Everyone deserves access to affordable mental health care. I’m currently accepting a limited number of clients through the Open Path Psychotherapy Collective. If you are looking for support, visit openpathcollective.org/clinicians/amy-collins/ for more details.

Amazon has generic PlanB for ~$10. Consider stocking up on some before 1/20.

I’d encourage men and women in blue states to buy some as well; you may have a loved one in need.

Being in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.

Identify:
5 things you can see.
4 things you can feel.
3 things you can hear.
2 things you can smell.
1 thing you can taste.

This practice grounds you in the present moment by engaging your senses.

Don’t forget to be kind to yourself today. #BlackSky 🦋

If you’re clinically depressed, if you suffer from anxiety, if you have other mental struggles and aren’t sure what they are, see a therapist, see a psychologist, see a psychiatrist.. get diagnosed and take some medicine. I promise it’s ok to be medicated so you can feel better.

Many are unaware of the increased risk of new presentation, recurrence, or exacerbation of disordered eating in perimenopause due to the fluctuations of estrogen/progesterone.

New study seeks to increase awareness.

Here are some payment options for therapy from a free course I have on finding a Black therapist in the Legacy Members Club.

I’ve always had trans mates since the early 90s, when I was in the first lived experience pilot. It was seen as a threat, and we were utterly loathed, with the whole hospital waiting for us to break down (which, of course, happened). A trans nurse became our one ally. Difference supports difference.

Black text on a photo of shoes. Text reads: Social workers: Don't let your anxiety paralyze you. Our profession was born out of the need to respond to social upheaval. We were made for this. Darla Spence Coffey (Former President and CEO of the Council on Social Work Education)

Wise words from former President and CEO of the Council on Social Work Education, Darla Coffey. As true today as they were in 2016.
