Today our REACH Team participated in The Check-in Mental Health Conference at the Waxahachie Civic Center. We were able to provide the opportunity for participants to build their personalized“Coping Kit”, and visit the “Serenity Space” and “Activities Center.”We encourage our Ellis County Community members to take a moment to complete the Community Mental Health & Substance Use Awareness Survey to help us collect data needed for resources in Ellis County.

Great idea on how to “Disconnect to Reconnect” from our friends at Operation Parent.

Cooking together is about more than just making dinner. From measuring ingredients to choosing recipes, kids build confidence, independence, and life skills while families create space for conversation and connection. Even small moments in the kitchen can turn into meaningful memories.

Conversation starter: “What’s one meal or recipe you hope you always remember from childhood?”

“As a parent, you want the best for your child, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Sometimes it can be hard to know what your child needs and where to go for help. Here are resources to help support your child’s mental and emotional health.”

Celebrating all the love, strength, and care that moms bring into our lives 💐

This Mother’s Day, honor the people who nurture us by taking care of yourself too! Make healthy choices, stay safe, and create moments you’ll truly remember.

Here’s to a day full of gratitude, joy, and well-being 💛

Did you Know?!

Galaxy Gas contains nitrous oxide — and when teens inhale it recreationally, it can quickly affect oxygen levels, coordination, and the nervous system. Parents may notice warning signs like empty canisters, balloons, dizziness, confusion, headaches, mood changes, secrecy, or complaints of numbness and tingling.

If your teen loses consciousness, has trouble breathing, has a seizure, or has blue or pale lips, call 911 immediately.

Learn the signs before it becomes a crisis about Galaxy Gas on our website.

Here’s a simple trick that can help pull your brain out of panic mode 👇

Sour candy gives your senses something strong to focus on, which may help interrupt racing thoughts and bring you back to the present moment.

It’s not a cure, but it can be a helpful grounding tool when anxiety spikes.

Would you try this? 🍬🧠
