Maine APB:

I have a client looking for financial services help that is a reduced or no cost. We've thought about Penquis CAP and Pine Tree Legal Associates, but any other resources would be phenomenal.

Thanks from the client and me in advance!

You want life to feel worth the effort before you invest effort, but the truth is: the effort is what generates the worth.

Speak Up Counseling is considering starting a Transgender Group Therapy program, but I want to hear from providers and the public alike before I start forming anything.

This would be a group for transgender, gender non-conforming, and potentially those with a loved one who identifies as either.

Discussions would be around struggles with living as trans in a heteronormative society, issues with health disparities, celebrating trans joy and accomplishments, expression therapy, social opportunities, processing trauma in a group setting, living as trans in America in 2025, legislation that both helps and hinders quality of life, and any other topics that are relevant and important to the group members.

Please reach out in the comments, through email (jesse@speakupcounseling.com), Messenger, or you can call and leave a message or text at 207-756-6768.

This could be the start of something really important and relevant. Please keep comments and thoughts respectful and focused on this topic. Thanks everyone! -- Jesse

The U.N. has stated we need $40 billion per year to feed all of the world's hungry people and end global hunger by 2030.

If one person would let go of just 12% of his $324,000,000,000 net worth - I'm looking at you, Elon Musk - to feed everyone, then the ultra rich are clearly the ones we need to target for paying to solve the world's problems.

Hello from Speak Up!

Just a quick post to see if there's need for Group Work in the Bangor area. If I've tagged you, please feel free to comment on what you've seen as a need for your clients, especially if anyone in the transgender or overall LGBTQIA+ communities needing help. Thank you, all!

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune

Speak Up Counseling is opening up an IN-PERSON LOCATION starting in May!

And I've already picked out colors for the new space. What do you think of Industrial Modern with accents of yellow, everyone?
