Kindness doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. A gentle word, a soft moment, a small act of care — it all ripples farther than we realize. Happy World Kindness Day. 💜

In Loving Memory of Deborah McNelis
The Powerful Project honors our dear friend and founding Board Member, Deborah McNelis, whose unwavering support, insight, and compassion helped shape our mission from the very beginning.

Deb devoted her life to educating the world about Neuro-Nurturing®—the importance of early brain development and relationships in building healthy, resilient humans. Her work beautifully complemented our mission to promote quality and equitable mental health for all brains.

Deb’s light, wisdom, and dedication to nurturing both children and caregivers will continue to inspire all we do. She will be profoundly missed by our team, our community, and everyone whose lives she touched.

If you would like to make a donation in Deborah’s memory, please note that with your contribution. We are thoughtfully determining the most meaningful way to honor her legacy.

Forever in our hearts, forever guiding our mission.
-Nurturing with Brain Insights

Today, we join communities across the globe in honoring the importance of mental health—for every age, journey, and story. At The Powerful Project, we believe that no person should be turned away from the support they need.

On this day, we reaffirm our commitment to neurodiversity-affirming care, accessible therapy, and building a connected community where individuals, parents and caregivers feel seen and supported.

If you (or someone you love) is struggling silently—please reach out. You deserve help, understanding, and hope. Let’s keep creating spaces of care, resilience, and compassion together.

Hello Facebook Friends!
Two weeks ago, we hosted our first Music for Mental Health event—and we’re still glowing from the energy, support, and love that filled the day. 💚

We're continuing to raise funds to offer mental health scholarships to young adults who otherwise wouldn’t be able to access care. Every dollar makes a difference.

Just to put things into perspective:
👉 If 5 people donated $20/month, it would cover one full therapy session.
👉 If 4 people donated $25/month, that’s another session funded.

Our goal is to create continuity and consistency for the teens and young adults we serve—because that’s what healing truly needs.

Whether it’s a one-time gift or a recurring monthly donation, you are giving someone the chance to get the support they deserve.

💛 Thank you for considering. You are seen. You are appreciated. You are making a real difference.

🧘‍♀️ International Self-Compassion Day is July 19th! 💛

Let’s take a moment to turn inward with kindness. Self-compassion means noticing when we’re struggling, remembering we’re not alone, and responding to ourselves with the same care we’d offer a friend.

Studies show that self-compassion boosts our mental, emotional, and physical well-being—and helps us support others without burning out.

This July 19th, join the global movement: Pause, breathe, and treat yourself with gentleness. Because caring for yourself isn't selfish—it's essential. 💫
