This year's theme is Caring & Sharing! Participate by doing an extra part in caring! Step 1: Think: What is something you found helpful or inspiring recently? It could be a new idea, quote, image, podcast, article, book or place. Step 2: Care: Who is someone you care about who might benefit from it too? Choose a friend, family member, colleague, neighbour or someone you’ve not seen for a while. Step 3: Share: How will you get in touch to share it with them today? Send a text, share on a messaging app, leave a voice note, give them a call, or pop around to say Hello! #internationaldayofhappiness2025 #mentalhealth

Help Your Child Thrive: The Power of Therapy As parents, we all want our kids to grow, flourish, and feel their best—but sometimes, they need a little extra support to navigate life’s challenges. Therapy isn’t just for when things feel “bad”—it’s a space where kids can build confidence, process emotions, and develop healthy coping skills. If your child is struggling with anxiety, big emotions, school stress, or life transitions, therapy can give them the tools to express themselves and thrive. Seeking help isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s an act of strength and love. ?? Let’s break the stigma and normalize mental health support for kids—because their well-being matters just as much as their physical health. A strong mind builds a strong future! ?? Reach out today to learn how therapy can support your child. #ParentingWithLove #KidsMentalHealthMatters #HelpThemThrive #TherapyForKids #StrongMindsStrongKids

When someone says something along the lines of, "I don't need a therapist, I talk to my friends". As a therapist I would say, "That's wonderful that you have friends you can share important things with! But, a relationship with a therapist is so much different than that." Here are some of the ways: 1. Therapists are trained to listen deeply and with empathy. Even a friend who is also a therapist may struggle with this (see below). 2. Therapists don't give you advice or tell you what they think (not in the way that a friend would). 3. Therapists don't have a personal relationship with you already, so they are not biased like a friend would be. 4. Therapists typically don't know anyone you know, also leading to less bias. 5. Therapists won't just say, "That's terrible, I wouldn't put up with that." They'll listen and empathize, but also challenge you on your part. 6. Therapists are bound by law to keep your confidentiality. They could lose their license and their livelihood for sharing your information with anyone. 7. Therapists are trained to recognize mental health issues, relational problems, substance abuse issues or addictions, and more. They can educate you on these things if you or someone you know may have an issue. 8. Therapists are trained to handle the various ways a client may show up to a session. They won't take offense like a friend might if you're angry or having a difficult time. 9. Though therapists don't give advice per se, they can help you decide how to deal with all kinds of situations. Friends can give good advice, but not always (see above). 10. Therapists are trained and experienced in hearing all kinds of things. There isn't much you can say that will surprise, stump, or shock a therapist. Can anyone name any other ways a relationship with a therapist differs from one with a friend?

?? Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Today, we’re celebrating luck, laughter, and a little bit of Irish charm! But beyond the green outfits and shamrocks, let’s also take a moment to appreciate the power of community, kindness, and mental well-being. Just like the four-leaf clover symbolizes hope, faith, love, and luck, may today remind us to seek joy in the little things, support each other, and take care of our minds & hearts. Wishing you a day filled with good vibes, great company, and maybe even a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! #HappyStPatricksDay #LuckyToHaveYou #MentalWellnessMatters

It's Neurodiversity Celebration week - March 17th to March 23rd , 2025 Neurodiversity recognizes that everyone experiences the world differently but it can sometimes be challenging to get the world to acknowledge that it’s okay to be different! Neurodiversity Celebration Week aims to be more inclusive, recognizing and accepting the differences in the same way as any other human variation. It’s a beautiful time to honor and show appreciation for those who might be a just a bit different but who also bring a whole lot of uniqueness to the world! One of the most important ways to join in with Neurodiversity Celebration Week is to work toward becoming more informed about the various factors related to neurodivergence and neurodiversity. Head over to the library to pick up some books or do some online research. Get started with some of these facts that are a good start for learning and sharing: ?? 90% of disabilities can’t be seen from an outside perspective ?? 10% of the population are dyslexic ?? 5% of the population have ADHD ?? 5% of the population are dyspraxic Since its inaugural event in 2018, Neurodiversity Celebration Week has increased in scope and popularity, growing into a worldwide event that includes thousands of schools, organizations and nonprofits that are working together to support people with neurodivergence. #neurodiversitycelebrationweek2025 #elliementalhealthrichmondtx
