This Pride Month, TCA celebrates the LGBTQ+ community — a community that has faced, and continues to face, real barriers to safety, belonging, and full recognition. We see you, we stand with you, and we are proud to.

Counselors, students, educators, and advocates show up every day in that gap — building environments where every person is affirmed, respected, and empowered to be fully themselves. That work matters deeply, and so do the people doing it

Our profession is at its most powerful when it reflects the wholeness of the communities we serve. TCA remains committed to advancing inclusion, promoting equity, and ensuring that no one has to fight alone to be seen, heard, and valued.

Happy Pride Month!

May 7 is Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day!

Every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported.

Today is a reminder that mental health starts early. With the right support, children can build confidence, cope with challenges, and grow into healthy, thriving individuals. Professional counselors are a key part of that support system, showing up in schools and communities every day.

Take a moment to check in, start a conversation, or share a resource. Small actions can make a lasting impact.

Because when we invest in children’s mental health, we invest in what comes next.
