Suicidality is much more than the moment of crisis. It’s often a chronic, recurring experience for many people. When we jump into su***de prevention with crisis intervention, we are missing a huge part of the story.

Su***de is complex and cannot be solved by one intervention. Learn how to listen without trying to solve it. Sit in the dark and discomfort for a moment, instead of trying to convince or explain their pain away. Be aware of the language you use surrounding su***de.

Su***de prevention is severely limited if it does not address basic human needs like stable housing, community, access to quality health care, and time to rest. One person cannot hold the responsibility of su***de prevention. It belongs to us all, and to the systems that uphold this suffering.

September is National Su***de Prevention Month. Anyone who has been impacted by su***de loss or suicidality knows how complex and isolating it can be. May we continue to have these conversations, especially beyond this month. ♾️

Happiest birthday, Bethany! 🥳

We are wishing you the best day, full of doggo and kiddo love (or maybe even a moment of quiet just for you!) 🥰🥳💕

Disenfranchised grief refers to the losses that are not socially accepted or acknowledged. ❤️‍🩹

The loss of a pet is one example many of us can recall. Even the death of a friend might be met with limited recognition, making one feel that it is not valid to mourn so deeply.

Not all disenfranchised grief requires the death of a person, but can occur after many types of losses. Miscarriages, a loved one with dementia, the childhood you never had (e.g., late-diagnosed neurodivergence, q***r folks, traumatized individuals)

Society does not get to put a limit on the depths of your pain. These losses are real, and your grief deserves to be acknowledged. 🫶🏻

📚💕 Meet Morgan 💕📚

Morgan is a graduate student in the Master’s of Social Work program at the University of Northern Iowa. We are excited to welcome her as a clinical intern at Hope Family Counseling!

Some may recognize her lovely face, as she previously interned with us during her bachelor’s degree and worked for us over the summer as an administrative assistant. The knowledge and experience she gained during that time, paired with her ongoing studies, offer her a unique perspective on the mental health field.

Morgan believes in creating a space that empowers each individual’s authentic self. Her trauma-informed care specialization, which is a foundation of the graduate program, offers a knowledgeable, safe, and caring baseline for each of her clients. 

We are very lucky to know her, and looking forward to seeing her grow even more, personally and professionally.

Back-to-school can be a time of excitement, but also include nerves or increased stress. 🤓😖

Whether it’s your student’s first day of Kindergarten, your adult child’s senior year of college, or just a “typical” back-to-school experience , this day can bring so many emotions. Happiness, relief, pride, anxiety, guilt, and even simple dread.

We see you, we are with you, and we want to remind you (caregivers and students) that you’re allowed to have a difficult relationship with this life transition. Stress management and increased support can go a long way. (You know where we are if you need us!)

Wishing you a supportive school year ahead. 📚✏️📓
