A brilliant outreach idea.

[Assistant Sec. for Mental Health & Substance Use @SAMHSA_Leader]

Check out these cement mixers! Kudos to the supply construction materials company in Connecticut & the CT 988 campaign who partnered to share awareness about the importance of the #988Lifeline!

Help is available by calling or texting 988 or chatting https://t.co/EiVLtZ1Ump.

When mental illness is not the cause but the side effect of systemic oppression.

[The Seattle Times @seattletimes]

Ask just about anyone for their thoughts on what causes homelessness, and you will likely hear drug addiction, mental illness, alcoholism and poverty. A pair of researchers looked into it and wrote a book on what they found. https://t.co/7cbWRB72hh

Especially when many physical symptoms related to mental health are 1st seen by MDs. Aside from primary drs, connect w/ cardiologists for pts w/ anxiety. The 1st thought is heart issues when it's anxiety. GYN for maternal MH, GI drs for anxiety and pain mgmt for depression.

We’re looking for a trainer for our dog so I called our vet and asked for a referral.

They sent me a list of trainers in the area.

The same is true for therapists.

If you’re a therapist, you should be on referral lists for doctors in your area.

[Leslie Garcia, LCSW @CounselingSpace]

Community organizers you are needed. @AkomaCounseling are you looking for someone who is local?

[Leslie Garcia, LCSW @CounselingSpace]

I was hoping this wouldn't be another consequence after the decision but here it is.

[FORTUNE @FortuneMagazine]

OB/GYNs are rethinking their careers after Roe v. Wade decision, signaling that the doctor shortage may get even worse. https://t.co/sr0lJoEwGT

The facility added mental health screenings to the dental appts. It would be great to see more drs add these screenings. Many Drs are the 1st stop for many pts who struggle w/ common mental health symptoms. https://t.co/Hj3pI2REPR

@dominicanabroad it's confirmed.

A common theme during today's session was, let go to let in what serves and heals you. #MentalHealthAwareness

Social work month promo!

@MinaaBe Happy Birthday Minaa!

[Leslie Garcia, LCSW @CounselingSpace]

When clients express their gratitude for helping them, I thank them for trusting me to be part of their growth. Most importantly, they should be grateful for doing the work and displaying self-love. Now that is truly a gift!

[Leslie Garcia, LCSW @CounselingSpace]

Friendly reminder, perfection is subjective and progress is objective. You can always measure progress. Embracing progress is a mindfulness act.

It's time to utilize our NYC MWBE certification especially after completing a pile of paperwork. Where are my fellow NYC/MWBE biz owners?
