With Halloween fast approaching, patients had a blast attending our "Hocus Pocus Waffle Bar" special event! Our Rec Therapy team helped patients spark socialization and learn lessons related to decision-making and creativity. Patients were able to pick their own toppings for their waffles, and then watch the movie Hocus Pocus. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a magically-good time!

We recently hosted a special event in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. The event allowed us to celebrate the vibrant culture, rich traditions, and diverse contributions of the Hispanic community.

Today, we honor the brave heroes who endured unimaginable hardship as prisoners of war. Their strength, courage, and perseverance continue to inspire us all. As we pay tribute, it's important to acknowledge the impact these experiences can have on their behavioral health. Many POWs face ongoing challenges with PTSD, anxiety, and trauma recovery - making access to quality behavioral health support critical. Let's continue to raise awareness and stand by these heroes, ensuring they receive the care they deserve to heal both mentally and physically. #POWRecognitionDay #HonorAndHeal #VeteransCare #SupportOurHeroes

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and we are motivated to help create hope through action. We are incredibly proud of our patients for recently participating in a 2k walk in honor of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Their commitment to raising awareness and supporting mental health is truly inspiring. We walked together to spread hope, end stigma, and remind everyone that they are never alone. We want to thank San Antonio PAWS for allowing us to utilize their service therapy dogs, and NAMI Greater San Antonio for advocating alongside us and motivating our patients. We also want to give a big shoutout to HTEAO for keeping us refreshed! #WalkForHope
