Life has been a whirlwind lately, but I prioritized my breast cancer screening last week. These screenings are vital—they can truly save lives! 🌟 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Let's all commit to getting our mammograms. A heartfelt tribute to the fearless warriors who have battled breast cancer. Your strength inspires us all!

Dealing with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be incredibly tough. 💔 OCD is a serious mental health condition characterized by uncontrollable obsessions (repetitive, intrusive thoughts) 🧠 and compulsions (repetitive behaviors in response to the obsessions). These symptoms can revolve around various themes like harm, order, s*x, religion, or aggression, and are not solely about cleanliness or neatness. 🚫🧼

The good news is that effective treatments exist to alleviate OCD symptoms and enhance quality of life! 🌈✨ If you or someone you know is struggling with OCD, it's crucial to understand that help and support are available. 🤝💖

September is National Su***de Prevention Month. 💚

If someone you know expresses suicidal thoughts, talk to them calmly and directly and listen to their response without judgement.

Get support from mental health professionals, spiritual advisors, or community resources to reassure them that help is available.

Together, we can break the stigma of su***de.

Join us in recognizing National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. 🌟 Did you know that minority communities are less likely to receive mental health care, with only 25% of African Americans and Hispanics seeking treatment compared to 40% of whites? 📉 One significant reason for this disparity is the lack of culturally sensitive treatment. Many minorities feel misunderstood or dismissed by providers who do not share or respect their cultural backgrounds. 🌍💬

By promoting cultural competence in mental health care, we can create an environment where everyone feels seen and heard. 🧠❤️ Take action today by supporting culturally competent mental health training and resources. 🙌📚

We had a great time discussing Regina's mission and our services earlier today, and a collaboration with Cobb Police Community Affairs is in the works. I asked the officer if it was safe to capture the moment😅😂 She said ‘Yes.
