Did you know that only 36% of Hispanic/Latino adults with mental health conditions receive treatment? Ellie wants to change that. This National Hispanic Heritage Month (begins on Sunday!), let's break down barriers and talk openly about mental health. You aren't alone, and together, we can create a supportive community where everyone feels heard and cared for. ???? #MentalHealthAwareness #HispanicHeritageMonth

Boundaries aren't just a buzzword; they're your mental health's best friend. It's not selfish to say no; it's self-care. ?? It might seem hard or scary, but it's so important-- copy and paste these to use where applicable: - Direct and Polite: "I'd love to help, but unfortunately, I can't right now." - Give a Reason: "Thanks for thinking of me, but I have too much on my plate at the moment." - Assertive: "I'd rather not, but thanks for thinking of me." - Apologetic: "I'm really sorry, but I have to pass." - Compromise: "I can't do the whole thing, but I can help with [specific part]." - The Randy Jackson: "That's a no from me, dawg." #ProtectYourPeace #SelfCare #Boundaries #SayingNo

Summer's here, and it's the perfect time to show yourself some love. ?? Here are a few ideas we have: 1. Start by soaking up the sun responsibly—hello, Vitamin D! ? 2. Try journaling your thoughts while lounging in a park or practicing mindfulness with a walk on the beach. ?? 3. Make time for friends who lift you up, and don't be afraid to say "no" to plans that drain you. 4. Dive into a new hobby, whether it's paddleboarding or just reading that book you've been eyeing. 5. Extra time with the kids out of school? Now's the perfect time to try out therapy and get things back on track before the schedules fill up again this fall. ? And remember, it's totally okay to have lazy days once in awhile! You deserve some TLC! #Summertime #MentalHealthtips #TherapistsofInstagram #CopingSkills
