🏳️‍⚧️ Today we honor Transgender Day of Remembrance. November 20th is a day to remember and honor those who have lost their lives due to anti-transgender violence. It's also an opportunity to educate your children about the importance of being allies to transgender and nonbinary youth. The Trevor Project offers valuable resources to start this crucial conversation.

https://www.thetrevorproject.org/resources/guide/a-guide-to-being-an-ally-to-transgender-and-nonbinary-youth/

We stand with our transgender community members—celebrating their courage, their stories, and the strength it takes to live authentically in a world that doesn’t always make that easy.

Everyone deserves safety, dignity, and access to care without fear or judgment.

At Iowa Family Counseling, we remain committed to providing an affirming, welcoming
space for every person seeking support.

You matter. Your identity matters. Your well-being matters.

With food insecurities rising and SNAP benefits still being suspended, we’ve added a Little Pantry outside our office doors.

It’s simple: take what you need, leave what you can.

No questions, no judgment — just neighbors caring for neighbors.

If you’re facing a tough moment, please help yourself. If you’re able to give, even one item makes a difference. We’re grateful to be part of a community that looks out for one another. ❤️

🧠 Prioritizing the Helpers: Taking Care of Provider Mental Health 🫶🏼

Sometimes, those who give care forget to care for themselves. In one of our articles, we remind every provider — counselor, teacher, social worker, first responder — that you are a whole person, with needs, limits, and worth beyond your role.

Highlights we explore:
• You can’t pour from an empty cup — your capacity to support others depends on self-care, too
• Boundaries aren’t selfish — they protect your energy, focus, and resilience
• “No” is a complete sentence — you don’t owe endless justification
• Carve breathing room into your schedule — your creativity, rest, and joy deserve space
• You’re allowed to ask for help, take time off, or shift expectations

If you’re in a role where you’re pouring into others — this one’s for you. You deserve support, rest, and renewal.

At Iowa Family Counseling, we believe that mental health is foundational — especially in times of upheaval, disaster, or trauma. Communities, caregivers, and systems must be ready not only to respond physically, but emotionally, too.

On this day, we commit to:
•Amplifying access to mental health support during emergencies
•Centering care for providers and frontline workers
•Strengthening resilience in communities under stress
•Encouraging open conversations — in homes, schools, organizations

📣 Join us in this call to action
Whether you’re in Des Moines, rural Iowa, or anywhere across the globe — reach out, check in, be present.
Share this post. Invite someone to talk. Normalize seeking help.

You don’t wait until the storm is over to care for your mind.
Because mental health is essential — before, during, and after.
