Prepare to Have Fun on the 4th!

As we are approaching 4th of July Paul Hoskins Counseling LLC would like to provide a public service announcement to help everyone feel safe and have fun this independence day. I hope everyone has a FUN and safe holiday celebration! It is so important to have fun with friends and families and I also would encourage everyone to be mindful of neighbors who may have sensitivities related to loud noises that fireworks create. This may include, people who have PTSD related to war experiences, people with Sensory challenges and please don't forget about pets that might be scared of the loud noises. Please do what you can so that people (and pets) who have sensitivities can also feel safe and enjoy the holidays. Sometimes speaking to neighbors or posting online ahead of time letting them know when fireworks may begin and end may be helpful as it gives people time to prepare so they may do things like put in earplugs or play music to block out the noise especially if they are likely to have a negative reaction to the noise. Enjoy the 4th everyone!!
