Sometimes the words we need most are the ones we forget to tell ourselves. 💚

During Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re encouraging our patients, staff, and community to pause for a moment and check in with themselves. Life gets busy, stressful, and overwhelming sometimes, but even a few kind words can make a difference.

If you or someone you know could use extra support, LCH&D offers Behavioral Health services to help care for your mental and emotional well-being.

📞 Call 440-240-1655 to schedule an appointment today.

To start things off...

What has been the best thing about your child's past year of learning and growing? Infant, toddler, preschool, elementary, and beyond!
