Gratitude is more than a fleeting thankfulness; it's a state of mind that involves recognizing and appreciating the positive aspects of life. At EmpathyHQ, we embrace gratitude as a cornerstone of mental well-being, acknowledging its potential to shift perspectives, foster resilience, and promote overall emotional health.

Scientific studies have linked the practice of gratitude to various mental health benefits. Expressing gratitude is associated with reduced stress, improved mood, increased levels of happiness, and enhanced overall psychological well-being. EmpathyHQ integrates gratitude practices as a holistic approach to supporting individuals on their mental health journey.

Gratitude as a Coping Mechanism:

In the face of life's challenges, gratitude serves as a valuable coping mechanism. By focusing on what one is thankful for, individuals can navigate stressors with a more optimistic outlook.

Building a culture of gratitude creates a supportive network that contributes to collective mental well-being.

Do I have to have custody agreement or court order for my child to receive services?

YES. If your child does not live with both biological parents and there is any court order or custody agreement in place, it must be on file. In order for a counselor to see your child, they must have obtained and reviewed the MOST RECENT custody agreement or court order, and any applicable part of a divorce decree that mentions custody. When federal or state statutes provide an exemption to secure consent of a parent or guardian prior to providing services to a minor, the counselor must follow the protocol set forth in such federal or state statutes. If documentation is not provided, your child cannot be seen by a counselor.
