This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating all kinds of love — romantic, platonic, self-love, and everything in between. 💗

Love doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.
A kind word. A shared laugh. A moment of stillness.

Here’s your reminder to check in with your heart today — and lead with compassion.

In this video, Maegan Wickstrom, LMSW explains Mental Health First Aid — an evidence-based approach that helps individuals respond thoughtfully and effectively when someone is struggling or in crisis.

Mental Health First Aid focuses on:
• Listening without judgment
• Offering support and validation
• Helping someone feel seen and understood
• Connecting individuals to the right resources — not “fixing” the problem

As a therapist trained in Mental Health First Aid, Maegan works with patients and families to provide practical tools and guidance that help people feel more prepared during challenging moments.

💙 Support starts with understanding.

In this video, Dr. Ashley Ceresnie, PhD breaks down the comprehensive evaluation process at RCBM and how it helps families and individuals find clarity.

Psychological evaluations can be incredibly helpful for those experiencing:
📚 Academic struggles
🧩 Autism Spectrum Disorder
🧠 Difficulty focusing or staying organized
🤝 Challenges with social cues or making friends
💬 Emotional regulation issues like anxiety or adaptability

Each evaluation begins with a diagnostic screening and, if needed, progresses to a deeper assessment of cognitive, academic, emotional, and social functioning. The goal? To provide an accurate diagnosis and actionable plan tailored to each person’s needs.

When the Groundhog sees its shadow… we see more time for self-care. 🦫

Whether it’s 6 more weeks of winter or an early spring, it’s always the right season to check in on your mental health.

So take a moment today to do something kind for yourself. Even if that just means… not reliving the same day over and over again. 😉

Here’s to closing out the year with warmth, gratitude, and connection. 💙
