Intergenerational trauma refers to transmitting the impacts of traumatic events from parents to children across generations. In communities of color, this often manifests as inherited experiences of racism, discrimination, and violence. It is crucial to acknowledge this when discussing mental health within these communities.

Equality in a relationship means each person values the other's needs and feelings equally. It's about mutual respect and understanding, where decisions are made together, and both parties have an equal say. True equality leads to healthy, balanced relationships. *********************************** La igualdad en una relación significa que cada persona valora las necesidades y los sentimientos del otro por igual. Se trata de respeto mutuo y comprensión, donde las decisiones se toman juntas y ambas partes tienen la misma voz.

We are extremely grateful for the generosity of the women at the Presbyterian Church of Novato, who have shown their support and compassion for the women in our shelter through their thoughtful gift bags. Each bag contained three lipsticks with a heartwarming message tag, "To Brighten Your Day." This kind gesture will not only bring joy to the women in our shelter, but also serves as a reminder that there are kind and caring individuals in our community. Thank you, PCN, for your ongoing support and for making a difference in the lives of those in need.    If you would like to make an in-kind donation to C4DP, check out our Wishlist online: https://lnkd.in/dd2hSjN #womenhelpingwomen #pcnovato

There are women who choose to be stay-at-home wives/mothers and take care of their families and there are the hashtag “tradwife” Those two are NOT the same. Women should have the freedom to choose their own path in life! If they want to be stay-at-home wives/mothers, we support legislation that recognizes and protects women’s contribution to the family, including domestic labor and childcare. If women want to seek career advances, we support legislation that protect and support women’s right in the job field and workplaces. We support parental leaves for both parents, not just mothers. What we do not support, however, are behaviors that cause harm. The hashtag “tradwife” trend on social media absolutely causes harm to other women. Because they are not promoting women’s freedom to choose, but rather they’re promoting that the supposed 50s “traditional wives” are better than women who chose a different path. We honor all those women, who have uplifted our world by choosing a different path as doctors, lawyers, politicians, scientists, astronauts, etc! #womenareamazing #womencandoanything

To tackle ableism, it's crucial to listen to and amplify the voices of people with disabilities. Their experiences and perspectives matter. Let's be empathetic, challenge assumptions, and support one another. ********************************** Para abordar el capacitismo, es fundamental escuchar y amplificar las voces de las personas con discapacidad. Sus experiencias y perspectivas importan. Seamos empáticos, desafiemos las suposiciones y apoyémonos unos a otros. #C4DP #disabilitypride #disability #disabled #inclusion

On this day in 1848, the first women's rights convention, the Seneca Falls Convention, was held in New York. Thanks to the relentless work of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and many other organizers, 68 women and 32 men, including Frederick Douglass, signed the Declaration of Sentiments. This event sparked decades of activism, eventually leading to the passage of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote. ********************************* Tal día como hoy en 1848, se celebró en Nueva York la primera convención sobre los derechos de la mujer, la Convención de Seneca Falls. Gracias al trabajo incansable de Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott y muchos otros organizadores, 68 mujeres y 32 hombres, incluido Frederick Douglass, firmaron la Declaración de Sentimientos. Este evento provocó décadas de activismo, lo que finalmente condujo a la aprobación de la 19.ª Enmienda que dio a las mujeres el derecho al voto. #WomensRights #SenecaFalls

Racism and discrimination have a profound impact on mental health. It can cause chronic stress, depression, and anxiety, especially for African Americans who have faced systemic racism for generations. As we continue to recognize National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, it is important to have open discussions about the connections between racism, trauma, and mental health in order to promote understanding and support for those who are affected. ******************** El racismo y la discriminación tienen un profundo impacto en la salud mental. Puede causar estrés crónico, depresión y ansiedad, especialmente en los afroamericanos que han enfrentado el racismo sistémico durante generaciones. Mientras continuamos reconociendo el Mes Nacional de Concientización sobre la Salud Mental de las Minorías, es importante tener debates abiertos sobre las conexiones entre el racismo, el trauma y la salud mental para promover la comprensión y el apoyo a quienes se ven afectados. #racism #Systematicracism #NationalMinorityMentalHealthAwareness
