July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month! 🧠✨

Mental health affects everyone, but the barriers to healing are not always equal. This month, we honor the resilience of BIPOC and marginalized communities while actively fighting to break down cultural stigmas and systemic barriers to care. Everyone deserves access to safe, compassionate, and culturally competent support.

Let’s listen, learn, and uplift diverse voices. You are never alone. ❤️

Not all heroes wear capes—some take off their shoes and climb into storm drains! 🦆✨

We had a serious rescue mission at SLBH today when eight tiny ducklings fell through a storm drain grate. When standard tools like grabbers and baskets couldn't reach them, our maintenance rockstar, Vidal, didn't hesitate. He kicked off his shoes, climbed right into the drain, and brought every single one of them safely back to their frantically waiting mama.

Swipe through to see the rescue in action! We already knew our maintenance team was incredible, but Vidal truly went above and beyond today. (And yes, he gave us full permission to share his new title: Official Duck Rescuer).

Drop a ❤️ to thank Vidal and the team for saving the day!

Taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body. 🧠‍

Meditation may...

🧘 Ease Anxiety & Depression: Meditation can quiet negative thought loops and rewire the brain’s stress response.
❤️ Lower Blood Pressure: Regular practice reduces strain on the heart, promoting vascular health.
😴 Combat Insomnia: By relaxing the nervous system, mindfulness helps you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
🤒 Support Chronic Illness Care: For those battling conditions like cancer, meditation offers a powerful tool to manage stress, ease pain, and improve overall quality of life.

You don't need hours out of your day to see a change—just a few minutes of conscious breathing can jumpstart your wellness journey.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) offer intensive services for individuals who need a higher level of care and more support than traditional weekly therapy, while still allowing the maintenance of work and home life.

• Our full-day program runs five days a week and offers an intermediate level of care. It features three unique programming tracks to choose from: mental health, trauma and substance use disorders.

• Our half-day program is designed for patients who need more support than can be provided in outpatient individual therapy. This usually consists of three hours of therapy three times a week and specializes in mental health, trauma recovery and addiction recovery.

• Our virtual half-day program provides three hours of therapy three times a week and focuses on substance use disorders. It includes psychoeducation, coping skills training and individualized reflection—all tailored to support patients’ unique path.
