We had such a great time at Communities for People's 50th anniversary gala last week! As an independent 501(c)(3) organization, Doc Wayne operates as an affiliate agency within the Communities for People (CFP) network. Over the past 15 years, Doc Wayne and CFP have worked collaboratively as a team—sharing administrative infrastructure and back-office efficiency—while honoring our distinct service missions.

The evening was '70s-themed, a nod to the era in which CFP was founded. Showing the depth of CFP's impact, the event's speaker was was a child who grew up in foster care with CFP (in the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) system) who is now the Rhode Island DCYF Chief of Staff. We are so proud of CFP and their accomplishments over the last 50 years, and we're forever grateful for their continued collaboration and lasting impact on Doc Wayne's services!

Summer may be over, but the beginning of Fall means the start of a new school year, our favorite time here at Doc Wayne! Of course, for all of the excitement, a new year also brings its share of chaos, stress, and challenges. As you enter the semester, we encourage you to take time for yourself to build good habits and practice self-care.

Remember: you're not in this alone! As you're pacing yourself, finding a routine, and practicing self care, you can lean on people you trust like coaches, teachers, parents, friends, and classmates.

I’m especially grateful to all of the Doc Wayne kids who, over the years, have shaped and refined my own understanding of mental health and what young people need from us.

Every fall, Doc Wayne brings a new cohort of graduate clinical students on board through our longstanding internship practicum program, providing invaluable experience and training to the next generation of clinicians through The Community Clinic and our Chalk Talk® Group Therapy program.

Back to school means back to programming here at Doc Wayne, and we're so excited to welcome these incredible new folks to the team!

So much of what we do at Doc Wayne involves movement, activity, and social connection to improve mental health, and a number of recent studies suggest that even just watching sports can have a positive impact on well-being. Whether in a stadium, with a group of friends, or alone at home, watching live sports builds a sense of community, connection, and togetherness that directly increases mental well-being.

Here in Boston, we experienced this first-hand when the World Cup came to our city as countless fans from countries across the globe converged to cheer on their teams. Despite differences in culture, language, and the teams we root for, the event brought out the best in all of us. So even if you can't get on the field yourself this summer, be sure to cheer for your favorite teams—you'll be better for it!
