A change in behavior. Withdrawal from friends. A drop in school performance. Educators may notice these signs before a student asks for help.

Join us for EMPOWER Schools, a free online educational event for teachers, administrators, and school staff. Build practical skills to support students while staying within your professional role through three steps:

🔹 Recognize mental and behavioral health problems
🔹 Relate to young people experiencing challenges
🔹 Reveal a starting point for care and support for families.

Learn to listen without judgment, recognize su***de warning signs, maintain professional boundaries, and help students and families connect with appropriate care.

📅 Monday, October 12
⏰ 12:00 – 2:00 PM CT
📍 Online via Zoom

Yesterday’s Chrysalis Luncheon was a memorable afternoon of connection, generosity, and support for the Hope and Healing Center & Institute’s mission.

A special thank-you to Earl Campbell, our keynote speaker, for sharing his time and story with our guests and helping make the afternoon so meaningful. We also thank Greg Bailey from ABC13 for serving as our presenter and extend our sincere appreciation to our Chrysalis Luncheon Chairs, Tricia and Richard Nelson and family, for their leadership and commitment to making this event possible.

To our guests, sponsors, and supporters, thank you for helping put mental health care within reach for individuals and families in our community.

Mental health care should be within reach when people need it.

At Hope and Healing Center & Institute, expanding access means looking beyond any single program or service.

We provide care to meet needs today. We study and evaluate what works. We turn that knowledge into practical education that equips individuals, faith communities, schools, and workplaces to recognize mental health needs and connect people to care.

Care. Research. Education. Each strengthens the next, helping extend the reach of care into more communities.

See how HHCI is expanding access to care and discover how you can be part of that impact:

We are so very grateful to the Fishes and our Event Chairs, Tricia and Richard Nelson, for helping host a wonderful evening. We look forward to seeing everyone again at River Oaks Country Club next Thursday!
