Compass Intervention Center

We were thrilled to be a breakfast sponsor for Lakeside Behavioral Health System's Fall Conference: “Shattered: A Look At Narcissistic Abuse From A Healer’s Perspective.“ Many thanks to Tonya Ginn, Director of Business Development, and Lori Skahan, Business Development Account Manager, for representing Compass at this event!

Every day, thousands of kids experience bullying at school and online through their phones and other devices. In fact, one in every five students reports being bullied during the school year. Bullying can take many forms, including unwanted aggressive behavior, observed or perceived power imbalance, and adverse repeated behavior. Statistics also show that victims of childhood bullying have a higher risk of developing mental health issues, including higher risks of suicide. You can help prevent bullying as an individual and within your community by fostering kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. For more information, visit stopbullying.gov, or pacer.org.

We are proud to welcome the newest members of our leadership team! (Left to right) Stan Howell, Director of Patient Services; Demeco Bell, CEO; Dr. Jamie Pettit, Clinical Program Director; and Gaylin Clark, Director of Admissions. We are thrilled to have added these experienced professionals to the Compass team!

Our team had a blast throwing a carnival for our residential patients! The kids had so much fun, and the adults did too! Thank you to everyone who helped pull this event together, and a very special thank you to the staff who volunteered for the dunk tank. We heard that the water was a little cold! 🥶

National Recovery Month is an observance held every September to promote and support our nation's strong and proud recovery community. It is also a time to celebrate the dedication of service providers and communities who make recovery in all its forms possible. Recovery is possible for every person, every family, and every community. #RecoveryMonth #RecoveryisForEveryone

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month — a time to raise awareness of this stigmatized, and often taboo, topic. We use this month to shift public perception, spread hope, and share vital information to people affected by suicide. Our goal is to ensure that individuals, friends, and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention and to seek help. If you or someone you know needs support now, call or text 988, or start a chat at 988Lifeline.org. The 988 Suicide and Crisis hotline will connect you with a trained crisis counselor who can help. #SPM24 #BeThere

We were a proud sponsor of today's TSPN Greater Memphis Suicide Prevention Conference. Our team was thrilled to connect with community partners and TSPN members to discuss ways to thrive together and transform stress into strength. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline provides free 24/7 connection to confidential support from trained professionals. Just call or text 988, or start a chat at 988lifeline.org.

Compass wore red, white, and blue today in remembrance of 9/11 in honor of those who lost their lives, those who stepped up to serve, and the countless sacrifices made. Compass will #neverforget!

We were proud to be a premier sponsor for this year's Memphis/Shelby County Schools Student Services Mental Health Summit, which was held at The University Center at The University of Memphis.

We were a proud sponsor of the 41st Annual Juvenile Justice Conference in Franklin, TN. We were happy to meet with community partners, juvenile court workers, judges, and other service providers to advocate for mental health services for the youth in our state.
