🍂 As the Seasons Change, So Can Our Mental Health 🍁
At Firefly Counseling, we understand that the transition into fall can bring more than just cooler weather and colorful leaves—it can also stir up feelings of sadness, anxiety, or fatigue.

Seasonal changes can impact our mood, sleep, and energy levels. If you're noticing a shift in how you feel, you're not alone—and it's okay to seek support.

🌟 Just like fireflies light up the night, we're here to help you find light in the darker seasons. Whether you’re facing seasonal depression (SAD), life transitions, or just feeling a little off, our team is here to walk alongside you.

🕯️ Take time to care for your mental health this fall. Book an appointment, check in with yourself, and know that reaching out is a sign of strength.

📚💛 Back-to-School Reminder: Kindness Matters 💛📚
As backpacks get packed and school doors swing open, let’s not forget to send our kids off with something even more important than supplies—kindness.

This school year, remind your child that every classroom has students who are nervous, new, or just needing a friend. A smile, a kind word, or a seat at the lunch table can change someone’s whole day.

Kindness is teachable, powerful, and contagious.
Let’s raise kids who include others. Who speak up for kindness. Who lead with empathy.

🎒 Back-to-School Stress? Here Are 5 Ways to Help Ease the Transition 🧠

The start of a new school year can bring excitement and stress — for kids, teens, and parents alike. At Firefly Counseling, we want to share a few simple tips to help make this transition a little smoother:

1️⃣ Start Routines Early
Begin adjusting sleep and wake times at least two weeks before school starts. Predictable routines can lower anxiety and boost focus. A big part of this is starting to limit electronics and screen time to mimic a school day that will require focus.

2️⃣ Talk About It
Let your child express their worries. Normalize their feelings and offer reassurance — listening goes a long way.

3️⃣ Prepare Together
Involve your child in back-to-school prep like organizing supplies, choosing outfits, or visiting the school. It builds confidence and reduces uncertainty.

4️⃣ Limit Overscheduling
Keep after-school activities manageable. Kids need downtime too, especially in the first few weeks.

5️⃣ Model Calm
Kids pick up on your stress. Take care of your own mental health and show them healthy ways to manage big emotions.

🧠 Back-to-school stress is normal, but if it starts to interfere with sleep, appetite, or daily functioning, it might be time to talk to a mental health professional.

💬 Our team at Firefly Counseling is here to support children, teens, and families through life’s transitions.
