This May, TCA is celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month by highlighting our collective ability to remain rooted in resilience.
To be rooted in resilience means having the strength to remain grounded—especially in the midst of chaos, crisis, or compassion fatigue.
For counselors, resilience isn’t just a buzzword.
It’s the quiet decision to show up again and again, to carry the stories of others with care, and to keep believing in the healing process—even when the path forward isn’t clear.
But roots need soil.
And soil needs tending.
When Counselors Don’t Feel That Stability...
Even the most compassionate professionals can feel untethered. When the emotional load is too heavy, when systemic challenges mount, when advocacy feels like shouting into the wind… even the strongest counselor can start to feel uprooted.
Burnout creeps in.
Purpose starts to blur.
And isolation replaces connection.
That’s why community and support aren’t optional—they’re essential.
TCA is more than a membership.
It’s a shared foundation—a place where counselors can come back to when their own strength feels worn.
We help our members stay rooted by:
🌱 Advocating for policies that protect your practice and profession
🌱 Educating through meaningful, relevant professional development
🌱 Connecting counselors across the state for support, mentoring, and shared growth
🌱 Lifting voices through leadership, service, and representation
In a world that often underestimates the emotional labor of mental health work, TCA helps counselors remain anchored, valued, and seen.
TCA stands with you this Mental Health Awareness Month—and every month—in honoring the vital role of self-care, so you can continue showing up with strength and compassion for the communities that count on you.
