Juneteenth honors the day enslaved people in Texas were made aware of the Emancipation Proclamation and officially released from their bonds. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, but it was not until June 19, 1865, that the last of the enslaved people in the Confederacy were informed of their freedom. While historically celebrated as the day the final orders were read to enslaved Texans, it was not the absolute end of slavery. The institution was not completely eradicated legally until the ratification of the 13th Amendment on December 6, 1865, which formally outlawed it across the entire country. Part of the 13th Amendment notes: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

What some NC Psychologists are reading this month: Enormous Wings by Laurie Frankel. Enormous Wings is an urgent novel about female agency and bodily autonomy, morality and mortality. It's about what happens when you don't get to choose. It's about motherhood and family, s*x and love and friendship, and how those bedrocks—even so late in the day—can still change, and then change everything. Discussion will be Sunday, July 12 from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm. Zoom link in NCPA member emails. Laurie Frankel, Author

Constant comparisons hurt and are particularly unhelpful when used as a way of berating oneself. We may sometimes need to work on behavioral changes or skill development, but this all begins most effectively if from a foundation of embracing our true selves. Oscar Wilde

During Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, the Colleague Assistance Committee encourages men of all ages to prioritize self-care. Seeking support when needed is a sign of strength, resilience, and self-awareness. Self-care is an investment in your well-being and ability to navigate life's challenges. Whether it's making time for exercise, connecting with friends, getting adequate rest, or practicing mindfulness, small steps can make a meaningful difference.

The next FREE and VIRTUAL "Ask the Psychologist" lecture with Dr. Mira Brancu is entitled: What to Say When You Don't Have All the Answers: Communicating During Times of Uncertainty. Dr. Brancu's workshop explores the psychology behind effective communication during uncertainty: why what we say (and don't say) matters so much, what common communication mistakes actually increase anxiety, and how to show up in ways that build trust even without having all the answers. You'll leave with a concrete framework you can use immediately, whether you're leading a team, navigating a difficult conversation, leading or parenting, or simply trying to stay steady during an unsteady time.
