Happy As*xual Awareness Week!!

As a community mental health agency specializing in gender, s*x, and relational diversity (GSRD), we are deeply grateful to all members of our community for the insights each identity and lived experience brings to our work. This week we are thankful for our as*xual family for reminding us everyday that there is so much more to healthy intimate relationships than s*x. When much of the common discourse associated with GSRD focuses on s*x and gender differences, we can lose sight of the reality that we are simply humans engaging in relationships.

Relationships are like a shared meal with a recipe of needs specific to the members of that relationship. Think of it like dietary needs but instead it is intimacy needs. S*x is only one ingredient and there are many ways to meet intimacy and connection needs without s*x. Just as there are many ways to meet protein needs without meat or grain needs without gluten.

There is a lot of socialized pressure under the dominant culture that relationships mean s*x. While many relationships require s*x in their connection styles, relationships without it are equally possible and valid. This can be a lot to unpack and overcome.

Together we can challenge the programming that relationships mean s*x. We believe you can find the right recipe for your relationships. If you would like support in this unpacking and redefining process, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Happy LGBTQIA2+ History Month, Y'all!

Time flies when history is made everyday! We are ever grateful to our ancestors and predecessors in bringing social change and protections for everyone in our communities. We join together with you this month in celebrating those that came before, those that are fighting now, and for our future generations as history continues to be made.

When history making is a lot, sometimes we need a little extra support and help. Hope Development Practice can be that safe place to land and process all that is going on for you and your loved ones.

FREE Mindfulness Group Alert!

At Hope Development we believe in community driven care and making resources accessible. Many of our intern clinicians are starting groups for mindfulness and somatic experiences. We would like to think of it as a ‘pause’ during your week to regroup and refocus on your body and mind.

Please fill out the form below so we can assess what the needs of the community are and form the groups around as many people as we can. If you aren’t interested now but want to be notified at a later time, still fill out the form and we’ll make sure to keep you up to date.

This is an opportunity for you and/or your household to join in to one of the groups to experience. These will be open groups so come as you can. They also are FREE of charge for all participants!

The groups will be 1 hour long and will include a clinician teaching us a breathing/meditation/mindfulness technique and how it supports our mind and body. They will then lead us through the exercise. Sometime during we will check in with members that day as well. From “this is my first time” to “I am a dedicated breathing star”, these groups can provide support and new ways to regulate your body during the week.

Due to a tech error our National Coming Out Day post from this past Saturday (October 11, 2025) did not go through. We find this a wholesome reminder that we rarely come out when others deem it appropriate and that we all arrive at this phase of our identity reclamation in our own space and time.

Assess your surroundings and who you disclose your information to. Find safe community. If you need support in processing your identity, building those relationships, and creating a sense of community in your life, our team can help.

You are seen, valid, and never alone.

We invite everyone to take a few moments this Indigenous Peoples Day to pause, reflect, and show kinship for our friends and home here on Turtle Island. May this day and the days to come bring increased awareness and efforts in our responsibility to care for our neighbors and the sacred lands we inhabit.

Thank you for the lessons you have shared and continue to share. May we continue to learn, grow, and heal together.

Our appreciation for teachers is truly heartfelt. We cannot overstate our gratitude and admiration for our educators. Teachers not only foster learning and education, but they also provide safe spaces for our youth to be themselves as they learn to navigate complex social situations. Our teachers are at the forefront of generational and cultural evolution. Thank you for helping our kids learn how to collaborate and grow safely together with respect and dignity.
