Blog Posts

May is Mental Health Awareness month.  May is a time to raise awareness of and reduce the stigma surrounding behavioral health issues, as well as highlighting the ways how mental illness and addiction can affect all of us – patients, providers, families, and our society at large (American Hospital Association.)  Our blog this month will focus on mental health awareness.  We were recently given the opportunity to speak to business partners in our community about mental health, suicide prevention, and addiction.  What came up the most from this conversation is lack of resources in the community, lack of support with mental health, and lack of coping skills when it comes to stress, mental health, and preventing suicide.  We would love to hear what kind of resources you would find beneficial for us or the community in general to offer?  Through EMDR, mindfulness, grounding practices, and other therapy modalities we find we can help with coping and with further healing.   We have also spent some recent blog posts talking about recognizing and challenging belief systems to help us move from surviving to thriving.  This year, NAMI is celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month with the More Than Enough campaign!

It’s an opportunity to remember the inherent value we each hold — no matter our diagnosis, appearance, socioeconomic status, background or ability. No matter what, you are inherently worthy of more than enough life, love and healing. Showing up, just as you are, for yourself and the people around you is more than enough (NAMI).   #morethanenough                 Therapeuo Health- “TACKLING PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL PAIN”   Emilie Barragan, LCSW
