Today we welcomed our newest counseling students at orientation, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Each year, our program grows—not just in numbers, but in purpose, passion, and community.

At UNO Counseling, our motto is “training our colleagues,” and we mean it. From day one, our students step into a supportive professional community where they’re valued, challenged, and prepared to lead.
Here’s to a meaningful year ahead! 🖤❤️

As the days grow shorter, remember to:
✨ Slow down
✨ Make space for rest
✨ Acknowledge your feelings
✨ Take one day at a time

Your glow comes from within — even when the world feels dark. 💚

As the semester gets busier and the days grow shorter, remember: progress doesn’t have to be perfect. 💛
Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can.

Even small steps forward count. 🌟

Even counselors need time to recharge! Members of our faculty recently played pickleball together as a way to stay active and connected.
As we move into the colder months, remember—mental health matters all year long.
What helps you take care of your mind and body this time of year?

Feeling more tired, irritable, or unmotivated as the days get shorter? You’re not alone. Seasonal depression—also called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)—can affect focus, mood, and energy levels as the seasons change.

🌤️ The good news: support is available.
At the UNO Community Counseling Clinic, our graduate counselors provide affordable, compassionate care to help you manage mood changes and rediscover balance.

Every sunrise is a quiet reminder that no matter how heavy the night felt, light will always return.

Healing and growth can feel slow — sometimes it’s one small step at a time, barely noticeable until you look back and see how far you’ve come.

Take today gently. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just begin again, like the morning does.

💛 Each day is a new chance to start over.

Sometimes the world asks us to go faster — to fix, to push, to keep moving.
But healing often asks us to pause.

Just like the stillness of the water reflects what’s around it, quiet moments can help us see what’s within us.
Take time to rest, to breathe, and to let things settle. You don’t have to rush your growth.

🩵 Healing happens in stillness, too.

10/26/2025

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is pause.
Take a deep breath.
Let your shoulders drop.
Let your body remember what calm feels like.

Rest isn’t laziness — it’s recovery.
It’s how your mind and body reset so you can keep showing up for yourself and others.

🫶 Take a moment today to breathe, stretch, or simply be still.
You deserve rest just as much as you deserve growth.
