Hello Friends,
Please don't give up hope. These are hard times, but I still believe in the power of our love.
It's been a rough few months. In addition to our personal issues in our own lives, Covid-19 had resulted in many deaths and debilitating illness which has kept us confined or restricted to our homes for safety. So many Americans are unemployed. And social justice and racism issues are highlighted as people are fighting for their right to be treated equally. All of this is happening just as we would normally be celebrating the graduation of our high school and college seniors and easing into summer.
Like so many, I am heartbroken about all of the trauma, pain and grief that I see in my own life, in our community, in our state and in our country. We are truly in this together, and it is overwhelming to process.
And, if you have been participating in marches and demonstrations this week in support of Black Lives Matter and Racial Justice and need help processing your feelings and your experience, Valarie and I will be hosting a
free Zoom
Support Group
meeting on Saturday, June 6th at 12:00 pm, EST. If you'd like to participate in the meeting, send an email to
office@staceybrowncounseling.com
and we will send you the link to the meeting.
In the meantime, please stay safe. Stay informed, but limit your screen time so you can maintain balance within yourself. Stay true to your inner wisdom regarding how you need to help yourself through these difficult times. If it is time to grow and change, then let it be. Reach out to help others if you are able.
Please know that support is available. Valarie, Heidi and I are available for counseling through telehealth services. You may book an appointment on our website calendar
HERE
.
If you have ideas of how we can better support you, please let us know.Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance.
With warmest hugs and sincerest hopes for safety, protection, love and light,
Stacey Brown
