It's not goodbye forever. We've decided to take a break from our Twitter and focus on our other social media accounts! Give us a follow on our LinkedIn and Facebook to keep up-to-date on all our events and trainings! See you there! facebook.com/SSWMHTTC linkedin.com/company/south-…
This year has been full of exciting events, conferences with expert speakers, new connections, and learning from people with lived experience. Thank you for joining us and for all that you do.
To the mental health professionals that work tirelessly to support the mental health of our communities, your work is making a difference. Mental healthcare should be accessible and excellent for everyone and your work is paving the way. From our team to you and yours, thank you!
#PeerSupportSpecialists use their lived experiences of mental health & substance use & utilize their training to support others experiencing similar challenges. We are so thankful for their contributions to the mental health workforce & we appreciate having them on our team!
Each day of this week, we want to take an opportunity to express our #gratitude to the amazing people that dedicate their time and energy to serving others and supporting mental health. We would not be here without you! From our team to you and yours, thank you.
Today is #TransDayOfRemembrance, an important yet often painful day for the trans & non-binary community. We honor the memory of lives lost to anti-trans violence. Reach out to The Trevor Project thetrevorproject.org or 988 988lifeline.org for emotional support.
We invite you to take a moment to practice some #gratitude. Check out some prompts to guide your reflection 👇👇
Practicing #gratitude doesn't need to be anything fancy or complicated. Gratitude can be a personal practice or something that you share with others. Have you practiced gratitude today?
#Gratitude is something that can be incorporated into our everyday lives and has been linked to a host of benefits, both short- and long-term. What is something you are grateful for?
