Mental Wellness with MorningstarÂ
In the April issue, we shared our purpose and the population we are committed to serving well. We are passionate about dismantling the negative stigmatism attached to mental health in black and brown communities. We desire to cultivate beautiful spaces where men, women, and children can expand, take up space, and realize there is power in realizing that you do not have to heal alone. At Morningstar, the sacredness of vulnerability is protected. How can we guarantee every individual has this experience?Â
At Morningstar, we are more than just a team. We are a community of professionals, from therapists to administrators, who are deeply committed to your well-being. We believe that true healing happens within a community, and we are here to offer that to anyone who has suffered in silence. You are not alone in your journey.Â
Our services are person-centered and can occur within our Wellness Center, in your home, at a park, or any place within the community. The goal is for individuals to be in a safe and comfortable environment. We have therapists and therapeutic mentors who specialize in the following:Â
Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Behavior: frustration tolerance and emotional regulation-This service is designed to help individuals develop skills to manage their emotions and cope with frustration in a healthy and productive way. Our therapists use evidence-based techniques to guide individuals in understanding their emotions, identifying triggers, and implementing effective coping strategies.Â
