The shirt was actually gifted to her by her dad, inspired by the joke “the average American thinks about Abraham Lincoln at least once a day”. Well, we’re definitely hitting our quota! Happy President’s Day from the ACS team!🇺🇸

In mental health and in life, healing rarely asks us to see the whole path; it only asks us to take the next brave step.🪜🙌🏻 Today, we honor Dr. King's legacy by remembering that faith, courage, and compassion matter in mental health, in personal growth, and in how we care for one another. 🕊️✨

Dismissing your own feelings and concerns can be a sign of internal invalidation, also known as ‘self-gaslighting.’ Give yourself permission to pause and feel your emotions instead of brushing them aside!! ⏸️✨🧠

Recognize the signs of “self-gaslighting”—when you internalize the dismissive voices you’ve heard from others—and learn to take your own needs and emotions seriously.
