"Start with learning commit to a daily or weekly learning session, using any of the outstanding and abundant multimedia resources to meet you where you are in your progress toward becoming anti-racist. Whether it’s 15 minutes each morning or an hour on Sundays, hold yourself accountable to spending this time and journaling about what you’re learning so that it actually sticks." Remember - your POC coworker/friend/relative does not owe you an education on this. Google new te...rms that you don't understand; follow POC on Instagram and other social media outlets; follow podcasts about anti-racism. Question your own motives and biases and make yourself uncomfortable. We have a lot of work to do. #NotJustAMonth #BlackHistoryMonth #antiracism

Happy Recovery Month! National Recovery Month is a national observance held every September to educate Americans that substance use treatment and mental health services can enable those with mental and substance use disorders to live healthy and rewarding lives. - Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration One important thing to remember about recovery is that it’s an ongoing process; this includes both substance use and mental health. We will not fix you (p...ro tip: you’re not broken). We will help you learn ways to cope with the things that send you spiraling, aka triggers. These skills can benefit you for a lifetime, but do require some level of maintenance. #mentalhealthmatters #RecoveryMonth #RecoveryIsReal #onlinecounseling
