May has been full — full of conversations, awareness campaigns, advocacy moments, and community. As Mental Health Awareness Month wraps up, we're reflecting on what it means to be part of a profession that shows up every single day.

To our OCA members: you are the reason this work matters. Whether you've been in practice for 30 years or you're just getting started, the counseling profession is stronger because you're in it. 💚

From all of us at OCA — thank you. Let's keep going.

❤️ Today is a day to honor our service members made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and to also support the family members of those we have lost as well. Please take a minute to pause what you're doing, stop the scroll, and acknowledge the freedoms we still have because of those brave individuals. We thank you, and proudly remember you. 🇺🇸

🖼️ Happy International Museum Day! 🎨

Each year since 1977, the International Council Of Museums has organized International Museum Day, which represents a unique moment for the international museum community. This day reminds us of the importance of museums as:

🥕 a means of cultural exchange
🛰️ enrichment of cultures
🦖 development of mutual understanding
🖌️ cooperation among people

What local museums help you reflect on cultural exchange and humility? One of our favorites is the National Museum of Psychology located in Akron, Ohio!
