At the BRAIN Center we believe in truly holistic care that involves everyone in the family. Our unique approach involves tailored mental health interventions with the child and their caregivers to promote healing for all involved.

Self-care is about nurturing your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It’s the practice of taking time to recharge and tend to your own needs, ensuring you remain balanced and resilient. Self-care can look different for everyone—it might mean taking a quiet moment for yourself, engaging in a favorite hobby, setting boundaries to protect your energy, or simply allowing yourself rest. It's important to recognize that self-care isn't selfish; it's a necessary component of maintaining overall health and effectiveness. By prioritizing self-care, you equip yourself to handle life’s challenges more effectively and with greater resilience. It’s not just about grand gestures; small, consistent acts of care can make a profound difference. #selfcare #traumainformedcare #mentalhealthmatters

Today we are celebrating our three graduating interns: Lauren, Tiara, and Kinsey as they're off to their next adventure. These three interns have been at the BRAIN Center for three semesters providing bedside and outpatient counseling to children and families at @lebonheurchildrens. 🎉🎉🎉

Fostering a positive relationship with your child involves several key practices: ✨Actively listening to their thoughts and feelings to show you value their perspective. ✨Demonstrating empathy and understanding to create a safe emotional environment. ✨Spend lots of fun quality time together. ✨Celebrating their achievements to boost their self-esteem and motivation. These steps create a nurturing and supportive atmosphere that helps your child thrive.

Our BRAIN Center counseling interns recently hosted an expressive arts activity for the SHIFT (supporting and healing individuals from trauma) team at @lebonheurchildrens! self-care is essential for maintaining a balanced and fulfilling life, contributing to overall happiness and well-being. We are thankful to work alongside such wonderful individuals!

Going to therapy can evoke a wide range of feelings, all of which are completely normal. All these feelings are part of the therapeutic journey. It's important to communicate these emotions with your therapist, as they can help address and work through them. #normalizetherapy #traumainformedcare #mentalhealthmatters
