Buckelew Programs Inc

🖋️ Tattoo For Buckelew, coming Sept. 13, holds special meaning for Nick Paine, co-owner of Faith Tattoo in Santa Rosa. For decades, Nick watched his mother battle acute mental illness and drug addiction, which ultimately took her life in 2022. Diagnoses and treatments were moving targets, and resources were scarce. When the Tattoo For Buckelew organizers invited Nick's studio to participate in this fundraiser for our suicide prevention programs, he didn’t hesitate to join. 💬 “If there were more behavioral health programs like Buckelew provides, if they received more funding, were more accessible and more publicly known, I'm sure there would be fewer tragedies like this. Far fewer people would get left behind,” Nick says. 👉🏼 Here's how to get tattooed by Nick or the other 15 participating artists at Faith on Sept. 13: 📍 600 Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa 🕙 10 am-10 pm. First come, first served – arrive early to get your name on the list. 🐉 Choose from a sheet of flash with available designs. For sneak peeks, follow FaithTattoo on Facebook and Insta. ❓Questions?

🦋 New Bilingual Support Group for Latina Moms: Buckelew is excited to announce the launch of a new clinical therapy group, “Mariposa,” for Spanish-speaking women experiencing postpartum mental health challenges. If you or someone you know could benefit from this clinician-led group, please contact Elsa Rubenstein, AMFT at 415.798.6248 or ElsaR@Buckelew.org to learn more. This Spanish-language support group fills a critical need: * Studies have found that 1 in 7 women develop postpartum depression. And women who experienced depression before or after giving birth were three times more likely to attempt or die by suicide. * Among our local Latino population, suicide rates among both genders have nearly doubled since 2016, far outpacing national trends, according to a recent Press Democrat analysis. Local mental health leaders point to a longstanding lack of bilingual support and cultural barriers as significant obstacles to care. Buckelew is committed to providing access to care. Our new support group is made possible by a generous grant from the Lindskog Foundation, whose support also helped expand Buckelew’s Suicide Prevention Outreach program. We were able to reach and educate 6,000 people directly during fiscal year 2024! 🦋 Nuevo grupo de apoyo bilingüe para mamás latinas: Buckelew se complace en anunciar el lanzamiento de un nuevo grupo de terapia clínica, “Mariposa”, para mujeres de habla hispana que experimentan desafíos de salud mental posparto. Si usted o alguien que conoce podría beneficiarse de este grupo dirigido por médicos, comuníquese con Elsa Rubenstein, AMFT al 415.798.6248 o ElsaR@Buckelew.org para obtener más información. Este grupo de apoyo en español satisface una necesidad crítica: * Los estudios han encontrado que 1 de cada 7 mujeres desarrolla depresión posparto. Y las mujeres que experimentaron depresión antes o después de dar a luz tenían tres veces más probabilidades de intentar suicidarse o morir. * Entre nuestra población latina local, las tasas de suicidio entre ambos géneros casi se han duplicado desde 2016, superando con creces las tendencias nacionales, según un análisis reciente de Press Democrat. Los líderes locales de salud mental señalan una larga falta de apoyo bilingüe y barreras culturales como obstáculos importantes para la atención. Buckelew se compromete a brindar acceso a la atención. Nuestro nuevo grupo de apoyo es posible gracias a una generosa subvención de la Fundación Lindskog, cuyo apoyo también ayudó a ampliar el programa de extensión para la prevención del suicidio de Buckelew. ¡Pudimos llegar y educar a 6000 personas directamente durante el año fiscal 2024!

💗 A huge THANK YOU to the Neptune Society of Northern California for their generous donation of backpacks and school supplies to our Athena House & Hope Village families!

It's #TeamMemberTuesday! Today we honor Nicole Natividad, System Navigator for Family Service Coordination (FSC) 🌟.

FSC offers support groups, 1 : 1 support, education and help with navigating the complex system of care.
