As kids settle back into school after the holidays, many are carrying stress or worry they haven’t yet shared. Relate partners with more than 50 schools to bring counseling directly to students, giving them support right where they are. Donate today to ensure no child is turned away for an inability to pay for services.

With the killing of a community member by ICE agents in Minneapolis this week, our community is mourning and experiencing deep anger, fear, and pain. We recognize that this loss—along with increased ICE activity in our neighborhoods —has intensified distress, especially for immigrants, refugees, mixed-status families, and those who love and support them. We stand in solidarity with our community in grief and in care. We remain committed to holding space for healing, resilience, and collective support during this profoundly difficult time.

During the winter months, seasonal affective disorder (SAD) becomes a very real problem for people of all walks of life. We are here to help anyone experiencing symptoms of SAD, because at Relate, we know that even the longest winters are followed by spring and growth. 🌷

Beat those winter blues by taking care of yourself this winter! Small changes, such as increased light exposure, talking to loved ones, and asking for help, can make a big difference when the weather gets cold. Make sure to avoid isolation whenever you can and find positive moments in your day. The smallest changes can make the biggest difference! ❄💙

Happy Kwanzaa to our African American community members! Celebrated every year from December 26th through January 1st, this holiday honors and highlights African American culture and heritage. It was created in 1966 following the Civil Rights Movement, and is not associated with any one African country, but rather a holiday to celebrate the significance of African American and Pan-African history, values, and culture more broadly. It culminates in a large festival called Karamu on December 31st.

Happy Winter Solstice! December 21st marks the Winter Solstice this year– the day of the year when the Earth reaches its maximum tilt away from the sun, resulting in the minimum hours of daylight and the maximum hours of nighttime that we experience all year. It marks the beginning of winter and has been celebrated throughout the world since before recorded history. Many countries and cultures around the world celebrate the Winter Solstice in a variety of ways, with celebrations typically upholding the theme of renewal or ritual.❄
