Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day 💜

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that has become a major contributor to overdose deaths across the country. Many people are exposed without even knowing it, as it is often mixed into other substances. This makes awareness, education, and open conversation more important than ever.

At our therapy office, we believe that knowledge saves lives. Talking with teens and young adults about substance use, peer pressure, and safety can feel difficult, but these conversations truly matter.

Today, we encourage you to:
Learn the facts about fentanyl and overdose risks
Have honest, age-appropriate conversations with your kids and loved ones
Reduce stigma around substance use and mental health
Know the signs of overdose and how to respond

If you or someone you love is struggling with substance use or mental health challenges, support is available. You don’t have to face it alone.

Together, we can create safer, more informed communities 💜

It’s Iowa State Fair Week 🎡💛

The fair is a time for fun, tradition, and making memories with friends and family. From live music and amazing food to busy crowds and packed schedules, it can also be a lot to take in.

At our therapy office, we want to remind everyone that it’s okay to take care of your mental health, even during exciting events like the fair.

Give yourself permission to:
Take breaks when you need them
Step away from crowds if things feel overwhelming
Stay hydrated, rested, and nourished
Check in with yourself and your emotions throughout the day

For teens especially, big events can bring both excitement and stress. Finding a balance between enjoying the moment and honoring your limits is key.

Have fun, stay safe, and remember that your well-being matters just as much as the memories you make 💚

🌿 Happy International Self Care Day! 🌿

Today is a reminder that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It is essential. Self care can look different for everyone. It might mean setting boundaries, getting outside for a walk, taking a few deep breaths, reaching out to someone you trust, or simply allowing yourself time to rest.

Small moments of care can make a big difference in supporting your mental and emotional well being. Wherever you are in your journey, remember that your well being matters.

Take a moment today to do something kind for yourself. You deserve it. 💚

June is PTSD Awareness Month, and June 27th is National PTSD Awareness Day.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can affect anyone who has experienced a traumatic event. It may show up as flashbacks, anxiety, sleep difficulties, or emotional numbness, and it can impact daily life in profound ways.

Awareness is the first step toward understanding and support. If you or someone you love is living with PTSD, seeking help from a trained mental health professional can provide effective tools for healing and coping. Therapy, support groups, and self-care strategies can all play a role in recovery.

This month, we honor the resilience of those living with PTSD, reduce stigma, and remind everyone that help is available and healing is possible.

You are not alone. Support is out there.

Father’s Day is a time to honor and celebrate the fathers, father figures, and mentors in our lives.

This day is an opportunity to show appreciation for the guidance, support, and love that dads provide. It’s also a reminder that mental and emotional health matters for fathers too. Many fathers face unique pressures, stress, and expectations that can impact their wellbeing, and seeking support is a sign of strength.

Whether it’s spending quality time together, sharing a conversation, or simply checking in, small gestures can make a meaningful difference.

Today, we celebrate fathers everywhere and the positive impact they have on their families and communities.
