💙 Sexual Assault Awareness Month 💙
This month is a time to center and support survivors of sexual assault.
If you have experienced sexual violence, your feelings, reactions, and healing process are valid. There is no “right” way or timeline to heal.
Many survivors carry shame or self-blame, or feel pressure to move on quickly. In reality, healing takes time, compassion, and safe, supportive spaces. Trauma-informed therapy can help individuals process their experiences, rebuild a sense of safety, and reconnect with their voice and strength.
Prevention is also an important part of this work. It begins with conversations around consent, respect, and healthy relationships—and with communities that believe and support survivors.
You deserve to be believed. You deserve support. You are not alone.

🐾💙 National Pet Month at CCA! 💙🐾
We’re back with another CCA pet spotlight, and this one is a perfect example of how every pet has their own unique personality! 🐱✨
Meet: 🐈‍⬛💛 Frankie & Tea – Liberty receptionist Michael’s cats!
Frankie is a black Maine C**n mix who isn’t afraid to make his needs known—he’ll definitely let you hear about it when he wants something! 😂🐾
Tea, on the other hand, is an elegant white Scottish Fold with a more “refined” personality. She’s got an aristocratic vibe 👑 and tends to “yell” when she’s happy! 💕 Even though they’re siblings, they’ve developed completely opposite communication styles—and somehow, it makes caring for them even easier! 🐾✨
We love seeing the unique personalities of all the CCA pets and the joy they bring into our lives! 💙
💬 Drop a photo of your pet in the comments!
Tell us their name and a fun fact or personality trait—we’d love to meet them! 🐾

🎧🚨 National Dispatches Week 🚨🎧
April 12–18, 2026
The public often sees the “after”—but the “before” is a complex, high-stakes process managed by dispatchers in real time.
Behind the scenes, they are not simply answering phones. They are actively triaging crises, managing intense emotions, gathering critical information, and providing calm, steady guidance in moments of chaos.
Dispatchers are the vital link between the call for help and the arrival of first responders. They ensure responders have the information they need to arrive prepared, while supporting callers through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. This week, we recognize and thank the professionals who work behind the screens to help keep our communities safe. Your work may not always be visible—but it is essential, and it matters.
We see you. We appreciate you.

Whether it’s sitting quietly beside a client, offering a gentle nudge, or simply being a calming presence, therapy dogs play a powerful role in emotional well-being. Their ability to create safety, reduce stress, and foster connection is truly remarkable.

April is Alcohol Awareness Month 💙
This month is a reminder to pause and reflect on our relationship with alcohol and how it may be impacting our mental health, relationships, and daily life.
For many, alcohol can become a way to cope with stress, anxiety, or overwhelming emotions—but it’s important to check in with ourselves and our habits.
If you’ve ever questioned whether your drinking is supporting your well-being, you’re not alone. Talking with a therapist can help you better understand your relationship with alcohol, develop healthier coping strategies, and create goals that align with your needs.
Support is available, and change is possible.
