July is Minority Mental Health Month

Finding mental health support can feel even harder when you’re looking for someone who understands your background, identity, culture, language, or lived experience. But those things matter, and it’s okay to look for a therapist who feels like the right fit.

This carousel shares a few tips inspired by guidance from The Jed Foundation on finding a therapist who understands your background.

A few reminders:
✨ It’s okay to have preferences
✨ It’s okay to ask questions
✨ It’s okay to talk with more than one therapist
✨ It’s okay to switch if the fit doesn’t feel supportive

Save this for later or share it with someone who may need it.

Happy 4th of July from NAMI Orange County!

As we celebrate today, we’re also thinking of our community members who may find the holiday overwhelming. Loud fireworks, big gatherings, and changes in routine can be a lot. A gentle reminder: it’s okay to take breaks, set boundaries, use headphones, step away, or create a plan that helps you feel safe and supported.

Wishing you a safe and peaceful holiday. ❤️🤍💙
