Proposal for May, instead of #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth (we're all too aware) How about, just brainstorming here: 💚 Decrease Mental Health Stigma Month 💚 Building Community Support for Mental Health Month 💚 Create Systemic Change for Improved Mental Health Month

Hey amazing Bluesky folks, can we help Olivia with this Q? @o-bel.bsky.social is looking for "graphics with people wearing respirators I could use for my future infographics" (she's looking for visuals better than cloth masks). Any pointers?

Therapists, how are you using the time from late cancelations these days? A. Catch up on documentation B. Do some asynchronous CEU training C. Read D. Existential crisis E. Other __________? #TherapistSky

This short blog article 👇 is 🎯 Read it, bookmark it, share it "Pandemic grief is layered and multifaceted. It's not just one loss, but many different losses both big and small. We are grieving people, places, experiences, opportunities, hobbies, careers, passions, and even our own identities..."

I wrote a short blog about pandemic grief, discussing the variety of losses we’ve had and continue to experience due to the ongoing pandemic www.oliviabelknaptherapy.com/post/pandemi...

My colleague Liz and I are hosting a community event for us to collectively grieve the losses associated with the ongoing pandemic. This is not therapy, so anyone is welcome regardless of your location. Feel free to share! Link: bit.ly/COVIDwitness...
