When the Headlines Hit Home: How Current Events Affect Your Mental Health

By Marquita Bolden

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted by the news lately, you’re not alone. When we see anti-trans laws passing, DEI programs being eliminated, ICE raids in our communities, or “religious freedom” bills being used to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people, these events hit differently for those of us in marginalized communities. They’re not just political news—they feel personal because they are personal.

Your reactions to current events are completely normal. When you see headlines about laws that could affect your rights, your safety, or your ability to get basic services, your brain treats this as a real threat. Your nervous system doesn’t distinguish between physical danger and social or political threats—it just knows something that matters to you is under attack.

Understanding why current events affect your mental health so deeply can help you be gentler with yourself while developing practical tools to stay engaged with the world around you without burning out.

Understanding Sliding Scale Therapy: Making Mental Health Accessible

By therapycenteradmin

Are you considering therapy but worried about the cost? You’re not alone. At TCP, we believe everyone deserves quality mental health care, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why we’ve created a sliding scale fee system that meets you where you are financially.

With sessions starting at just $30 (compared to the typical $150-$175 in Philly), we make therapy possible for people who might otherwise go without care. In a city with a 21.7% poverty rate, affordability isn’t just a nice feature—it’s essential for making sure everyone can access the support they need.

What matters most is that you get the help you deserve, without the added stress of financial strain. Our clients tell us that removing the financial barrier allows them to focus on what really matters: their healing journey.

Giving Tuesday

By therapycenteradmin

TCP provides vital mental health services to women and gender-expansive people in Philadelphia through sliding-scale therapy starting at $30 per session. As we expand to accept Medicaid and additional insurance providers, we need community support to maintain our accessible care model that achieves a 92% client retention rate. This Giving Tuesday, your donation helps ensure culturally-competent, affirming therapy remains available to those who need it most, regardless of ability to pay.
The excerpt maintains the key points about TCP’s mission, their current expansion efforts, and the Giving Tuesday call-to-action, while being brief enough to serve as an effective preview of the full post.
