March is Transgender Day of Visibility

Hello SGVPA Folx, This month I will be focusing on International Women's Day for our diversity resource guide. I want to make a "Shout Out" to all the women who are out there day in and day out in our world advocating for all women, children, families, and humanity. International Women's Day is observed on March 8, 2025. We are living in such times where women are making a stand to be in all areas of government, advocacy, health care, mental health support, protecting our world in every capacity, and joining together to be part of many solutions. I salute you all for what you do for our world, community, and homes. Please partake in accessing these resources for those in need or pass to colleagues who are looking for more resources.

Hello SGVPA Folx, It's that time of the year again!! National Mental Health Awareness Month. Dust off those green ribbons and represent! This is the time of the year for all of us to renew our toolkits, spreading awareness to help break the stigma, and overall advocacy for the mental health needs of our community. I get pumped for all the fairs, the awareness walks, and collaboration with fellow mental health practitioners. Taking it out to the community in person or virtually this month is a salute to those in the mental health helping field, all those who have survived mental health distress, and for those who are still struggling with the impact of mental health distress.
