This OCD Awareness Week, we’re exploring our understanding of OCD beyond the stereotypes, including thoughts from our OCD specialist, Sandra Coyner. From intrusive thoughts to mental compulsions, OCD can look very different from person to person.

Awareness is the first step toward understanding, support, and effective treatment. 💚

World Mental Health Day is a reminder that caring for our mental health is something we can do throughout our lives, not only when we reach a crisis point.

Checking in with yourself, recognizing when something feels off, talking with someone you trust, and asking for support when you need it are all meaningful ways to care for your mental well-being.

You don't have to wait until things become overwhelming to take your mental health seriously.

ADHD is often misunderstood as simply being distracted, disorganized, or unable to focus. In reality, it can affect executive functioning, time management, emotional regulation, motivation, relationships, and many other parts of everyday life.

For ADHD Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the importance of looking beyond the stereotypes. Struggling to start a task, losing track of time, procrastinating, or feeling overwhelmed does not mean someone is lazy or not trying.

Understanding ADHD with greater compassion can help replace judgment with support and make it easier for people to find strategies that work for them.

Mental health symptoms aren't always obvious. Sometimes they can look like stress, exhaustion, irritability, trouble sleeping, or simply feeling "off."

It can be easy to dismiss changes in ourselves or others, especially when someone is still managing work, relationships, family, and everyday responsibilities. But functioning doesn't always mean we're doing well.

Mental Illness Awareness Week is an opportunity to look beyond the stereotypes and pay attention to the less obvious signs that someone may be struggling. Noticing a change, asking questions, and reaching out for support can be an important first step.

You don't have to wait until things become overwhelming to take your mental health seriously.

We were honored to be part of Our Voices, Our Minds, a youth-led initiative hosted by ALMAS - Alliance of Latinos Motivating Action in the Suburbs in partnership with North Central College.

The event created an important space for dialogue, understanding, connection, and healing, while bringing together community organizations and resources focused on supporting young people and their mental health.

Our co-owner Wendy Hayum-Gross, along with therapists Megan Unsicker, Eduardo Castillo, and Rosa Plaza-Nigaglioni, were proud to represent Grow Wellness Group and connect with members of the community at our table.

We’re grateful for opportunities to be part of events that center the voices and experiences of young people and make mental health resources more accessible within our community. Thank you to ALMAS for creating such a meaningful and welcoming space.

Caregiving can be deeply meaningful, but it can also come with stress, guilt, exhaustion, and the feeling that your own needs have to come last.

In this clinician spotlight, Nikki Knepper shares her perspective on some of the mental health challenges caregivers face, what healthy self-care can look like, and what she wishes more people understood about the caregiving experience.

If you're a caregiver, remember that your well-being matters, too. Asking for support is not a sign that you aren't capable of caring for someone else. It is part of caring for yourself.

World Gratitude Day is a reminder that gratitude doesn't require us to ignore the difficult parts of life. We can acknowledge what hurts while still making space to notice the small moments that bring us comfort, connection, or joy.

On a difficult day, try asking yourself: What is one thing I can appreciate right now?

It doesn't have to change your whole day. Sometimes noticing one small good thing is enough to shift your perspective.
