Kindness in Kerrville

Those of us who are good parents and caretakers do everything we can to keep our children safe.

We feed them healthy food.
We take them to the doctor.
We teach them to look both ways,
and we teach them to make good choices.

But how often do we teach them how to care for their mental health?

How often do we teach them what to do when they, or a friend, is struggling?

Let’s be real, sometimes our kids tune us out. And in their defense, understandably so.

I mean… we ARE are always talking, teaching, guiding and redirecting 😆.

That’s part of being a parent. But eventually, all that teaching by us can fall on tired ears, and they tune us out.
(insert teen eye roll here🙄)

We spend years offering safety advice because we love them.

Though, not all teachings have to come fully from us.

Sometimes the best thing
we can do is connect them to others, including real-world training.

Consider bringing them to this su***de prevention training.

It could give your child the confidence to recognize when something isn’t right and the courage to respond!

This training will help people know when to reach out, and what positive, and life changing skills those are.

Our next CALM (Counseling to Access Lethal Means) Su***de prevention training will be

Saturday, May 2

The latest from our KPD officers on the street: A dusting of snow and sleet is beginning to accumulate, moving in from the west. Visibility out west is a little over a quarter of a mile. Currently, we haven’t seen icy conditions in town but we are monitoring and we continue to ask folks to avoid unnecessary travel, as we expect conditions to get worse in town throughout the day. Based on the forecasts we’ve seen, we expect temperature to stay below freezing for the next 48 hours. Our friends at Kerr County Sheriff's Office are reporting Highway 39 and IH 10 are getting slick, and Kerrville Fire Department medics ran into some slick spots out in Tierra Linda. If you must drive, use extreme caution.

Kindness in Kerrville would like to take a moment to recognize a quiet, behind the scenes act of heroism in our community that was shared with us
by a community members wife.

Last Thursday, a Kerrville resident, Steven Smith, was driving home for lunch when he noticed a yard fire  spreading towards a neighbors home.

Steven demonstrated quick thinking, and took action.

He calmly called 911, notified the homeowners through their ring doorbell, and used a hose to help extinguish the fire until firefighters arrived.

Thanks to Steven‘s actions, and the quick response of the Kerrville
firefighters, everyone is safe, and the fire was contained before it reached the home.

Thank you, Steven Smith, for your quick thinking, selflessness, and kindness. Kerrville is fortunate to have neighbors like you!

It was a Sunday full of shopping and Christmas preparation for most, but one Kerrville resident had a doggone difficult situation on his hands and couldn’t seem to find any
