Our CEO, Kevin Smith, LCSW, was invited by Fox17 News to speak on how violence impacts communities and the ways that grief is processed among different groups of people.

At On Your Mind Counseling, we recognize that grief is not only a personal experience — it is a collective one. In moments of loss, communities often come together seeking understanding, comfort, and healing. Kevin emphasized that grief can manifest in many ways — sadness, anger, numbness, or confusion — and that creating supportive spaces is vital for resilience and recovery.

Our position is clear: violence is never the answer — regardless of demographics, political views, socioeconomic status, or any other reason.

We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important conversation, and we remain committed to standing alongside individuals, families, and communities during difficult times, offering both clinical expertise and compassion.

🏅 The Olympic Games are here! As we gear up to watch incredible athletes from around the world compete, it's a perfect time to reflect on the powerful connection between sports and mental health.

Participating in sports can have a profound impact on our mental well-being. Whether it's the thrill of competition, the joy of teamwork, or the simple pleasure of staying active, sports can help reduce stress, boost mood, and improve overall mental health.

For parents, playing sports with your children can be a wonderful way to bond, create lasting memories, and instill valuable life skills. Just like this father and child enjoying a game of catch, these moments of connection and fun are essential for building strong, healthy relationships.

At On Your Mind Counseling, we recognize the importance of balancing physical activity and mental wellness. Whether you're an athlete or simply enjoy a casual game of catch in the park, taking time for sports can be a key part of maintaining your mental health.

Let's celebrate the Olympic spirit by getting active and supporting our mental health together! 🧠💪
