History of Rebuild Your Life Month
Rebuild Your Life Month, observed every June, started as a beacon of hope and renewal for those needing a fresh start.
Donald Etkes, a PhD, initiated this observance to support adults dealing with the long-term effects of childhood neglect or abuse. His vision was to create a time when individuals could concentrate on enhancing their self-worth and discovering their inner strength.
As years passed, the focus of Rebuild Your Life Month expanded to embrace anyone aspiring to make substantial changes in their life.
It’s now a period for reflection and decisive action for people from all walks of life, encouraging them to assess their lives and make meaningful changes.
This month acts as a catalyst, motivating people to alter their paths toward greater happiness and fulfillment.
