Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, and if you’re feeling some type of way about it, we get it. šŸ’”

Whether you’re single and tired of the reminders, in a relationship that doesn’t look like the movies, healing from heartbreak, or just not into performative love… this space is for you.

Let’s normalize this: Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romance.

Love isn’t limited to relationships, and self-care isn’t gendered. This season can be about choosing care that honors you, exactly where you are.

Maybe you’re not in your ā€œlove era.ā€

Maybe you’re in your healing era. Your growth era. Your figuring-it-out era. Your learning-to-love-yourself-first era, and that’s more than enough.

Real self-love looks like:

šŸ–¤ Caring for your mind—slowing down, unplugging, praying, journaling, or sitting in silence

šŸ–¤ Caring for your body—resting, moving gently, and nourishing yourself without punishment

šŸ–¤ Caring for your heart—checking in with your emotions and setting boundaries where love feels draining

You don’t need a partner to be whole.

You don’t need roses to be worthy.

You don’t need a Valentine to validate your existence.

You are enough, right now, as you are.

What era are you in this Valentine’s season? Tell us below. šŸ‘‡šŸ¾

Real talk: love shouldn’t hurt, but nobody taught us that. 🚩

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, and we need to talk about what happens when love gets twisted, especially in BIPOC communities, where harmful patterns are often normalized or silenced.

Too often:

• ā€œWhat happens at home stays at homeā€ keeps victims quiet

• Cultural shame discourages reporting abuse

• Teens are told to ā€œwork it outā€ even when it’s unsafe

• Young people aren’t shown what healthy love looks like

🚨 Red flags that get normalized:

• Constantly checking your phone

• Isolating you from friends or family

• Explosive jealousy disguised as ā€œcareā€

• Guilt-tripping you for setting boundaries

• Any form of physical intimidation, pushing, grabbing, or ā€œplaying aroundā€ that doesn’t feel safe

For parents: Have the conversation before it’s needed. Create space where your teen can come to you without fear or shame.

For young people: You deserve a relationship where you feel safe, seen, and free, not controlled.

Love is meant to build you up, not break you down.

Drop a šŸ’œ if you’re committed to breaking cycles of unhealthy love.

As a parent or caregiver, you know your child best.

If something feels off, changes in mood, energy, sleep, or how connected they feel, trust that instinct.

Starting the conversation matters more than having all the answers. Showing up, listening without judgment, and letting your child know they’re not alone can make a real difference in their mental well-being.

At TCFWC, we believe support starts at home, but you don’t have to do it alone. Learning how to recognize signs, talk openly about mental health, and connect to care when needed is a powerful step toward protecting your child’s emotional health.

This resource from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health offers helpful guidance for parents and caregivers looking to support their child and access additional care:

Thank you to for sharing tools that help families start these important conversations.

Trust your instincts. Lead with love. And remember, asking for support is part of caring well.

Before therapy was trending on TikTok, Black folks were:

• Creating healing spaces when white institutions shut us out

• Passing down wisdom through spirituals, sermons, and kitchen-table talks

• Surviving generations of trauma while being told to ā€œstay strongā€

• Building the foundation of Black psychology when systems weren’t built for us

Because of pioneers like Beverly Daniel Tatum, Robert Lee Williams II, Inez Beverly Prosser, and Joseph L. White, we have pathways to healing that center culture, identity, and lived experience.

Black history is mental health history.

And we’re still writing it—every conversation, every boundary, every step toward healing.

Joy doesn’t have to be spontaneous to be meaningful.

Sometimes, it’s something we plan for—small moments that remind us we’re alive, connected, and worthy of ease.

How are you finding moments of joy today?

What does quality of life mean to you?

For some, it’s peace of mind. For others, it’s connection with family. For many, it’s simply feeling understood.

This January, we’ve been celebrating International Quality of Life Month—reflecting on what truly matters when it comes to wellness.

At TCFWC, we believe quality of life is about more than just getting by. It’s about: 🌱 Thriving, not just surviving 🌱 Feeling rooted in your culture and community 🌱 Having access to care that truly sees you

Here’s to a year where we all prioritize what makes life worth living. šŸ’œ

Self-love isn’t bubble baths and face masks (though those are nice too šŸ›).

Real self-love looks like: šŸ’™ Setting boundaries even when it’s uncomfortable šŸ’™ Asking for help when you need it šŸ’™ Honoring your emotions without judgment šŸ’™ Prioritizing your mental health šŸ’™ Choosing yourself, even when it’s hard

January is Self-Love Month, and we want to remind you: taking care of your mental wellness isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

What’s one way you’re practicing self-love this month? šŸ‘‡šŸ¾
