Happy Halloween from our Social Butterfly Family to yours. 🎃

As we head into Halloween, we want to wish everyone a night filled with connection, creativity & fun in whatever way that looks for you.

Halloween can be a joyful time for many, but it can also bring up difficult emotions for those navigating grief, loss, or major life changes. You’re not alone if this season feels a little heavier. It’s okay to step back, create your own traditions, or skip the celebrations altogether if that’s what you need.

A few gentle reminders to help keep this holiday safe and inclusive for all:
🧡 Be mindful — Costumes and decorations can impact others in ways we don’t always expect.
💜 Create inclusion — Consider how to make your celebrations sensory-friendly or accessible for children and adults with different needs.
💚 Stay grounded — If you’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed, take breaks, breathe deeply, and give yourself permission to rest.
🖤 Check in — A simple “How are you doing tonight?” can mean the world to someone struggling.

However you spend your evening whether you’re passing out candy, trick-or-treating, or enjoying a quiet night in, may it be filled with kindness, connection, and care.

👻 Take good care of yourselves and each other.

We are here for you.

✨ Sunday Reminder ✨
Sundays aren’t just the end of a week — they’re a quiet invitation to pause. To breathe. To check in with yourself.

Take today to slow down. Step away from the noise and find a few small moments of peace…a walk, a cup of coffee in silence, a deep breath before the next rush of life begins again.

Rest is not laziness. It’s maintenance. It’s how we keep our hearts soft and our minds clear for whatever comes next.

So give yourself permission to be still today.
You’ve earned a moment of peace. 🌿

We are here dor you.

Sometimes walking away isn’t pride — it’s self-respect.
If someone treats you like an option, let them. You don’t have to prove your worth to anyone who can’t see it.
Don’t give part-time people full-time places in your life. Protect your peace, know your value, and never settle for less than you deserve. ❤️

Some helpful tips if you or someone you know is feeling abandoned, hurt or a sense of loss in close relationships.

Relationships are hard work and communication needs to go both ways. Step one is taking control over what you have control over…. YOURSELF ❤️

How to Have Healthy Boundaries- Especially when you feel resentment and loss.

1. Give Yourself Permission to Feel Everything

It’s okay to feel devastated, angry, or abandoned right now. Those emotions are real and valid.
Try to notice your feelings without judging them — even intense ones will pass.
Remind yourself: My feelings are big, but they are not facts.

2. Know What Safety Looks Like for You

When the people you love are pulling away, it can make you want to chase or cling — but safety comes from stability, not intensity.
Ask: What helps me feel calmer and more grounded?
That might mean setting limits on texting late at night, or giving yourself space before reacting when you feel hurt.

3. Communicate with Kind Clarity

If you’re trying to reconnect or maintain friendships, keep it gentle and honest:

“I’m going through a really hard time and I want to stay connected, but I’m also working on giving space where it’s needed.”
This helps you show care while respecting both your needs and theirs.

4. Respect Distance Without Interpreting It as Rejection

When people step back, it usually says more about their capacity than your worth.
Use grounding strategies — deep breathing, journaling, a short walk, or holding ice — to soothe the panic of abandonment before reacting.

5. Build a “Crisis Plan” for the Hardest Moments

When emotions spike, have a plan ready:

Step away before responding.
Text a therapist, crisis line, or safe friend who can listen without judgment.
Write down what you wish you could say — but don’t send it right away.

6. Rebuild Trust in Yourself

Right now, you might feel like everyone is leaving — but you’re still here.
Keep small promises to yourself (eat, rest, shower, journal). Every time you do, you prove that you can rely on you.

Such a moral dilemma. The system of care is flawed and so challenging to navigate at times.

After a su***de attempt, doctors told the Benz-Bushlings their son needed residential mental health treatment. Their insurance said that level of care was “not medically necessary.”

Key facts:

•Globally, one in seven 10-19-year-olds experiences a mental disorder, accounting for 15% of the global burden of disease in this age group.

•Depression, anxiety and behavioural disorders are among the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents.

•Suicide is the third leading cause of death among those aged 15–29 years old.

•The consequences of failing to address adolescent mental health conditions extend to adulthood, impairing both physical and mental health and limiting opportunities to lead fulfilling lives as adults.

Adolescence (10-19 years) is a unique and formative time. Multiple physical, emotional and social changes, including exposure to poverty, abuse, or violence, can make adolescents vulnerable to mental health problems.
