Talking to Kids About Current Events Kids often become aware of current events due to conversations with peers at school or through social media. Our experts have ways to start a conversation so kids are getting correct information and have an opportunity to share how they are feeling.

Wellness Wednesday Time!

The flowers beginning to bloom and nature is coming alive. Spring's warmer temps and longer days are the perfect excuse to take your movement outdoors.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it - Try taking a morning or sunset walk. Maybe you intentionally focus on engaging your senses - notice the new buds on the trees, the feeling of the breeze, the smell of cut grass, the sound of the birds returning home. Walking can also be like meditation in movement.

We hope you enjoy this and let us know your favorite place to take your morning or sunset walks!! We might just see you there.

Be well! 💚

The number of mental health providers licensed in Maine is up 60 percent since 2019. It still isn’t enough. Despite the increase, many Mainers are still waiting months for care.

A theme as of late…
Slow, regulate… first step
Validate and redirect… second step
Process and teach through listening and inquiry… third step

“When a child is upset, connecting with their emotional state first is essential before trying to redirect their behavior.”
(The Whole-Brain Child, 2011, p. 23)

The cardinal that visits my office, brings me so much joy.

This is a theme that runs through my day to day interactions with my clients. This is wisdom that empowers.
