April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness and take steps toward keeping children safe.

Discipline and abuse are not the same. Effective discipline teaches and guides children, while abuse harms and leaves lasting scars - physically, emotionally, and psychologically.

Nexus Family Healing's blog shows caregivers how to:
- Stay calm and model healthy coping
- Set clear, age-appropriate expectations
- Connect and communicate with your child

Together, we can help children feel safe and supported.

As a parent, guardian, or caregiver, it’s crucial to understand the difference between discipline and abuse.

It’s spring, a season of growth, renewal, and sometimes, unexpected loneliness.

Even as the days get longer and warmer, many of us feel disconnected from our communities, friends, and loved ones. That isolation can quietly feed anxiety, depression, and stress.

Check out Nexus Family Healing's tips for gradually rebuilding your connections and bringing a little more joy into your spring: https://buff.ly/9uvN3hm

Loneliness is on the rise, and rebuilding meaningful connections can feel harder than ever. As social habits shift and relationships take more effort to maintain, loneliness can quietly become the norm for youth and adults. So how do we begin to recover?

Sometimes the impact of trauma doesn’t show up right away. On a recent episode of Nexus Family Healing's "In This Family" podcast, Paul Scheer shares how growing up with an abusive stepfather affected his relationship with anger, conflict, and connection, patterns he didn’t fully understand until later in life.

At SERCC, we see how past experiences can surface in the present, especially during moments of stress, overwhelm, or crisis. Whether it’s something that just happened or something from years ago, support matters.

Listen to the conversation for a deeper look at how trauma can shape mental health, and why reaching out is a powerful first step.

If you or someone you love is experiencing a mental health crisis, help is available. Open daily 8 a.m. - 10 p.m. We welcome all individuals and all ages.

During Employee Appreciation Week, our SERCC team took time to celebrate each other, and take care of themselves.

Along with a special awards and appreciation day, we introduced self-care stations for staff to pause and recharge throughout their day. From gratitude and journaling to muscle relaxation, face masks, coloring, and even a yoga space, these small moments of care matter.

We’re grateful for a team that shows up for others every day, and we’re just as committed to making sure they feel supported, too.
