighborhood dogs). Take the time for yourself to connect to the outside world, only if it’s for 5 minutes. Because you always deserve time for yourself.
