On Law Enforcement Appreciation Day — and every day — I’m grateful for the men and women in uniform who go beyond the call of duty to support the health and safety of our community. Especially those who step into difficult moments, respond to mental health crises, and choose compassion alongside responsibility.

In the latest episode of our podcast, retired officer Aaron Smith shares his perspective on why strong partnerships between Summit Pointe and law enforcement matter. Aaron is instrumental in our Crisis Intervention Training program, which provides officers the training to respond to mental health crises, leading to safer outcomes for community members and law enforcement. Thank you to all who serve our community with care, commitment, and integrity.

So proud of our Summit Pointe staff for their generosity in supporting Toys for Tots through the U.S. Marine Corps. 🎁

I’m honored to introduce Sgt. Sean Brown, a valued member of Summit Pointe’s Board of Directors who brings an essential frontline perspective to our work.
Through his role in crisis response and Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training, Sgt. Brown regularly encounters individuals experiencing mental health emergencies in the community. His experience responding in real time—and helping train others to do the same—offers invaluable insight into how mental health providers and first responders can work together to support people in moments of greatest need.

In this podcast interview he shares how these experiences inform his approach to crisis response and why partnership across systems matters so deeply. I hope you’ll take a moment to listen and hear his perspective.

I’m so proud to share this Common Ground article featuring one of our incredible Summit Pointe Recovery Coaches, Ashley Gibson.

Ashley, thank you for the heart you bring to this work and the impact you make every day.

Thanksgiving reminds me how fortunate I am to work alongside people who lead with compassion every single day.

To the entire Summit Pointe team: thank you for the heart you bring to this work. Our community is stronger, safer, and more hopeful because of you. Your dedication—often quiet, often unseen—creates real change for the people who need us most.

And a special note of gratitude for our First Step staff. While many are gathered around their own tables today, you’re showing up for our neighbors in crisis, 24/7, 365 days a year. Your service is the truest example of what it means to put people first.

I am deeply thankful for each of you.
Wishing everyone a safe and restorative holiday.
