In lieu of a book review this week...When unjust things are happening around us it can be overwhelming and leave people not knowing where to start. There is an important bill being voted on this week that includes increasing funding to DHS and we have a chance to stand up for our community to protect families and neighbors by demanding that it is not approved. The app/website 5calls makes calling representative accessible with sorted topics, appropriate phone numbers and scripts. Hug a friend, cuddle a pet, drink your favorite beverage in the sunlight from a window. In solidarity, ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

Taking a moment to share the exciting news that Common Threads was voted one of of Madisonโ€™s Best Places To Work by Madison Magazine! This is a time when uncertainty and fear are common and justified and we are honored for be trusted by clients and students to be a place of trust and support. We are able to show up for clients and students because of the ways that we work together and are bonded by our aligned values and passions. Thank you to our staff, our leadership team and most of all our community ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ˜ธ๐Ÿ’– It's Wednesday! ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ˜ธ๐Ÿ“š

Were you or someone you love recently diagnosed and looking for the basics?

The Pocket Guide to Neurodiversity by Daniel Aherne is your friendly roadmap to understanding what neurodiversity really means โ€” from autism and ADHD to sensory differences and beyond.

We love how this guide breaks down complex ideas into clear, approachable language, making it a must-read for anyone starting their journey.

Neurodiversity has no borders! Through Irish stories and perspectives, Wired Our Own Way reminds us that being โ€œwired differentlyโ€ is a universal experience โ€” one to celebrate, not change.

โ˜ƒโ„ Friendly reminder that the clinic building will be closed starting tomorrow (December 17th) and reopening on January 5th (2026! woah!). Staff has been in communication about virtual or community sessions and ways to continue therapeutic support while we have exciting renovations done to make our space even more accessible. Happy holidays!

It's that time, folks... ๐Ÿ“šโ˜ƒ๐Ÿง 

"Trauma is Really Strange" turns neuroscience into something relatable and reminds us that understanding is the first step toward healing!

We love how this book invites gentle, stigma-free conversations about trauma - something we all deserve more of (and in a graphic novel)!

Side Note: peep some of our current favorite fidgets in the clinic. Do you recognize any of them?

๐Ÿ“šHappy Wednesday, y'all๐Ÿ“š

๐ŸŒ In a world thatโ€™s always go, go, goโ€ฆ weโ€™re taught to measure our worth by our output. What we do often overshadows who we are.

Slow Productivity by Cal Newport offers practical strategies to step back, redefine productivity, and prevent burnout.

As a neuroaffirming workplace, Common Threads encourages our team to create work systems that actually work for THEM! โœจโœจโœจ

What accommodative workplace strategies support you in burnout prevention?

It has been shared that the FoodShare (SNAP) program will be unable to operate in November. As November approaches we want to do what we can to support people in our community who may be without a stable source of food. From October 27th - November 26th we will have a community food box set up in our entryway at 1717 N Stoughton Rd (the building is setback from the road with a large parking lot in front).

If you are in the position to do so we would love some support in stocking the community box - we are looking for donations of shelf-stable goods like: canned vegetables and fruits, baby formula, canned protein, cooking oil and spice, peanut butter, rice, pasta, cereal, beans and soup. Can openers would also be helpful!

Please share with anyone who might benefit from an additional food source or anyone who could help with donations. In solidarity ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–
