What is online therapy? Will my insurance cover it? Where do I start? How do I know if I should go with an online therapy service or a private practice therapist? And what exactly is the difference between those two things? 🤔 0 0
“July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. This is timely, as Black-Americans have reached a peak of anger and frustration with the multiple murders of unarmed Black folks at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve. The murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor ignited a firestorm of unrest in the Black community—perhaps dredging up the collective angst and alienation felt by so many since our ancestors’ release from captivity some 400 years ago. This is an unhealed wound for the Black-American collective. We have been unable to heal, perhaps because this nation may have released its captives from bondage, but continued their oppression in various other ways. The mental illness inherent in the system of racism/white supremacy has left its victims traumatized.” Swipe for tips on moving forward mindfully, coping strategies, and resources, and read “Black Mental Health During Turbulent Times” by Vaughn O’Neal, a therapist you can match with at Mental Health Match, at the link in our bio. @centrepath 0 0
We're going through a lot, and talking can be overwhelming. Art therapy is one alternative to talk therapy that can help us process difficult emotions through creative expression. "When we create art, we literally can see how our stuff is playing out in real time. Our therapists are trained in supporting change in that moment – so you can practice in a safe, supportive setting how you would like to do things differently. ​Experiences speak louder than words."

“I grew up in Miami, Florida, where diversity was so common that I boasted of being color-blind. I accepted all of my friends no matter what their skin tone. It is only with growing understanding these last few years that color-blindness as it relates to race does not exist. That while maybe I did not discriminate, I did nothing to understand their point of view. That I believed that we were all equal, but never actually checked to see if my version of reality was true.” 0 0
Soad Tabrizi, LMFT is calling for people to step up as community members and help protect folx who are suffering — rather than dismissing mental health as a new trend. (It’s not.)

Are mental health crises criminal justice matters? Mental health advocates have argued that trained mental health and medical professionals should be responding to people experiencing behavioral-health distress — not cops. In light of the public calls for a reallocation of police department budgets to mental health services and programs, we’re wondering what a mental health approach to public safety looks like *to you*. Comment or DM us with your thoughts and we’ll share your ideas in a later post! ☁️✨ 0 0
36% of Americans provide unpaid care to another adult with an illness or disability. It’s a labor of love, but focusing all of your energy on the needs of other people and ignoring your own can take a physical, mental and emotional toll. Miranda Campbell, MSM, MSW, LCSW wrote about the warning signs of burnout and provided some self-care tips for caregivers. 0 0
#JUNETEENTH 🤎 155 years ago, the last enslaved Black people in the United States were freed. Also known as #EmancipationDay or #FreedomDay, Juneteenth is celebrated annually on June 19th to commemorate the end of slavery in the country. It's also a stark reminder that American history is dark and complex, and that a linear timeline from chattel slavery to freedom to modern day "post-racism" is a delusion. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed by Abraham Lincoln to destabilize the Confederate States in 1863, but enslavers held people in the bondage of slavery for two and a half years before Union soldiers reached Texas and announced that enslaved people were now free. And it would be another seven months before the 13th Amendment was ratified, abolishing slavery and involuntary servitude — except as punishment for a crime, AKA prison labor. What does this have to do with mental health? Black folx are the descendants of newly-freed people who were given no possessions or protection after liberation and, as we know, the failed promise of equality through Reconstruction Amendments. Black Americans continue to endure historical trauma, systemic racism and race-related stress. Freedom is something to celebrate, but so are the lives and wellbeing of Black folx. Black history matters. Black joy matters. Black mental health matters. #BlackLivesMatter 0 0
