Every week, we take a deeper look at the issues shaping the emotional and spiritual health of today’s families. These reflections go beyond headlines and political talking points, offering:
• Mental health insights grounded in trauma‑informed practice and real‑world clinical experience.

Clear, accessible summaries of emerging studies, statewide trends, and national issues affecting children, families, and communities.
Each week, we translate complex research into practical, understandable insights. These breakdowns include:
• New peer‑reviewed studies on child development, trauma, education, neuroscience, and family systems.
• Statewide Florida trends in mental health, school performance, youth risk behaviors, and policy shifts.
• National data on cultural changes, substance use, technology impacts, and generational well‑being.

Faith-Anchored Encouragement: A Weekly Series for 2026
Welcome to the 2026 edition of Faith-Anchored Encouragement, a weekly series by Dr. Franklin Edward Shoemaker, PhD, LMHC, QS, TF-CBT. As a licensed mental health counselor with over three decades of experience in trauma-focused and attachment-based therapy, I draw from both clinical insights and timeless biblical wisdom to offer encouragement that lifts minds and futures above the partisan lines and noise of politics. This series is designed for the Substack Elevate MINDS ABOVE Politics - Above the Partisan Lines & Noise, focusing on building resilience, fostering unity, and promoting mental well-being through faith in Christ. Each week features a key Bible verse, a reflective title, and a brief encouragement to help you navigate life’s challenges with grace, prioritizing eternal truths over fleeting debates.
Posts are scheduled for Sundays, starting January 4, 2026.
