Relational Life Foundation

Today’s children are facing an unprecedented rise in anxiety and depression, and much of it can be traced back to the pervasive influence of technology. While tech connects us in many ways, it often disconnects our kids from themselves and the world around them. Not all hope is lost, however. By fostering meaningful connections, reducing screen time, and encouraging our kids to play and connect to nature, we can bring more joy into our children’s lives and remind them that it’s okay to unplug and be in the moment. #MentalHealthAwareness #KidsAndTech #AnxietyInChildren #HealthyBoundaries #SupportOurYouth #DigitalWellness #EmotionalResilience #ConnectWithNature #MindfulParenting #UnplugAndReconnect

Before we can be vulnerable with someone else, we must learn to be vulnerable with ourselves. When we model self-compassion and vulnerability, we create a safe space for our clients to do the same. Let’s lead with love and understanding, first for ourselves, then for others. #TherapistTips #SelfCompassion #TherapistSupport #VulnerabilityJourney #HealingTogether #TherapistTools #SafeSpaceTherapy #RelationalTherapy #MentalHealthMatters #TherapistLife

Although sharing vulnerably in a group setting could seem intimidating, it has the potential to be quite transformative for us and those we share with. In shared spaces, we are reminded that we’re not alone. Our stories, struggles, and triumphs can inspire and uplift others, helping us heal on a deeper level than we ever could alone. Join us this weekend for our virtual RLT Relationship Skills Bootcamp. If the price is out of reach, simply contact us and we will figure out a sliding scale price that works for you.

Loneliness is more than just an emotional experience — it’s a widespread epidemic affecting mental, physical, and relational health on a global scale. We are on a mission to break the cycle of loneliness and foster meaningful relationships. #EpidemicOfLoneliness #RelationalLifeTherapy #ConnectionMatters #CombatLoneliness #HealingTogether #MentalHealthAwareness #RelationshipHealth #StrongerTogether #RLTCommunity #LonelinessCrisis #SurgeonGeneral #VivekMurthy

Latin American culture, with its strong emphasis on family and community, has historically stigmatized therapy, often viewing it as something only for “crazy” or “white” people. This stigma, coupled with the cultural norm of not discussing difficult emotions and the influence of “machismo,” discourages many from seeking professional mental health support. Instead, struggles are often handled privately within the family or through spiritual guidance. It is important to us that RLT practitioners are sensitive to things like religious/spiritual beliefs, multigenerational living, and traditional family roles. Being aware of various cultural backgrounds and the challenges and barriers that may come with them is at the forefront of our minds. We are on a quest to ensure the work of Relational Life Foundation is accessible to people of all backgrounds, which is why we invite you to comment on this post or write to us if you have suggestions of how we can improve our services and further drive our mission of inclusivity. #CulturalSensitivity #MentalHealthAwareness #InclusiveTherapy #BreakTheStigma #LatinoMentalHealth #TherapyForAll #RelationalLifeTherapy  #MentalHealthMatters #CulturallyCompetentCare #HealingTogether

The first step toward growth is facing what is holding you back. It’s time to break the cycle!

The World Health Organization has designated loneliness as a "global public health concern.” Research has shown that loneliness is as bad for people's health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. In a talk he gave at Yale last year, U.S Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy said he wants to raise the alarm about the shame people associate with loneliness. He states, "To say you're lonely almost feels like saying you're not likable. Or even worse, that you're not lovable.” Let’s bring light to this issue by taking actionable steps toward change. Read our blog on how to help eliminate this pandemic of loneliness through relational tools. https://lnkd.in/gFjzP2qK #CombatLoneliness #MentalHealthAwareness #PublicHealthCrisis #EndTheStigma #ConnectAndHeal #LonelinessAwareness #RelationalHealth #HealthyConnections #SupportAndUnderstanding #BreakTheSilence
