💜 Silence allows abuse to continue. Speaking up can make a difference.

Domestic violence is about power and control, and men can be victims too. Real strength means holding each other accountable, listening without judgment, and supporting anyone experiencing abuse. Every survivor deserves safety, dignity, and compassion.

Don’t look away. Speak up. Stand with survivors.

🎀 OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH 🎀At Purposes Healing LLC, we believe healing is more than a journey—it is discovering strength, hope, purpose, and community even during life’s most difficult seasons.
This month, we stand in love and solidarity with every person and family whose life has been touched by breast cancer. 💗
🌸 We CELEBRATE the survivors.
🌸 We SUPPORT those currently fighting.
🌸 We HONOR & REMEMBER those we have lost.
🌸 We UPLIFT the families, caregivers, and loved ones who stand beside them every day.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is more than wearing pink. It is a reminder to educate ourselves, encourage early detection, support those navigating treatment, and continue creating communities where no one has to face their journey alone.
At Purposes Healing LLC, we want every survivor, fighter, caregiver, and family member to remember:
💗 There is purpose in your story.
💗 There is strength in your journey.
💗 There is power in community.
💗 There is HOPE in healing.
Throughout October, let’s spread awareness, show compassion, celebrate strength, and remind one another that together, we are stronger. 🎀💕
Who are you wearing PINK for this October? Drop their name or a 🎀 in the comments so we can honor them together.

💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Domestic violence takes many forms—physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, financial, and digital abuse. Threats, intimidation, isolation, and controlling behaviors can cause deep harm, even when there are no visible injuries.

The impact reaches beyond the person experiencing abuse. Children who see or hear abuse can also experience fear, emotional distress, and a loss of safety. Both survivors and children deserve compassion, protection, and support.

Whether the abuse happened recently or years ago, your experiences matter, and your healing deserves attention. There is no deadline for seeking support, and you do not have to navigate your journey alone.

The Purposed Healing team is available to support you as you process your experiences, rebuild your sense of self, and move toward healing at your own pace.

You deserve safety. You deserve peace. You deserve support. 💜

Today was a great day for @purposedhealing! 💜

We had the opportunity to get out into the community, connect with some amazing people, and introduce our new MSW interns to another important side of social work and private practice—community engagement, networking, and marketing mental health services.

Our interns were able to earn field hours while gaining hands-on experience learning how to represent and market a mental health private practice, engage with community members, share resources, and build meaningful connections with other vendors and organizations.

Clinical skills are important, but learning how to build relationships, advocate for mental health, connect people to resources, and represent your organization in the community is part of professional development too!

A huge THANK YOU to @thetrifectaandcompany for providing this opportunity for Purposed Healing to participate and connect with the community. We appreciate the invitation and the space to promote healing, wellness, and access to mental health support.

Today was about learning, connecting, serving, and growing! 💜🌱

“Where the Script Was Written” traces it to slavery and how survival mode got passed down as a “family heirloom no one asked for.”#StrongBlackWoman #IntergenerationalTrauma #GenerationalHealing

““Strong Is Not a Personality”

She’s not okay. She’s just strong. 🖤
The Strong Black Woman schema is a cultural script — not a compliment. It tells Black women to be everything for everyone, to need nothing, and to carry it all in silence.

It looks like:
“I’m fine” when you’re falling apart.
Rest that feels like guilt.
Help that feels like failure.
Being praised for endurance — but never asked how you’re really doing.
Hear me clearly: strength was never the problem. Being denied softness was.

This week, I’m breaking down where this script came from and what it’s doing to your body , because you can’t heal what you won’t name.

Drop a 🖤 if you’ve ever said “I’m fine” when you weren’t. Tag a sister who needs this series.

📌 Save this. Part 2 drops next.

We are in a time where the need is greater than ever. With the suspension of SNAP benefits, many individuals and families are struggling to make ends meet. This is our moment to come together as a community and make a difference.

Virgina State University’s , Master of Social Work Class of 2027 is collecting nonperishable food items to support students, families, and community members affected by this crisis. Every can, box, or bag you donate helps someone have what they need.

Let’s show what collective care looks like, when one of us is in need, all of us step up.

Together we serve. Together we strengthen our community. @vsu_msw27 by @purposedhealing
