The length of the grieving is determined by the griever, not by how long you, as a comforter, can stand to be sad. Your work is to be with them where they are, not drag them out where you are more comfortable.

Stigma prevents many men from seeking the mental health care they need. During #MensHealthMonth, let’s remind the men in our lives that they are not alone and help is always available. #MentalHealthMonday Click below to learn more 👇

📖 Weekend reading. It's just wrong that people on low incomes have unjust stigma put on them by others. Ine in five people on low incomes say they have often experienced discrimination or judgement. And that has a bad impact on their mental health. www.mentalhealth.org.uk/sites/defaul...

"Asian Americans are 50 % less likely to seek mental health care than other racial groups in the U.S.. Research demonstrates that this disparity largely comes from cultural stigmas that stereotype and discriminate against people experiencing mental illness." highschool.latimes.com/opinion/ment...

"Mental health begins at home, and so does the stigma that surrounds men seeking mental health care." lnkd.in/dxUjnZAx

"Although counselors understand and use the DSM in diagnosis, the goal of counseling is to help the client accomplish wellness rather than to cure an illness" (Jungers et al., 2019).

"In 2024, nearly 60 million adults in the U.S. experienced some form of mental illness. That’s almost 1 in 4 people. What’s even more concerning is that many people aren’t getting the help they need." www.newschannel5.com/plus/urban-o...

We have often blamed those who suffer for their trauma; we have failed to recognize that systems can be corrupt and power abused and that, like our Lord, many people in this world suffer from totally undeserved injustice and trauma.

Protect your mental health.

If you want the trauma survivor to understand that God is a refuge, then be one.

Aaron Judge might be the great HR of all time.

I don't know where to start. 🙃https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/45498675

I'm seeking an adjunct faculty position in public health, healthcare administration, or clinical research administration. Please direct message me if you're aware of any opportunities.

I think Embiid is a better talent than Giannis, but at the end of the day I'm taking Giannis because of his availability.

"We love him because he first loved us."-1 John 4:19

In my quiet time, I'm reading the book of Judges. I really like the name Gideon.

I watched this movie and I'll be perfectly honest. I don't get the hype.

I think Micah Parsons really wants to be an Eagle.

Dude, you see that Denzel Clark catch?

Aaron Judge is not human.

I hope I’m wrong, but I see Aaron Rogers as Steelers’ QB1 imploding.

Why would anyone take the Knicks job after what the did to Thibs?

If you have a fulltime job, doing practicum/internship, and taking another class God bless you.

I already know that my weekend is shot trying to get this paper done for my career development class. There so many components to this assignment. I'm still trying to process it.

I really appreciate my Faculty Supervisor. He remembers what it's like to be in our shoes.

Facing a lot of hurdles with practicum. Solicit your prayers.

Booked my first client today!

God is answering prayers early this morning.

I'm still waiting for that first client. I'm praying that God will open a door today.

Waiting on the LORD is a test of our faith. Either we trust Him or we don't.
