Dr. Michelle from Catholic Charities St. Raphael Counseling reminds us that even as faithful Catholics, we can slip into treating the holidays like a long to-do list — gifts, events, cooking, hosting. But Christmas isn’t about doing. It’s about presence, gratitude and relationship. Dr. Michelle invites us to pause and reconnect with the heart of the season — the Christ Child. Let Christmas be a moment to sit with Jesus, rest in His love and remember that before anything else… He came as a baby and everyone loves a baby. 🕯️👶❤️ May this season draw you closer to being with Him. Merry Christmas! 🎄✨ To learn more about St. Raphael Counseling visit: straphaelcounseling.com

Meg from Catholic Charities of Denver St. Raphael Counseling gave a presentation at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School to help parents understand the important difference between school counseling and clinical therapy. She explained that school counseling focuses on supporting students’ social, emotional and academic growth within the school setting, while therapy provides more in-depth mental health treatment in a clinical environment. This conversation helped clarify the unique role of school counselors and how they collaborate with parents and outside providers to best support each student’s well-being.
