🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride Month Folx! Pride 2026!
What is Pride Month?
🏳️‍🌈From the Library of Congress: “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Q***r (LGBTQ) Pride Month is currently celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan.
🏳️‍🌈The Stonewall Uprising was a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. In the United States the last Sunday in June was initially celebrated as "Gay Pride Day," but the actual day was flexible.
🏳️‍🌈 In major cities across the nation the "day" soon grew to encompass a month-long series of events. Today, celebrations include pride parades, picnics, parties, workshops, symposia and concerts, and LGBTQ Pride Month events attract millions of participants around the world.
🏳️‍🌈The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that le***an, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.
🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈
Compass Wellness is dedicated to providing a safe, affirming, and high-quality therapeutic environment for LGBTQ+ individuals.

💐Happy Mother’s Day to the women who carry so much, often silently. In the world of mental wellness, we recognize that 'mothering' is not just a role, but a continuous act of emotional regulation, empathy, and sacrifice.
💐To the mothers doing the brave work of raising the next generation with emotional awareness: we see you. Whether you are healing from your own past or building a new foundation of love and safety, your dedication to your family’s mental health is a lasting legacy. Today, we celebrate your resilience, your patience, and the quiet power of your presence.
💐 Today, we honor the strength it takes to show up for others, while gently reminding you that your own heart needs tending, too. May you find a moment of peace today that is just for you
💐Mother’s Day can hold a spectrum of emotions—joy, longing, gratitude, and even grief.
💐Today, our practice honors every version of motherhood: the biological mothers, the adoptive parents, the grieving hearts, and those who provide maternal warmth in unconventional ways. To anyone who has ever played the role of a 'safe harbor' for another soul: thank you for your immense contribution to our collective healing.

Mother’s Day often arrives with a heavy coat of pink paint, but for many, the reality is far more layered. It’s okay if tomorrow feels less like a celebration and more like a day to navigate.

Whether you are grieving a relationship, processing a difficult upbringing, or finding your own path through the complexities of parenting, your feelings are valid. You don't have to force a smile or subscribe to a narrative that doesn't fit your life.

Finding Your Space Tomorrow

Acknowledge the Duality: It is possible to feel love and resentment, or gratitude and grief, at the same exact time. One doesn't cancel out the other.

Set Digital Boundaries: If scrolling through "perfect" tributes feels draining, give yourself permission to stay off social media for the day.

Redefine the Day: If the traditional meaning doesn't serve you, focus on self-care or honoring the "chosen family" who has supported your growth.

"You aren't required to perform joy for a holiday that doesn't reflect your lived experience."

A Gentle Reminder

To the person struggling with the "shoulds," the person mothering themselves, and the person holding space for what’s missing: You are seen. There is no right or wrong way to get through today. Be kind to yourself.

05/07/2026

To the one pouring all their love, hope, and resilience into a dream they haven't yet held in their arms: You are already mothering. Infertility requires extraordinary courage, patience, and perseverance.
Every appointment, every decision, and every moment of continued hope is proof of your strength. This tough day does not erase your value, and this holiday does not define your story.
You are navigating something incredibly difficult, and that is worthy of recognition. Be gentle with yourself, celebrate your resilience, and know that your story is still unfolding.

Here are some things to consider when the day comes up:

1. It's ok to opt out of celebrations if this feels too overwhelming. Traditions aren't obligations.

2. Plan ahead so big feelings don't catch you off guard. make a plan to participate in something that brings you joy. being in nature, cooking a new meal, spending time with a trusted friend. proactively identifying loose plans can make you feel more grounded.

3. Limit social media use. Read that again.

4. Connect. tell someone safe how you feel, or check in with an online community so that you feel less isolated. you can even take it a step further and tell someone what you need. if it is difficult to understand what you need, start with telling them what you don't need.

On the eves of Mother's Day, here is a reminder about
🤰🏼Maternal mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders, significantly impact women during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.
🤰🏼In the US, an estimated 1 in 5 individuals experience these conditions during pregnancy or postpartum.
👩🏼‍🍼A more specific statistic indicates that 1 in 8 women experience postpartum depression, and half of those cases remain untreated. Mental health conditions are also a leading cause of maternal mortality.
Here's a more detailed look at the statistics:
🤰🏼Prevalence:
Approximately 10% of pregnant women and 13% of women who have just given birth experience a mental disorder, primarily depression, worldwide. In developing countries, these rates are even higher, reaching 15.6% during pregnancy and 19.8% after childbirth.
👩🏼‍🍼Postpartum Depression:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 1 in 8 women experience postpartum depression.
🤰🏼Maternal Mortality:
In 2023, the US experienced 669 maternal deaths, a rate of 18.6 per 100,000 live births. Mental health conditions are a leading cause of pregnancy-related death, according to data from Maternal Mortality Review Committees in 38 states.
👩🏼‍🍼Untreated Cases:
A significant portion of women experiencing maternal mental health conditions, including postpartum depression, do not receive the necessary treatment.
🤰🏼Impact on Children:
The mothers' mental health can negatively affect their children's growth and development.
