🧠Wellness Wednesdays Reminder: There is no wrong emotion.
It’s not the feeling that’s the problem—it’s the behaviors that can follow when emotions and thoughts go unchecked.
Pause. Reflect. Choose your next move with care. You deserve space to feel and tools to respond.

🔦 What really keeps D.C. safe? It’s not more police or prisons—it’s investing in what our communities actually need: housing, healing, jobs, and care.
📢 70% of D.C. residents agree: real safety starts with prevention, not punishment.
