June is PTSD Awareness Month. 💙
PTSD can affect anyone, including veterans, service members, military families, children, and survivors of trauma. Healing is not one-size-fits-all, and no one should have to navigate it alone. At The Up Center, our trauma-informed mental health services and the Cohen Clinic at The Up Center are here to support individuals and families on their path toward healing.

This Pride Month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community. Everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, seen, and valued for who they are.

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to remind you that you don’t need a crisis to benefit from talking to someone. Therapy can help with stress, relationships, life transitions, and so much more.

If you’ve been thinking about it, this could be your sign to start. The Up Center’s mental health services offer compassionate, trauma-informed care for children, adults, and families. Visit https://vist.ly/563sh to get started. 💙

What if a play could make you laugh, reflect, and spark an important conversation about mental health?

"Every Brilliant Thing" The Tour is making a stop at Norfolk Botanical Garden in partnership with The Up Center! Supported by Virginia Stage Company and sponsored by Rotary Club of Norfolk VA, this engaging one-person production blends comedy, improv, and audience interaction to tell the story of learning to cope with a parent’s suicidal depression.

More than one in five adults in America experience mental illness. At The Up Center, we believe every person deserves to be seen, heard, and cared for through access to mental health and recovery support.

Join us Tuesday, June 23 | 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM at Norfolk Botanical Garden

We hope to see you there.

Supporting someone’s mental health can be simple—and it matters more than you think 💙

Check in. Listen without judgment. Be patient. Remind them they’re not alone. Sometimes just showing up is enough.

If someone in your life needs more support, help connect them to care. The Up Center’s mental health services offer compassionate, trauma-informed counseling for children, adults, and families.
