You cannot control what people will say to you. You can only control how you will respond. What are some boundaries that you're drawing for your Thanksgiving and Holiday Season?

Teens need trusted adults. It's important to create a space for your teens to feel like they can be heard without judgement.

Stress looks different for every young person, but talking with a trusted adult can make a real difference. Listening, validating, and problem-solving together helps kids and teens feel supported—and less overwhelmed.

There are things you can control with your relatives this Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is next week, and for many people, that means navigating family dynamics — or letting family know you’re opting out this year. Both choices are valid.

It can be helpful to focus on what you can control: how you set limits, how you respond when you feel stressed, how you communicate your boundaries, and how you take care of yourself.

And it’s equally important to remember what’s not in your control: how others react, whether they accept your choices, or the effort they put into the relationship.

If the holidays feel heavy, support is available 24/7 at 913-268-0156, or you can call or text 988.

Having hope isn't just poetic or something philosophical. It's physical. It activates the pre-frontal cortex which is the area of the brain associated with goal setting, decision-making, and problem-solving.

Have you ever told a childhood anecdote only to be met with looks of concern? Something you thought was normal or that all families did...until you realize they didn't?

Social media is designed to keep us engaged. What keeps people engaged? Things that make us feel strong emotions.

Do you ever feel like you're getting emotional whiplash from seeing something so awful on the internet and then three seconds later you're tearing up over a dog or a stranger? Then three seconds after that you're laughing?

It's by design.

How do you feel afterward? Do you feel like you rested? Like you took a break? Or do you feel drained? Exhausted? Maybe even a little sick? Angry?

It's because our brains aren't meant for the constant emotional manipulation that is social media.

And bots feed that. They make people engage more. They push the narratives that are the most extreme. Because the more emotion they can get from you the more likely you will engage. The more likely you'll stay on the app to engage. Which is why these bots have been used to push misinformation on purpose, to raise tensions in communities, and to keep people interacting with content.

According to the latest research about 51% of online interactions are bots.
