Self-compassion is truly the way to accomplish sustained positive change for ourselves because it provides us the foundation to build on, the motivation to grow – not because we need fixing but because we are worth the effort –  and a space to rest and regroup when we fall short.

When supporting someone who is grieving, it is essential to remember that being there, in person or otherwise, is the most important and powerful part.

Cultivating gratitude in relationships helps teens and young adults build stronger connections, feel more supported, and navigate challenges more effectively.

We celebrated the grand opening of our new location with a community open house and ribbon cutting. Check out some highlights from the event.

If we nurture appreciation consistently and intentionally, we are less likely to feel defensive in times of conflict, which makes it possible to stay positively connected even when we disagree. 

"It is essential to remember that we all have room to grow when it comes to difficult conversations, and that is especially true when those conversations are with people nearest and dearest to us."

When we feel seen... when we feel acknowledged...when we feel heard, we can begin to heal.

Effective self-care requires us to know what’s feeling off and why. Only then can we give ourselves care that is truly helpful...sometimes we have to get real with ourselves about what’s going on before we can find the most effective form of self-care.

Investing in your self-care now is one way to get ahead...an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as the old adage goes. We also can better understand ourselves, knowing our limits along with our strengths during this change in season, so we feel more prepared for what is ahead.
