This Mental Health Awareness Month, we are launching our *Healing Without Barriers* campaign to help expand access to compassionate, trauma-informed mental health care within our community. 💚

Every day, individuals and families face anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, emotional overwhelm, and life stressors — often without the support they need or the ability to afford care.

At [A Mindful Change Behavioral Health, we believe healing should never be out of reach.

Your support helps provide:
✨ Accessible mental health services
✨ Trauma-informed care
✨ Emotional wellness support
✨ Resources for individuals and families in need

This month, our goal is to raise $5,000 to support the Mindful Access Fund and help ensure that no mind is left behind.

If you feel led to support this mission, we would be deeply grateful for your donation, your shares, and your encouragement.

Together, we can bring hope, healing, and support to those who need it most. 💚

During Mental Health Awareness Month, we are reminded that mental health matters — for everyone.At A Mindful Change Behavioral Health, we see firsthand how anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, stress, and emotional overwhelm impact individuals and families every day.Too many people delay getting he...

Stop being afraid to be yourself. There is only one you. We get hung up on comparisons. Comparing ourselves to how well or poorly others are doing to get a sense of our own status. This creates insecurity and low self-esteem. The key is to embrace who you are. Yes, we all have areas we need to improve on. That's called being human. Choose to love your humanness, choose to give your frailty a big hug, choose to encourage yourself to be the dynamic creature you were created to be. Life is about choice. Choose to let your true self shine. When we all shine, the world is much brighter!

The greatest myth in life is that we actually have control. Control is an illusion. It does not really exist.

For example, ever get in your car, turn the key, and it doesn't start? Your expectation was that you were getting ready to go. However, for now, you have to figure out what's wrong or call AAA. You are not in control of this very simple thing, starting your car, any longer. Nothing proves to us more than the unexpected events in life how little control we actually have.

We also need to understand that there is a difference between determination and control. I can determine I'm going to get the car fixed, but I am not really in control of when that is done. We learn to adapt and cope through being flexible. Flexibility, (the release of control), allows us to bend and adjust to the present circumstance. Rigidity, (the need for control), keeps us in a position that will eventually cause us to break.

As well, I can determine to do things differently. However, since I cannot control my thoughts, which affect my feelings, I'm not really in control. We have over 6000 thoughts a day, and thoughts activate emotions. The only thing I am able to control is whether I react or respond to my emotional state. Reactions = emotional dysregulation. Responses = emotional regulation.

All of this to say, if I want peace of mind, I must release my attachment to the result, and this opens me up to wholeness. Practicing mindfulness, thinking about what we are thinking, without judging, allows us to stay in the moment and accept that what is, is only "for now". Instead of attempting to take on too much, to control what is, I accept one thing at a time, (even if I have several things coming at me - prioritize. What is most important?), and deal with it. Our minds were not created to multitask, this is control effort on steroids. Allow yourself to heal and grow by practicing psychological flexibility.

“He who has attained the freedom of reason to any extent cannot, for a long time, regard himself otherwise than as a wanderer on the face of the earth - and not even as a traveler towards a final goal, for there is no such thing. But he certainly wants to observe and keep his eyes open to whatever actually happens in the world; therefore he cannot attach his heart too firmly to anything individual; he must have in himself something wandering that takes pleasure in change and transitoriness.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

Emotions are neither good nor bad. They are neither positive nor negative. They ARE comfortable and uncomfortable. When we can adjust our perspective to recognize what I am feeling doesn't make me good nor bad, positive nor negative. What I am feeling makes me aware of what is happening in my psyche and body, and the emotion will give me an indication of what I need to do next. I flush out what that is by approaching it with Wise Mind and then responding, instead of reacting to what I am feeling.

We are continuing to share and ask that you share this fundraiser and ask those you share with to share with everyone they know, and etcetera, etcetera (anyone who has ever seen the King and I knows my reference here). Anyway, we are asking that everyone donate $5.00 not $100 or $1000 but $5 (minimum for gofundme). If we reach 100,000 people we will have achieved our goal. Following the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon concept, we all know each other. If we continue to spread this message and this ask, $5.00 we will far exceed our goal.
Most of us can spare a buck...and more importantly take the few seconds it takes to share this with all you know whether on this platform or another, via email, text, phone call or in-person. Please share as we begin the work of helping the homeless become homed, permanently.
