✨Launch Lunch✨

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Liz and Sara from Thrive Psychiatric Care, whom we were meeting for the first time. It was such a wonderful opportunity to connect, exchange perspectives, and strengthen relationships within our professional community.

We were also so happy to see Tracy Glazier, PsyD a local psychologist we’ve known and valued, who joined us so we could meet her beautiful new baby. 💛

Moments like these remind us that our work is deeply relational, not just with clients, but with colleagues and community as well.

Grateful for collaboration, connection, and a growing network of professionals who care deeply about the work we do !

We loved connecting with the Killam Elementary School PTO in Reading! 💚

Our very own Dr Ilana Blatt-Eisengart had the opportunity to speak with parents (in person and on Zoom!) about preventing and managing challenging behaviors in children, sharing practical strategies and lots of reassurance along the way.

Huge thanks to the amazing parents who showed up, asked thoughtful questions, and were so open about the real-life challenges of parenting. These conversations matter, and we’re always grateful to be part of such supportive school communities.

Interested in hosting a conversation like this for your group? Our team is always available for parent education and community-based presentations. Don't hesitate to reach out !

✨ Launch Lunch ✨

Yesterday, our team came together for our monthly Launch Lunch and this month, we had the pleasure of welcoming Danielle Lavallee, founder and owner of Lavallee Wellness, LLC with whom we had the chance to discuss on how our disciplines collide and intersect.

The conversation sparked reflection, curiosity, and meaningful dialogue about collaboration, perspective, and the value of learning from one another across fields. We’re grateful for the opportunity to pause, connect as professional and be inspired by voices that challenge and expand our thinking.

Thank you, Danielle, for sharing your insights and thank you to our team for making these moments of connection so special. 💬🍽️

Today is World Kindness Day 💫

A small act of kindness can have a powerful ripple effect — for others and for yourself.
➡️Studies show that practicing kindness releases serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine, reducing stress and boosting overall well-being.

So on this World Kindness Day, take a moment to:
💬 Reach out to someone who might need encouragement.
💚 Notice and appreciate acts of kindness around you.
💭 Speak kindly to yourself.

At Launch, we believe kindness, toward others and ourselves, is an essential part of mental well-being.
Let’s make today (and every day) a little gentler. 🌿

✨ How will you show kindness today?
