Sometimes the students who seem to have it all together are the ones struggling the most.

Anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts aren't always visible to the people around us. That's why early identification matters.

Through Samaritan's Wellness Screen program, students in local schools have a safe opportunity to share how they're really doing, even when they haven't found the words to ask for help.

In recognition of October's Mental Health Screening Month, we're shining a light on the important work happening in our schools to identify mental health concerns early and connect students and families with the support they need.

Want to learn more? Read our latest Wellness Wednesday Q&A with Taylor Connell to discover how Wellness Screen works, why it matters, and what happens when a student needs additional support.

Congratulations to First 5 Fox Valley on the ribbon cutting of the new Family Resource Center in downtown Appleton last night!

Samaritan is thrilled to be part of this exciting new chapter in supporting children, parents, and families throughout the Fox Valley.

We believe strong families help build strong communities, and we're proud to partner in creating a welcoming space where families can connect with resources, find support, and thrive.

Beginning next month, Samaritan will have a counselor onsite at the Family Resource Center offering outpatient mental health counseling. We'll also be offering groups and workshops designed to support single parents as they navigate the joys and challenges of raising a family.

Want to see this incredible new space for yourself?

Join us TOMORROW, Saturday, October 10, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the Family Resource Center Open House, happening alongside the Downtown Appleton Farmers Market! Stop by, explore the new center, and visit Samaritan's table to learn more about our upcoming workshop for single parents.

Congratulations again to First 5 Fox Valley and all the partners who have helped bring this vision to life. We're excited for all the good things ahead for Fox Valley families!

This week is Mental Illness Awareness Week, and October is Mental Health Screening Month.

At Samaritan, we know that one of the most powerful things we can do for mental health is notice when someone may be struggling and help connect them with support.

Thatโ€™s exactly what our Wellness Screen team does in local schools. Through confidential mental wellness screenings, our team helps identify students who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, thoughts of self-harm, or other concerns, sometimes before the adults in their lives know they are struggling. They listen, ask important questions, and help connect students and families with the support they need.

Throughout October, weโ€™ll introduce you to some of the incredible people behind this work and give you a closer look at what screening really means, how it works, and why it matters.

Because sometimes, asking the right question at the right time can change the course of a young personโ€™s life.

Our youth are navigating an ever-increasing digital environment. They are growing up in a world shaped by artificial intelligence, social media algorithms, constant digital connection and rapidly evolving technology.

We asked some of Samaritan's counselors to share what their favorite thing about their work is.

The common theme we saw was that the passion for the field comes down to the connection with others. Our counselors find this work deeply meaningful because they get to build relationships with their clients and connect with them on a deeper level.

They also get to celebrate and cheer for them as they move through their individual journeys toward healing and growth.

As Su***de Prevention Month wraps up, we invite you to keep the conversation going year-round. Awareness matters.

Su***de prevention belongs to all of us. The first person to notice that someone is struggling, often isn't a mental health professional. It is a friend who realizes that the text messages have stopped. A co-worker that notices someone isn't quite themselves. A parent, neighbor, teacher, faith leader or family member who senses something has changed.

In these moments, don't worry about having the perfect words, being able to diagnose a problem or being able to fix something. Just be willing to notice, ask, listen and help connect them with support.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health or su***de crisis, call or text ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ– to reach the ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ– ๐’๐ฎ๐ข๐œ๐ข๐๐ž & ๐‚๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ ๐‹๐ข๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ž. You can also contact 988 if you are worried about someone and need guidance on how to help.
