Happy #Mother’sDay to all the women who mother, because mothering isn’t defined by blood, but by love. ❤️

Moving Waltz to the UN is reminiscent of the Catholic Church moving abusive priests to other churches.

We need help asking for help. I set out to understand our barriers to asking for help, and I share what I found in this week’s ThriveMind newsletter #mentalhealth thethrivemind.substack.com/p/we-need-he...

Anyone else worried our U.S. #mentalhealth system will take even more of a back seat? That people who need these supports the most will be ignored? I know I am.

Change is hard. We can avoid it and keep sweeping things under rugs. Or we can tackle things, one step at a time, while giving ourselves grace and patience. My next newsletter will address how learning to change can improve our mental health. substack.com/@thethrivemi...

My heart is full in this moment. My husband, who works for a lumber company where the “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality is pervasive, is sharing my Substack with his co-workers. #Mentalhealth among tradespeople is often stigmatized and ignored. 1/2

THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY x ANXIOUS PEOPLE in which a woman with terminal cancer experiences disturbing visions of four desperate people and dispatches an unsuspecting and anxious small town journalist on an epic journey to save them before her life clock runs out. #WIPpit #F #A #Con #writingcommunity

What am I doing when I’m not reading, writing, grading, talking to family, walking the dog, cooking, prepping for class, analyzing data, exercising, showering, paying bills, cleaning, or sleeping? Nothing. Hopefully. #academiclife

Brand spanking new here! Made X my ex a year ago and look forward to see what’s shaking at BS. I’m a professor of social work, a researcher (suicide prevention, mental health, equitable death care). I publish academically and in the last few years started #writing fiction which is hella more fun.
