Complimentary Registration for Furloughed Counselors & Social Workers

Every day, counselors and social workers pour into others, holding space for healing, guiding families through crisis, and showing up with compassion when the world feels heavy.
And now, many of those same professionals are being impacted by the government shutdown.

That’s why the Mississippi Minority Mental Health Symposium is offering a limited number of complimentary registrations for licensed counselors and social workers who are currently furloughed from federal, state, or local government agencies.

This opportunity includes:
✨ Community Conversation Night – Thursday, December 4, 2025
✨ 5th Annual Mississippi Minority Mental Health Symposium – Friday, December 5, 2025
📍 Gulf Coast Event Center 9475 Highway 49 Gulfport, Mississippi
This year’s theme, “Redefining Mental Health Care: Integrating Culture, Systems, and Clinical Practice in Minority Communities,” will challenge and inspire us to reimagine what culturally responsive, community-centered care truly looks like.

If you or someone you know is currently furloughed, please take a moment to apply — and share this with your network.
Even one share could help a colleague find the encouragement and connection they need right now.

General Registration is $125 which includes continential breakfast and lunch. 7 CEUs for social workers and counselors have been applied for.

What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

You’ve probably heard the term “CBT” tossed around in therapy spaces, but here’s the plain-language version: CBT helps you catch unhelpful thoughts before they spiral into habits or emotions that keep you stuck. It’s based on one simple but powerful loop:

Thoughts → Feelings → Actions

When you change one part of that loop, the others start to shift too.

Try this:
Next time you notice yourself thinking, “I always mess things up,” pause and write down three times you didn’t.
Then notice how your body feels afterward—lighter? calmer? more capable? That’s CBT in motion.

It’s not about forcing “positive thinking.” It’s about learning to challenge the stories your mind tells so your emotions and actions can finally line up with the truth.

🎉 One Year of Compassionate Care: Celebrating Sarah Rein, LMSW 🎉

November 1 marks one year since Sarah Rein, LMSW, joined Premier Professional Counseling Services — and what a difference she has made in the lives of our clients and team.

With over seven years of experience in mental health care, Sarah brings a trauma-informed, relational approach to her work with children and adolescents (ages 5–18). From managing anxiety, PTSD, and depression to navigating self-esteem and family dynamics, Sarah uses empathy, creativity, and evidence-based strategies to meet clients where they are.

Whether she’s engaging young clients through art, music, and journaling or guiding teens through difficult emotions with Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) or Trauma-Focused CBT, Sarah makes therapy a safe and empowering space. She’s known for her warmth, humor, and deep commitment to client growth.

We’re incredibly grateful to have Sarah as part of the Premier team, where she serves as an Associate Therapist under the supervision of Jocelyn Gavin Lane, LCSW, MPH.

Ever feel like your anxiety doesn’t match what’s happening around you?

That’s because anxiety is rarely just about the moment—it’s about the layers beneath the surface.

The Anxiety Iceberg reminds us that what we show on the outside is often just the tip.

Underneath? Shame. Grief. Fear. Perfectionism. Exhaustion. Trauma.

When you start to understand those root causes, you move from managing symptoms to reclaiming power.

Therapy helps you explore beneath the iceberg—not just what floats above.

🌾 Premier Professional Counseling Services Gives Back 🌾

We know that times are especially hard right now. With the government shutdown and SNAP benefits not being issued this month, many families across our community are feeling the strain.

At Premier Professional Counseling Services (PPCS), we believe in showing up for our community — not only inside the therapy room but outside of it too. 💚

That’s why we’re continuing our Thanksgiving Dinner Gratitude Basket Giveaway and our Giving Shelf Food Drive to support those impacted this season.

The Giving Shelf is specially designed to support current PPCS clients who may need access to food, hygiene, and household essentials. It’s our way of extending care beyond sessions — meeting both emotional and practical needs when it matters most.

From warm meals to pantry staples, Premier is committed to ensuring that no one in our community feels forgotten or alone. Compassion and care don’t stop at the counseling door — they reach every table, every home, and every family we serve.

If you or someone you know could use a little extra support, please scan the QR code.

Together, we can make this season one of hope, gratitude, and community. 🍂

💞 The 5 Love Languages & Mental Health 💞

Knowing how you give and receive love isn’t just about relationships—it’s also about emotional regulation, self-awareness, and healing.

Here’s how the 5 Love Languages show up in your mental health journey:

1️⃣ Words of Affirmation — Encouraging words can quiet your inner critic and remind you that you’re worthy.
2️⃣ Acts of Service — Doing something kind for yourself (like meal prepping or cleaning your space) can reduce anxiety and boost stability.
3️⃣ Receiving Gifts — Small tokens of self-care—like lighting a candle or buying that journal—can reinforce your sense of value.
4️⃣ Quality Time — Spending intentional time alone or with people who refill your energy helps combat burnout and loneliness.
5️⃣ Physical Touch — A hug, a weighted blanket, or mindful breathing can lower stress hormones and increase calm.

Love languages aren’t just about romance—they’re tools to better understand what safety and connection look like for you.
