It's okay to feel overwhelmed, happy, sad, or anything in between. Your emotions are real and deserve acknowledgment.

Give yourself the space to feel without judgment. You're doing great!

Let's remember today and every day that simple gestures can make a profound difference in someone's life.

Just a quick reminder that healing takes time. It's okay to have ups and downs along the way. Be patient with yourself and celebrate every step forward, no matter how small.

Open conversations can break stigma, foster understanding, and remind us that it's okay not to be okay sometimes. Reach out, share your story, and support one another.

🌈 Understanding LGBTQ+ Pride & Mental Health 🌈

Did you know? LGBTQ stands for Le***an, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Q***r (or Questioning). Mental health challenges in this community often arise from discrimination and prejudice. By understanding and embracing the diverse identities within the LGBTQ+ spectrum, we can alleviate these issues and promote better mental health. Remember, help is available if you or someone you know is struggling.

The Quick Response Team (QRT) is a dedicated team of professionals ready to assist during substance-related emergencies. They provide immediate support, information, and free Narcan kits to those in need. Reach out for help whenever you need it.

Big shoutout to Leapin' Outreach Center for letting us set up resource booths for their clients yesterday! 🙌 We're grateful for the partnership.
