House of Raeford Farms FLOCK AND DUPLIN SCHOOLS PARTNER TO STRENGTHEN STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH 🍎📚
Recognizing that unmet emotional, physical, and social needs can significantly hinder a student’s ability to learn, House of Raeford Farms FLOCK partnered with Duplin County Schools in North Carolina to help address a growing mental health challenge. Since the fall of 2024, FLOCK, the nonprofit arm of House of Raeford, has contributed $160,000 to support a behavioral health initiative established by the school system nine years ago.

The mental health program integrates virtual support from East Carolina University (ECU) Tele-medicine and psychiatry Tele-health services from the University of North Carolina (UNC). In-person therapy is provided by Tar Heel Human Services, a local mental health practice.

❓ Question: Do I need a referral to see a therapist?

👍 Answer: Good news! Most of the time, no referral is needed! You can usually reach out to a therapist directly. However, some insurance plans might require one, so it’s always smart to double-check with your provider first.

If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment, give us a call: (910) 298-6207

😌👍☀️Therapy isn’t just for crisis moments. It’s for any time you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in negative patterns, or just not quite yourself. Maybe you’re dealing with stress, relationship struggles, or just want a safe space to explore your feelings.
If your mental or emotional health is affecting your daily life or happiness, therapy can be a great step toward feeling better and gaining new tools to cope.

Remember, taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body. Don’t hesitate to reach out! (910) 298-6207

⏸ Mental Health Tip of the Month: Practice the Pause

👉 In moments of stress or emotional overwhelm, take a brief pause before reacting. A few deep breaths, a short walk, or even counting to ten can help create space between a trigger and your response. This small practice can improve emotional regulation, reduce reactivity, and enhance your ability to respond with intention rather than impulse.

☕️ Remember: sometimes the most powerful tool is a moment of stillness.

Move Your Body, Boost Your Mood!! 💃👟🧘🏽‍♀️🏋🏻‍♂️ Even just 10–15 minutes of physical activity a day can make a big difference for your mental health.

Whether it’s a brisk walk, stretching, dancing, or a quick workout, movement helps release endorphins, reduce stress, and improve focus. You don’t need a gym, just get your body moving in a way that feels good to you. Small, consistent activity can lead to a clearer mind and a better mood.
