[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

The first step toward mental wellness is rarely dramatic. It is quiet. It is private. And it is to stop pretending everything is fine when it isn't.

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

Holistic selfcare is not a spa day, though rest is real and necessary. It is the daily, disciplined practice of tending to your mind, your body, your spirit, and your relationships before crisis demands it of you
#HolisticSelfCare #DrHammond #MentalHealthMatters #MondayMotivation

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

You don’t have to be alone.

In a world where it’s easy to feel disconnected, remember that support is always within reach. Taking care of your mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness. Let's take that first step together.

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

No parent gets it right every time. And children don't need you to. What they need is a parent who repairs after rupture. Who says I was wrong and means it. The ones who create a home where feelings are allowed to exist without punishment or shame.
#DrHammond #ConsciousParenting

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

You're fine. Stop crying. It's not a big deal, but when we consistently minimize a child's emotional experience, we don't teach them that feelings are manageable. The powerful thing you can give your child is the language for their inner world.

#EmotionCoaching #ParentingTips

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

We spend so much time preparing children for the world, academics, extracurriculars, achievements, and not nearly enough time preparing them emotionally for the life they will actually live.

Your nervous system has been asking for a reset, and you've been too busy to answer.
Five minutes. That's all it takes. Happy International Yoga Day. 🌿

Happy Father's Day to every man showing up: imperfectly, consistently, and with love.
Fatherhood is one of the most emotionally demanding roles a person can hold.

Today, we pause to honor June 19, 1865, the day enslaved Black Americans in Texas finally received word of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Freedom is not just a historical moment. It is a daily psychological practice
#Juneteenth #FreedomDay

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

In the context of chronic cultural stress and systemic pressure, joy is not frivolous; it is radical. Schedule one act of pure cultural joy — something that reconnects you to your identity and has no productivity attached to it.
#CulturalWellness #BlackMentalHealth #DrHammond

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

Black mental health is not a niche topic. It is one of the most urgent and underserved conversations in wellness today. Strength is real. AND so is the need for support. Both can be true.

#BlackMentalHealth #CourtneyBVance #CulturalWellness #HealingOurCommunity #MondayMotivation

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

Giving yourself just one minute to reset your energy can completely shift your perspective and boost your productivity. Don't wait for burnout to force a break—choose it for yourself today.

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

You will not come out of trauma the same person who went in. And that is not a loss, it is a transformation. The goal of healing was never to erase what happened. It was to build a life where what happened no longer controls every room you walk into.
#DrHammond #TraumaHealing

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

Living with trauma responses, the nervous system can be easily triggered by everyday stressors, a raised voice in a meeting, a certain tone of email, a crowded room. The brain reads these as threats, even when they aren't.

#PTSDAwareness #NervousSystemRegulation #HealingTools

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

June is PTSD Awareness Month, and this week, we are holding space for every form of trauma, seen and unseen. You are not broken. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it learned to do. And healing is possible.

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

This Men's Mental Health Month, I want to challenge every person reading this, regardless of gender, to help dismantle the silence.
Ask. Listen. Stay. Refer. You could be the reason someone chooses to get help. That is not a small thing.

#MensMentalHealth #MensMentalHealthMonth

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

Research consistently shows that social connection is one of the most powerful protective factors against depression and anxiety, yet men report having fewer close friendships and meaningful emotional connections than any other demographic.

[Dr Nekeshia Hammond @Dr_Hammond]

June is Men's Mental Health Month. The world keeps telling them not to talk about it, but Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson does. He redefines masculinity, emphasizing that men acknowledging their feelings and asking for help is a sign of true bravery, not weakness.
