“As adults, we learn to navigate relationships, express feelings, and seek self-fulfillment. But where does that ability actually start? With play.

As children, we turn to toys to process daily events, face challenges, and hold space for feelings we don't yet have the words to express.

What’s even more powerful is that you don’t need to be a child to benefit from Play Therapy.

Play therapy is an experiential approach. Alongside traditional talk therapy, artistic tools, sandtrays, movement, and more are used to explore and process the thoughts and emotions that can otherwise leave a person feeling stuck. 🫂” - Jen Eligh, LMSW

October is National Depression Awareness Month which means you will see a lot of social media posts about Depression and how to find resources, but what is “Depression” really? When most people think about depression, they are thinking about Major Depressive Disorder.

Major Depressive Disorder can be diagnosed when someone is having 5 (or more) diagnostic symptoms during the same 2 week period that accompanies a change in functioning along with either depressed mood, or loss of interest, or pleasure.

What people may not know is that there are many forms of depression such as:
● Persistent Depressive Disorder, which is when people feel depressive symptoms for 2 or more years consistently.
● Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, which has a lot of the same symptoms but occurs within the week prior to me**es in women.
● Seasonal Affective Disorder, which typically affects people in the fall and winter months due to less sunlight.
● Postpartum Depression, which occurs at any given time in women who have given birth and can be intense, long-lasting feelings of anxiety, sadness, and fatigue.

So maybe now you are asking yourself, have I ever experienced any of these symptoms or am I currently experiencing these symptoms? Could it be that you recognize that individuals around you might be experiencing these symptoms or shifts in moods? So what now?

Here are some steps that you can take to help decrease depressive symptoms by:
● Focus on Self-Care: Control stress, find activities that bring joy, focus on your eating and sleeping habits, avoid using substances that could trigger the depressive symptoms/make the symptoms worse.
● Set small, achievable goals: realistic, small goals help increase motivation and confidence to help get the ball rolling.
● Know the warning signs/triggers: Keep track of the things that can decrease your mood, increase anxiousness, increase fatigue, or change your mood significantly. The more you notice, the more you can plan for, and the better you can adjust as needed.
● Tell people in your circle what depression looks like for you, and let them know how they might be able to support you.

The world can be a lot right now. It can feel overwhelming. There is pressure to keep going,
keep working, keep showing up, and keep climbing. Sometimes, as human beings, even when nothing is obviously wrong, we can still find ourselves struggling.

Mental health is health, and our mental health is shaped not only by what’s happening inside of ourselves, but also by what is happening around us. People deserve compassion,
understanding, and access to care when they are in need of it.

Today is an opportunity to make space for honest conversations, to listen to lived experiences, to challenge the stigma that keeps others quiet, and to take a moment to take care of yourself.

Sometimes taking care of yourself looks like therapy. Sometimes it looks like setting a boundary, calling a friend, getting some rest, or saying “Hey, I’m having a hard time right now.”.

Whatever it looks like for you, you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

Your experience matters, as well as your mental health. You deserve support – not because
things are “bad enough”, but because you’re human. 💜

ADHD Awareness is observed over the month of October! This gives everyone an opportunity to learn more, challenge misconceptions, and create more understanding around ADHD.

ADHD, or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, is more than difficulty paying attention. It can affect many areas of people’s lives and because ADHD can look so different from person to person, it isn’t always obvious.

Awareness helps us move beyond assumptions like “they’re just not trying hard enough” or “they just need to actually focus”. Instead, we can create environments where people feel understood and supported.

This month, we’re highlighting a few things to know about ADHD, such as what it is, what it isn’t, what it can look like, and how we can better support those in our lives who have ADHD.

𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗩𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵

Domestic Violence Awareness Month is observed annually in October, although it takes place year round. Domestic violence is more than physical violence. It can include emotional abuse, intimidation, coercive control, manipulation, isolation, financial abuse, threats, and other behaviors used to create fear, control, or harm. More than 1 in 3 women, and nearly 1 in 6 men experience domestic violence in their lifetime.

For many survivors, the effects can continue long after the abuse ends. Trauma impacts how someone feels, thinks, relates to others, and experiences safety in their everyday life.

This month, we recognize the strength and courage that it takes to survive, seek support, and begin healing. We would also like to remind survivors that what happened to them is not their fault, and they do not have to navigate the impact of domestic violence alone.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, reaching out to a trusted person or qualified support service is an important first step. Healing is possible, and support is available.

You are important. You are loved. You are seen. You are heard. You are valued. You are enough.

● Call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)
● Text START to 88788
