Black & white thinking is a type of cognitive distortion where we either see it on one end of the spectrum or the other. This type of thinking, however, prevents us from seeing the full spectrum of colors. You see life is not black and white, it’s full of color. There is always another perspective. Take some time to see the full range of colors life is offering you. #mentalhealth #psychosocial #rainbows #mentalhealthawareness #endthestigma #supportmentalhealth #motivation #inspiration #black&whitethinking

Have you thought about using a mental health app, but there’s way too many out there? Well a few months ago we announced a new and exciting partnership with @psyberguide , a cool non-profit that’s helping bridge the gap by providing professional reviews of mental health apps!
Mental health apps are still a new thing and not all of them are monitored or good. Having a resource like @psyberguide makes all the difference.

This means you get an in depth review of some of the most popular apps, but also reviews of newer/unknown apps. This makes finding a mental health app much easier and secure. Check out the link in our bio for more information! Please share this awesome resource! #mentalhealth #mentalhealthapps #technology #psyberguide #psychosocial #partnerships #movement #reviews #resources

Celebrating 10 years of love and adventures. Social media is not an accurate depiction of all the emotions, hard times, good times, and growth we’ve gone through, but my love for you is so grand I have to share it. We will never finish working on ourselves or on our relationship because we’re human and we are in constant change, but these last 10 years have been a rollercoaster I’m not ready to get off of. Wishing everyone out there partnered or self-partnered light, love, and hope! #love #couples #gaycouples #10years #lgbtq #growth #adventures #motivation #workinprogess

This week’s positive affirmation comes from our Outreach & Engagement Manager, Julia Stanislav! In her affirmation Julia tackles something that many of us struggle with on a daily basis, “perfectionism.” The idea that perfection is attainable not only causes distress, but can lead tp a variety of cognitive distortions. These distortions can continuously plague us and keep us from practicing self-love and validation.
This is a powerful affirmation that reminds us to value and appreciate the work we do. Give ourselves credit and remember we are badasses!

PsychoSocial is happy to introduce our rebranded MeetUp, Reclaiming Wellness: A MeetUp for Mental Health Professionals of Color. This is an inclusive group and all mental health professionals who identify as a person of color either BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color) and LGBTQ+ are welcomed to join the group. Mental health professionals include: psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, Associates, students in a mental health masters program, and case managers! Our focus will be to continue organizing MeetUps for mental health professionals to come together to engage in indoor/outdoor social events, networking, personal and professional development (by providing opportunities for you to share your knowledge and facilitate workshops, trainings, speaking engagements). Our intention is to build community, learn from one another and have fun in the process.
Disclosure: This is a confidential group specifically for people of color. We will ask you to sign a disclosure form upon attending your first meetup. For purposes of diversity and inclusivity, we may at times, have BIPOC and LGBTQ+ allies who may join the meetups for community building purposes and/or for workshop and training facilitation. #PsychoSocial #MentalHealthAwareness #SupportMentalHealth #movement #inspiration #MentalHealthProfessionals #POC #SanFrancisco #BayArea #MeetUps #EndTheStigma #support
