June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month — a reminder that mental health conversations belong to everyone! 💙

Too often, men are taught to stay silent, push through, or carry struggles alone. But asking for help is not weakness, and support should never feel out of reach.

Creating space for honest conversations, connection, and early support can make a real difference!

Whether it’s checking in on a friend, opening up about your own mental health, or encouraging someone to seek care, those conversations matter.

Because mental wellness is for everyone — and no one should have to navigate challenges alone.

Happy Pride Month, NOLA! 🌈💙

Pride is a celebration of identity, community, visibility, and belonging — and it’s also a reminder that everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and safe.

At CALM, we believe mental health conversations must include and affirm LGBTQ+ communities, because support should be accessible, compassionate, and free from stigma.

This month and every month, let’s continue creating spaces where people can show up fully as themselves, connect with care, and know they are not alone!

We’re proud to stand with our New Orleans community. 🏳️‍🌈

Recovery is possible — and it’s also a process! 💙

On this episode of Reality Check, Dr. Michael Garrett shares an important perspective: believing in someone’s potential is a critical part of care. Setting ambitious goals isn’t unrealistic — it’s a reflection of hope, possibility, and trust in what someone’s future can look like.

At the same time, recovery isn’t a straight line. Progress can take time, and life’s challenges can impact stability along the way. That’s why ongoing support and connection to care matter!

Because recovery isn’t just about getting better, it’s about staying supported through every stage of the journey.

🎧 Listen to the full episode to hear more about what long-term care and recovery can really look like (link in bio).

There are still too many myths surrounding psychosis, and those misunderstandings can create fear, stigma, and delays in getting help!

The truth?
Psychosis is treatable.
Recovery is possible.
And early support can change everything.

Breaking stigma starts with education — understanding what psychosis is, what it isn’t, and how we can better support individuals and families navigating it.

Swipe through 5 common myths about psychosis (& the truth you need to know)!

Because the more we understand, the easier it becomes for people to reach out, ask questions, and get the care they deserve.

Mental health doesn’t exist in isolation — it’s shaped by the people and environments around us!

Community can mean having someone who listen, a place where you feel safe speaking up, or simply knowing you’re not alone in what you’re going through.

Strong communities help reduce stigma, encourage conversations, and make it easier for people to find support when they need it!

We want to hear from you — What role do you think community plays in mental health? 💙

Every word matters. Every story matters. Every person matters. 💙

On this episode of Reality Check, Dr. Michael Garrett shares what decades of working with individuals experiencing psychosis has taught him — that care starts with truly listening!

Not seeing someone as a diagnosis.
But as a person.

A person with experiences, meaning, and a story worth understanding.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that connection, empathy, and language all play a critical role in how we support people navigating psychosis.
