Every child deserves to go to school feeling good about themselves! Boxes of Basics helps with that, one box at a time.

We were inspired to go spend a few hours sorting clothes and packing boxes at the new Re*****on location. Let us tell you... not only was it fun but it was incredibly meaningful.

We had the opportunity to choose outfits for a child in need and pack each box with love, care, and the hope that it helps that child feel supported, confident, and cared for.

Then it was on to lunch at Craft & Crust! Delicious! Try the fried pickles!

What We Do Wednesday: Mental Health Collaborative

When we think of the collaborative, we think BIG PICTURE! This quarterly meeting brings together community leaders and partner organizations to identify needs, strengthen coordination, and work towards a shared goal of improving mental wellness and access to care for all those in our community.

With crucial members of our community at the table, we can discuss how to best fill the gaps and meet the needs that exist now and those that are on the horizon.

We are so thankful to work alongside so many passionate individuals with common goals.

Interested in being added to the collaborative distribution list? Email [email protected].

Mental Health Monday: A Fuller Life Doesn't Always Mean a Fuller Calendar

When the air is cooler and the days are shorter, we are reminded that letting go is part of the process of this season. We spend so much time trying to keep up with expectations of others, obligations, and what other people need that we forget ourselves.

What if this season you made room instead of adding to your plate?

Room for a conversation with someone you want to get to know deeper
Room for a walk in nature without checking your phone for notifications
Room for people who support you, not judge you
Room to say "I can't take that on right now"

What would you like to make more room for this fall?

It can be scary and intimidating to seek help and accept a diagnosis. But this isn't a life sentence or a permanent label of who you are.

A diagnosis is a tool and a guide for clinicians to help understand your symptoms and guide treatment.

Some conditions are chronic and require ongoing maintenance and support and many people, with professional help, live full lives or achieve full recovery. Either way, this doesn't define you and shouldn't limit you.

What We Do Wednesday: Rappahannock Roundtable

Chaired by Sallie Morgan, the Rappahannock Behavioral Health Roundtable has been meeting monthly for many years, bringing together organizations that serve Rappahannock to identify gaps and unmet needs, strengthen collaboration, and share resources and information.

Mental health and substance use concerns don't stop at county lines. The goal of this group is to create a stronger, more connected network of care so the people of Rappahannock have somewhere to go for help.

Want to join in? Email Thayer Cumings at [email protected].

Mental Health Monday: Grow Doesn't Always Look Like Growth

Some parts of our lives flourish and some fade. Some need a season of rest before they bloom again. And that's ok.

You don't have to be constantly improving, achieving, or changing. Sometimes there is value in the quiet seasons too. Maybe you're still figuring out where you want to be. Maybe this is taking more time than you wanted it to.

Give yourself some grace this week. What can you celebrate? Is it one short mindful moment per day to notice the beauty around you? Is it getting through each day with a positive mindset?

It's easy to look at someone else's life and think, They have it harder than I do. What do I have to complain about? Or to convince yourself that your struggles aren't significant enough to deserve support.

But comparing your struggles to someone else's only minimizes your own unique journey toward mental wellness.

Pain is not a contest. You don't have to prove that you're struggling enough to deserve help.

At our core, we all share a common thread: the desire to be seen, to be heard, to feel connected, and to live a fulfilling life.
