October 10th is World Mental Health Day! 🌍🧠💙 We believe in the power of normalizing mental health conversations for everyone—children, adolescents, adults, and families. By breaking the stigma, we create a world where it's okay to talk about mental health. When children grow up in environments that prioritize open discussions about emotions, they learn early on that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. We are proud to provide mental health services to children, adolescents, adults, and families.

This week we had the privilege to host the annual Juvenile Drug Court Policies and Procedures Meeting! We spent the day brainstorming ways to better serve the children of Ouachita Parish, working together with incredible agencies like the 4th Judicial District Juvenile & Adult Drug Court, the Office of Juvenile Justice, Ouachita Parish Child Welfare & Attendance, Ouachita Parish Metro Narcotics, Longleaf Hospital, and our own Therapeutic Services program. We are thankful to be able to collaborate with, and educate, one another- making a difference for our youth and providing hope to children and families!💙
