Hi friend!! If you’re anything like me, you may

Hi friend!! If you’re anything like me, you may need a quick break RIGHT now!! This fall is just whizzing by, right? There is much happening in our changing world. We all have so much stress—especially for those lucky ones in the “sandwich generation” club—taking care of your kids & your parents. When it feels like there’s no time — THAT is the most important time to take care of yourself. Free your mind. Hit the pause button. Breath. Rewire your thoughts. If you want help doing that, we are offering a “Mindful Mondays” workshop. Starting NEXT WEEK, “Mindful Mondays” will meet each Monday in October at the Kenilworth office from 9:30-11am. Every week you’ll practice different mindfulness techniques (meditation, breathwork, writing and movement) to help cope with daily stressors and feel more balanced.Led by Joan O’Neill, LPC, a mindful guru who serves adults of all ages dealing with Trauma, Grief, Adoption, Illness, Disabilities, Anxiety, and Depression. This initial offering is limited to 6 participants. If you are interested in joining the workshop, please contact the Intake Team at hello@inspirecounselingenter.com or (847) 919-9096 x1If you don’t have time or can’t join the group — don’t worry, we have you covered!! You can read all about mindfulness in Joan’s blog post!! Thanks for stopping by!!!

FREE Parent Support Group ~ Monday, July 18 (12pm-

FREE Parent Support Group ~ Monday, July 18 (12pm-1pm) via Zoom. We have been very busy at Inspire working on several ways we can continue to hold your hand during the aftermath of this awful event. We've got something cool I'm excited about. We'll be able to share more about soon!!In the meantime, we have a Free Parent Support Group meeting THIS MONDAY, July 18 from 12-1pm held virtually by our Clinical Director, Claire Foss LCSW. As time goes on, healing will happen bit by bit. However, these types of incidents impact us all at different times. It is completely normal and okay to have reactions long after an event. Often times our reactions hit us out of nowhere and surprise even ourselves!! Grieving doesn't follow a check-list. It comes and goes, more like waves in the ocean. Particularly for the parents, this can be a heavy burden to carry. Claire has created a safe space for you to gain some insights, tools and connect with other hurting parents. You don't have to turn your camera on. You don't have to talk. You don't have to share.You don't have to be put together. Just come as you are. You are free to share, cry, laugh, and process as much or little as you want. We welcome ALL of you, just as you are. This is just a safe space for you to continue healing. Claire is not only our Lake Forest Clinical Director, but an amazing seasoned social worker with a heart of GOLD. She is a mom herself and can related as a person and a professional at a real level. She also happens to be hilarious and one of the most FUN people you will meet. I hope you take advantage of this opportunity to be with Claire if you would like some extra TLC. We are here to take care of YOU because you take care of everyone else.
