Ever get the feeling people are always watching, judging, or talking about you? You’re not alone. For many, this sense of being judged is a real part of their mental health journey: it can show up as worry, self-doubt, or even paranoia. Sometimes, past experiences or stress make us more sensitive to how we’re seen by others. But remember, your feelings matter, and you deserve support! If this sounds familiar, reaching out for help doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you: it’s part of taking care of your mind, just like you would your body. Here at L&G Support Services, we’re all about listening, understanding, and showing you that you never have to walk this path alone. You matter. We’re here.

Bullying is a crisis touching every school, and every family. According to the CDC, about 1 in 5 students report being bullied each year, and research from NIMH shows that bullying is a major risk factor for teen su***de. Teens who are bullied are far more likely to feel hopeless, with su***de now the second leading cause of death among young people. It doesn't matter where you live or what you look like, bullying scars everyone.

We can't be silent. At L&G Support Services, LLC, we know that lasting change starts with each of us standing up, speaking out, and supporting those who need help. If you or someone you love is struggling, please reach out. There is hope, and support is here.

Did you know?
According to the U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory on Social Media and Youth Mental Health, and corroborated by Yale Medicine and the Pew Research Center, excessive use, especially more than 3 hours per day, is associated with an increased risk of depression among teens and young adults.
Research shows that teens and young adults who spend more than 3 hours a day on social media are at a higher risk of depression? Small changes can make a big difference. Try setting daily time limits, unfollow accounts that don’t serve your well-being, and take tech breaks to reconnect with yourself.

Comparing your life to others online can lower self-esteem, but taking time offline helps you focus on your own growth and peace. Remember, taking care of your mind is an act of self-love. Choose what nourishes you every day.

Grief isn’t just about loss; it touches each person in their own unique way. You might notice sadness, anger, numbness, changes in sleep or appetite, or even physical aches and pains. Some people feel isolated, while others experience waves of emotion that come and go.

Grief can impact our entire well-being: emotionally, physically, and even socially. Cultural background, community, and personal beliefs often shape how we express and process grief, and it's important to support every unique experience.

Coping strategies can include talking with trusted friends or family, engaging in creative outlets, journaling, practicing mindfulness, joining support groups, or honoring memories in meaningful ways. Remember, it’s okay to take things one day at a time and find what works best for you: there’s no right or wrong way to grieve.

At L&G Support Services, LLC, we walk alongside every journey. You’re not alone; your feelings matter and are a part of your healing journey.

Did you know that nearly 1 in 7 adults aged 60 and older experience mental health disorders, most commonly depression and anxiety? Loneliness and isolation make these struggles even harder, but family support can make a real difference. The World Health Organization reports that family involvement helps reduce loneliness and boost mental health for older adults (WHO, 2023: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/mental-health-of-older-adults).

A recent SAMHSA report highlights that tailored support from family members not only improves older adults’ well-being but also helps them stick with their treatment plans (SAMHSA, 2024: https://www.samhsa.gov/older-adults). And new 2025 research published in PubMed shows that family closeness: having children nearby or a supportive spouse: is linked to lower dementia risk and better outcomes for older adults facing cognitive decline (PubMed, 2025: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38392901/).

Small actions: reaching out, visiting, or simply listening: can have a lasting impact on the mental well-being of our elders. Let’s stay connected and support each other, every step of the way.

Hi friends,
You guessed it. It's Mental Illness Awareness week!!!

“The Quiet Fight”
In silent rooms, the mind may race,
A thousand thoughts, no resting place.
Behind each smile, a storm may brew,
Yet strength is found in making it through.
Not every wound is seen or heard,
Not every pain speaks with a word.
But still we rise, and still we try,
To hold the light, to reach the sky.
A gentle check-in, “Are you okay?”
Might be the hope that saves the day.
So let us listen, let us care,
Let’s show the world we’re truly there.

For every soul that walks this road,
You’re not alone—you’re not a load.
Mental illness is not a shame,
It’s part of life, not just a name.

This week we stand, this week we speak,
For those who feel unheard, unseen,
Together strong, together kind— We lift each other, mind by mind.
-Arthur, Unknown

Hi all!!
This month is very near and dear to me. It is July, Disability Pride Month, and it’s a time to recognize, respect, and truly include people with disabilities; not just in words, but in action.
Most people that have a disability whether physical, intellectual, or a mental health diagnosis aren’t asking for special treatment. They’re asking for the same opportunities, the same dignity, and the same chance to thrive as anyone else.
That means making space. That means listening. That means creating environments where people feel like they belong; not just legally, but emotionally and practically.
Accommodations aren’t extras, they are essentials. Noone deserves to be stared at, mocked, or made to feel like they don’t belong. My father had his leg amputated at 73, and it’s heartbreaking to see how often people stop and stare at him. It’s inappropriate, and it’s painful.
Before we judge, let’s try to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. We might see strength where we once saw difference. We might find understanding where there was once discomfort.
Let’s develop spaces that reflect empathy, respect, and true inclusion. Let’s stand beside the disability community—not just in July, but every day.

Be kind, dont judge, offer support!!!

Hi friends,
You guessed it, May is Mental Health Awareness month!!!
Always remmber, your mental health is a journey of self-discovery and growth.”It is always ok, to seek support from others when needed. Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being, and it affects how you think, feel, and behave. Without good mental health, it can be difficult to manage daily stressors and challenges, which can lead to negative consequences in all areas of life. Engaging in positive mental health hygiene can improve our overall wellbeing.
