What is Mental Health? 

Mental health is a critical component of overall well-being, encompassing our emotional, psychological, and social wellness. It affects how we think, feel, and act, as well as how we manage stress, connect with others, and make decisions. At Strength in Service, we believe mental health is just as important as physical health and advocate for access to care, education, and support for all individuals.

We are also committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone’s story is valued. No matter your background, culture, identity, or orientation, we honor and celebrate the diversity that strengthens our communities. Our mental health services are designed to meet the diverse needs of our community, creating a space where everyone can find personalized support and meaningful connection.

Interventions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Rewiring Negative Thought Patterns

CBT focuses on identifying and changing the negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. It gives you practical tools to challenge distorted thinking and replace it with more balanced perspectives, leading to profound emotional shifts.

Motivational Interviewing (MI): Finding Your Inner Drive for Change

MI is a collaborative approach that helps you find the internal motivation needed to make positive changes. It taps into your strengths and values, helping you create meaningful change on your own terms.

Flexible Grief Recovery Method: Healing from Life’s Deepest Heartbreaks

The Grief Recovery Method is an action-based, evidence-backed approach designed to help you heal from significant emotional losses. Through structured actions, you can find relief from the emotional weight of grief and begin to live fully again.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Reprocessing Trauma and Finding Relief

EMDR helps individuals process traumatic experiences and reduce their emotional impact. It allows your brain to reprocess traumatic memories, helping you move beyond the pain and integrate them into your broader life story.
