Although it’s not Wednesday, we still wore our pink 💕 to bring awareness to Suicide Prevention Week at Westlake High School.

As Toody Byrd always said: “We dare to care.” 💪✨

Huge kudos to our amazing staff—Brooke, Katie, Diane Dealy, and Steve Ramsey—for showing up with heart. When leadership shows up for events like this, it shows a school is truly investing in mental health.

#SuicidePrevention #MentalHealthMatters #WeDareToCare #WestlakeStrong #austintherapyforgirls #onceachapalwaysachap

Get ready for National Suicide Prevention Week at WHS tomorrow! We'll be spreading awareness with pink treats and a vital message: 1 in 3 girls has considered suicide. Join the conversation! #therapyforgirls #suicidepreventionmonth #westlakehighschool #youareworthy

✨ Boundaries aren’t walls—they’re choices. ✨

Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, author of Real Self-Care, reminds us that real boundaries start with asking yourself: Is this a YES, a NO, or a MAYBE?

✅ Yes → Aligned with my values & capacity.
❌ No → Protects my time, energy, and mental health.
🤔 Maybe → “Let me think about it” (because slowing down is powerful, too).

Each response is a way of practicing real self-care—rooted in self-respect, not people-pleasing. 💖

💬 Which one do you need most this week: a YES, a NO, or a MAYBE?

Me at the start of the week: I won’t procrastinate.
Also me, channeling Mariah Carey 🎤: I was liiiiiying to myself ✨😂 #therapyforgirls #procrastinating #homework #backtoschool

✨ Glow Girl Moment ✨

One of the best parts of our Glow Girl groups is watching teens light up when they feel truly seen and heard. 💡💖

A recent article on the best ways to connect with your teen reminds us that connection doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s about:
💬 Listening more than you talk
🍕 Sharing small moments (a late-night snack run counts!)
🌟 Creating safe spaces for them to be themselves

That’s exactly what we practice in Glow Girl—helping tweens and teens build confidence, manage big feelings, and strengthen the bonds that matter most.

Your teen doesn’t need perfection, they just need you—present, curious, and willing to connect. 🫶
