🧧✨ Happy Lunar New Year! 🐎🔥

As we welcome the Year of the Fire Horse, may this new beginning remind us to chase what matters, protect our peace, and stay true to ourselves even in seasons of change. And as we start a new chapter, may we also give ourselves permission to rest, reset, and heal along the way. 🌿

Wishing everyone strength, clarity, and meaningful connections in the year ahead.

This January, we’re grateful to see our alumni interns continuously supporting our direct services, including counseling, crisis line operations, and trainings. Their commitment shows how learning and service extend beyond the internship experience.

We also welcomed 12 new interns, 6 graduate and 6 undergraduate interns, selected from 69 applicants representing 19 schools. Each brings fresh energy, compassion, and a strong dedication to mental health service. Through hands-on training, close mentorship, and real-world experience, we continue building the capacity of our future mental health professionals, one intern, one service, and one life at a time.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💛 Join us for our upcoming Kapihan Learning Session, 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: 𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚 🧒🏻👧🏽👶🏻

Children flourish when they feel valued, understood, and nurtured in their everyday relationships 💞 In this workshop, we will focus on three core caregiver skills: validation, co-regulation, and clear communication. We will also explore how expressing these through a child’s primary love language can transform moments of conflict into powerful opportunities for emotional growth and resilience 🧠✨

Grounded in brain-based research, this session offers practical tools to help parents, caregivers, and educators navigate big emotions, meltdowns, and everyday power struggles while staying connected, especially when things feel hardest 🤝💬
