Showing up for justice is powerful and it can also take a lot out of you. If you attended a #NoKings event today, give yourself permission to rest and restore this evening. You earned it.

Speaking out isn’t just political, it’s personal. Advocacy and mental health are deeply connected- when we name injustice, we reclaim agency, connection, and hope. Check out the Mobilize website for an Oct. 18 No Kings Protest near you. Below is information for a gathering in Henderson, NV.

Remember when we could wake up in the morning and not immediately wonder what new horror the president has unleashed upon us? Good times, good times. 😭

October is ADHD Awareness Month. It affects nearly 10% of children and 4–5% of adults in the U.S. It impacts focus, memory, emotions, time management, self-esteem, anxiety, and overall life. Therapy can help build strategies, reduce shame, and provide tools to thrive with ADHD. #ADHD #MentalHealth

Hot flashes, mood shifts, brain fog- perimenopause and menopause are real, common, and under-discussed. Women deserve better understanding and support. #perimenopause #menopause #mentalhealth

Feeling anxious? Wake up drenched in sweat? Welcome to the overlooked and often maddening world of the perimenopause – and the evidence-backed strategies to deal with the symptoms.

Which perimenopause treatments actually work?

For women going through perimenopause, there is no shortage of advice on how to deal with the symptoms – but which strategies show real results, and which are social media hype?

Perimenopause and menopause is too often overlooked and can severely impact women's mental health. It's frustrating when my clients try to receive help from medical professionals only to have their symptoms minimized. It's important to talk about it, understand it, and create more support.

It's officially Fall! At the change of each season, it can be a great time to plan out what the next few months will hold. Write down any fun plans, new goals, self-care, or habits to foster. What do you have going on this Fall? #Fall #goalsetting #selfcare

Watching teachers violate their own values by complying and posting these posters on their classroom walls (and being given no authority to speak about it to their students) is heartbreaking. Thank you for your invaluable work ACLU.
