In our ongoing efforts to support the mental health of our patients, their families, and our community, we will continue sharing resources. At Riverscape Counseling, our role is not only to diagnose and treat. We are caretakers of our patients’ narratives, creating space to explore, process, and make meaning of what impacts their lives.

Healing requires understanding the systems that shape our lives. Research shows that immigration enforcement and policy can contribute to chronic stress, fear, and anxiety, not only for individuals directly impacted, but for families and entire communities . These effects can be profound, especially for vulnerable groups navigating uncertainty and loss.

As part of this work, we are sharing an ICE Manual to help individuals better understand their rights, access support, and feel more grounded in moments of confusion and unrest.

We wholeheartedly believe care extends beyond the four walls of our offices. Supporting mental health includes awareness, compassion, and advocacy for the communities we serve. 💛

Believe it or not, there is more to the story. Hair tells the story of identity, resilience, joy, and heritage. For many people of color, hair holds deep meaning and connection to culture and history.

This , Riverscape Counseling wants to honor how hair has been used to for self-expression, build community and connection, and hold memories across generations. From braids and twists to curls and locs, each style reflects a beautiful part of who we are.

Also, please give some love and attention to Sesame Street for providing the public with these beautiful illustrations. They continue to spread love, community, creativity, and knowledge.

We wanted to share the following article (link below) that highlights how the “angry minority” trope is often used to dismiss and gaslight people of color when they share examples of racism or injustice. Naming this pattern is important because it exposes how bias shifts attention away from harm and onto tone, silencing valid experiences. Bringing awareness to this dynamic helps foster more honest and equitable conversations.

In a previous post, we talked broadly about different forms of trauma. This month, we wanted to focus more intentionally on racial trauma, including what it is, how it develops, and how it can impact emotional and psychological well-being. This feels especially important to highlight during Black History Month.

What does trauma look like in kids and teens?

Trauma doesn’t always come from one catastrophic event. It can develop through loss, instability, neglect, chronic stress, or experiences that overwhelm a young person’s sense of safety.

We’re sharing this visual as a resource to help caregivers, parents, and families better recognize how trauma can show up, and to remind people that these responses are understandable and treatable. Having a definition for trauma and understanding its causes and symptoms can make future treatment decisions easier.
