back to June 2024 newsletter
Welcome to the June newsletter! June is a month of celebrations – graduations, the end-of-school year, weddings, Father’s Day and many more. We hope that also celebrate Pride Month and Juneteenth.
In June, we also celebrate Pride Month and Juneteenth! In this month’s newsletter, we have written an extra article to ensure that we honor both important holidays. They both celebrate members of our society who have experienced a long history of inequality. For your reading pleasure and education, we have interesting articles about the LGBTQIA+ community and Pride month. I also want to acknowledge that June is Alzheimer’s Awareness month and Men’s Mental Health Awareness month. In addition World Refugee Day was on June 20th. Plus, World Refugee Day was on June 20th.
As we work towards inclusivity, we have been updating the website. You should have received an email that describes the steps we’ve taken in the profiles so that we can better understand who our members are in order to better serve you. We also changed the cultural focus area so that it could become a searchable field. This will allow potential to search for therapists who share a similar cultural background or area of focus. The Board’s desire is for everyone to feel a part of our chapter and to help future clients find a therapist (you) who they feel comfortable with. Thanks to Vidur Malik, Kusum Punjabi, and Nancy Orr for their help in making this happen.
Along with the idea of inclusivity, our poetess, Edna Wallace, wrote a poem about retirement that might resonate with both younger and older adults.
As we enter the summer months, we wish you the best. We hope you and your family and friends stay safe and enjoy time together. Please don’t forget to join your colleagues at events, coffee talk, and the cinema therapy club. You can also find us on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook. We look forward to seeing you in person or online.
