Ice cream break! 🍦

Our team took a little time out of their week to enjoy some ice cream and spend time together. Because sometimes a good afternoon pick-me-up is as simple as a scoop (or two). 🫶

We're grateful for the people who make up The Family Counseling Center team and for the care and compassion they bring to their work every day. It was nice to take a moment to celebrate them for a change. 🩵

MYTH: Asking someone if they're thinking about su***de will put the idea in their head.

FACT: Asking directly does not cause suicidal thoughts. It can actually open the door to an honest conversation and help someone feel seen, heard, and supported.

🩵 If you're worried about someone, you don't have to wait for them to bring it up. You can start simply:

"I've noticed you haven't seemed like yourself lately. How are you really doing?"

And if you're concerned they may be thinking about su***de, it's okay to ask directly.

You don't need the perfect words. You don't need to have all the answers. You just need to be willing to ask, listen, and stay connected.

Sometimes, the hardest conversation to start is the one that matters most. 💜

🫶 If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. Call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, or call The Family Counseling Center's 24/7 Crisis Line at 518.725.4310 ext. 999.

No organization serves a community alone. 🩵

For 50 years, The Family Counseling Center has been fortunate to work alongside a community that understands something important: when we care for one another, we all become stronger.

That work has been made possible by so many people and organizations across our community - including our local hospitals and healthcare providers, schools and educators, law enforcement, other local agencies and community organizations, our board members, our dedicated staff, volunteers, advocates, and the many people who have supported The Family Counseling Center along the way.

Each plays a different role. Together, they create a network of support that helps individuals and families find care, navigate challenges, connect with resources, and know that they are not alone.

Sometimes partnership means working together to help someone in crisis. Sometimes it means connecting a family with the right resource, supporting a child at school, coordinating care, sharing expertise, or simply recognizing that someone needs help.

And sometimes, it means believing in the mission enough to give your time, your voice, or your financial support.

For 50 years, The Family Counseling Center has been part of this community - and this community has been part of The Family Counseling Center.

As we celebrate this milestone, we’re grateful to our partners who have helped make five decades of care possible.

We are stronger together. And together, we can continue caring for our community for the next 50 years. 💜

September is National Su***de Prevention Month. 💜

And while one month can't capture the weight of this issue - or the importance of the work being done every day - it gives us an opportunity to pause, pay attention, and remind one another of something incredibly important:

Connection can save lives. And sometimes, the person who is struggling doesn't always look like they're struggling.

They may be the coworker who always shows up.
The friend who keeps saying, "I'm fine."
The parent who is taking care of everyone else.
The teenager who suddenly pulls away.
The neighbor you haven't seen in awhile.

This month, we encourage our community to learn the warning signs, start the conversation, and make sure the people around us know that asking for help is not a burden - it is a sign of strength.

💜 Know the signs.
💜 Don't be afraid to ask.
💜 Know where to turn.

And remember, you don't have to wait for a crisis to reach out. If you're overwhelmed, hurting, or worried about someone you love, reaching out for support WILL make a difference.

This month, let's practice checking in. Let's listen. Let's speak openly about our mental health. And let's make sure the people in our community know: You are not alone. Help is always available.

Parenting comes with incredible rewards, but it can also bring stress, uncertainty, exhaustion, and moments when you simply don't know what to do next. Needing support doesn't mean you're not a good parent - it means you're human.

For 50 years, The Family Counseling Center has been there for parents and families as they navigate the many seasons of family life. We've seen that supporting a parent's mental health can have a meaningful impact on the entire family.

Asking for help can provide a parent with a place to process difficult emotions, strengthen relationships and better understand the challenges their family is facing. Sometimes, support is about addressing a specific concern. Other times, it's simply having someone to talk to when the weight of everything feels like too much.

There is no perfect parent. There is no handbook for every situation. And no one is meant to do it all alone.

For five decades, The Family Counseling Center has been honored to walk alongside parents and families - and we're proud to continue that work for the next generation. 🩵

When The Family Counseling Center first opened its doors in 1976, the needs of individuals and families looked different than they do today. Over the decades, our community has changed, and so has the way we provide care - expanding services, adapting to new challenges, and finding ways to make support more accessible.

But growth has never simply been about becoming bigger. It has been about listening to our community and responding to what people need.

That means recognizing emerging mental health challenges, embracing new approaches to care, expanding access, and continuing to build the resources and services that help individuals and families thrive.

And that work cannot happen alone. A strong community is essential to a strong mental health system. The support of our community - through partnerships, advocacy, and financial support - helps The Family Counseling Center continue evolving to meet the needs of the people we serve.

As we celebrate 50 years, we’re grateful for how far we’ve come and mindful of the work still ahead. The needs may change. The world may change. But our commitment to caring for our community remains.

Here’s to continuing to grow, adapt, and care for the next 50 years. 🩵

08/26/2026

For 50 years, The Family Counseling Center has supported children and families through the many challenges that can come with growing up. One thing we've learned along the way is that children may not always have the words to tell us when something is wrong.

Instead, mental health concerns may show up as changes in behavior, sleep, appetite, mood, school performance, friendships, or the way a child interacts with the people around them.

Childhood is full of big feelings, changes, and challenges. But when concerns persist or begin to interfere with a child's daily life, it's worth paying attention - and seeking support when needed.

Supporting children's mental health starts with listening, taking their experiences seriously, and creating a safe place for them to be heard.

For five decades, The Family Counseling Center has been here to support children and the families who care for them. 🩵

Sometimes the most important thing you can do is let someone know they're not alone.

If a friend, family member, coworker, or neighbor seems to be struggling, reach out. You don't need to have the perfect words - just being there can make a meaningful difference. 🫶

And if you're struggling, please remember: you don't have to face it by yourself. There are people who care, who will listen, and who want to help.
