🐾💛 Happy National Cat Day! 💛🐾
Our feline friends do so much more than curl up in our laps; they comfort us, ground us, and remind us what unconditional connection feels like. 🐱✨
From lowering stress and anxiety to easing loneliness and encouraging mindfulness, cats (and all pets!) have a powerful impact on mental health. Their steady purrs, gentle companionship, and playful curiosity remind us to slow down and enjoy the simple moments. 🌿
Today, we celebrate the healing power of our furry friends and all the ways they make life a little softer.
Give your cat an extra cuddle today (if they’ll allow it 😸).

🌿 Let’s Talk About Projection 🌿
Sometimes, the hardest truths to face are the ones we unknowingly place on others. Projection happens when we attribute our own feelings, fears, or beliefs to the people around us, often without realizing it.
Maybe we assume someone’s judging us when, deep down, we’re judging ourselves. Or we feel hurt by another person’s distance when we’re actually the ones afraid of closeness.
💛 The good news? Awareness is the first step toward change.
When we pause and ask ourselves:
- “What might this reaction be trying to show me about me?”
- “Is this really about them, or is something deeper being stirred in me?”
…we start to build compassion, both for ourselves and for others.
Therapy can help us explore these moments safely, untangle our patterns, and begin responding instead of reacting. 🌱

🧠 Caution: AI Has Limits in Mental Health Care
While AI tools can help us brainstorm ideas or access information, they cannot replace the deeply human parts of therapy, like emotional connection, safety planning, judgment, and ethical care.
As Reuben Smith, MS, LPC writes in his latest blog post, true healing requires more than data or algorithms. It requires compassion, presence, and a counselor who listens to body, mind, and heart.
We invite you to read his full reflection: “Cautions for AI in Counseling”. On our side, we’ll keep using technology thoughtfully, always putting people first. 💛
📎 Read it here:
AI can be useful for ideas and information, but it cannot replace the human connection at the heart of counseling. While AI may provide data or express concern, it cannot offer safety planning, therapeutic rapport, or the professional judgment of a trained counselor. For true healing, nothing replac...

Through this initiative, uninsured and income-eligible individuals who live or work in Southwest Missouri can receive five free counseling sessions to get started on their healing journey.
Because sometimes, the hardest part isn’t asking for help. it’s being able to afford it. Bridge to Hope is here to remove that barrier. 🌿
If you or someone you know could benefit from this program, please reach out. There’s hope waiting on the other side. 💚

Faith Community Health (FAiTH) is a Christian faith-based charitable clinic providing medical, vision, mental health and prescription services at affordable income-based rates. Our services are available to our neighbors living or working in Ozark Mountain Country, including all of Taney and Stone counties. Sharing God’s love through whole person care is the heartbeat of what we do. It’s our mission to provide access to affordable healthcare for the under-served who live or work in our community.
Registration to demonstrate financial need is necessary for income-based assistance. Our patients pay a portion of the cost of their care, ensuring that they have a personal commitment to improving their own health. We offer classes designed to promote wellness of spirit, mind and body for our clients, helping them learn how to enjoy healthier lifestyles.
In addition to primary care, FAiTH offers a full service medication office five days a week to meet the pharmaceutical needs of our patients. Patients have access to all of their prescription needs for a simple $10 monthly administrative fee. Prescriptions may be filled at area pharmacies if patients prefer or if we are unable to supply a particular need. We do not dispense narcotics.
Same day urgent care visits are available with KwikCare for just $75 or less. Patients may be seen in person or via KwikCare Online in our clinic. Services include treatment for colds and flu, stomach viruses, allergies, strep throat, urinary tract infections, bug bites, bee stings, minor cuts and burns, strains and sprains.
Our patients also have access to vision care services that offer income-based exam fees and low, affordable prices for eye wear, saving our patients hundreds of dollars.
FaithCare is an employer-based healthcare benefit program that provides a solution to area employers for the medical and vision needs of their uninsured workforce. With monthly subscription plans beginning at $29/month for employers and $10 appointment fees for members, FaithCare is an innovative solution to offer direct primary healthcare services for uninsured employees. FaithCare helps businesses improve employee recruitment and retention, equipping them to better respond to labor pressures in a growing economy.
FAiTH is making a big impact in the lives of thousands of hardworking people and their families in our community. We serve hundreds of patients with chronic medical needs like Diabetes, COPD, high blood pressure and cardiac disease. Without our assistance, most of these patients would be unable to obtain the medicines and healthcare needed for them to remain healthy and provide for their families.
Research demonstrates that Faith Community Health creates over $600,000 annually in savings for local hospitals. FAiTH partners with Dispensary of Hope for access to pharmaceuticals for our patients. A comprehensive Dispensary of Hope study showed that charitable clinics like ours offering prescriptions to patients who otherwise could not afford them reduce inpatient admissions by more than half. Emergency department visits decrease by more than 35%, with cost savings greater than 40%. Because most of our patients have no health insurance, hospital care often creates an impossible burden for their families.
We create value. Faith Community Health saves the families of our patients millions of dollars each year while helping them improve their health. Branson area businesses benefit from a healthier workforce with less missed work days and employees who are enabled to provide superior guest services consistently. Cox Medical Center Branson is able to refer patients with limited ability to pay for services to FAiTH to ensure that their ongoing medical needs are met, reducing preventable hospital admissions and ER visits. And the impact of hundreds, perhaps thousands of patients having the resources they need to remain healthy and in the workforce, supporting their families rather than growing dependent on others, is incalculable.
Faith Community Health provides a 10 to 1 return on investment. In other words, the value we provide to our community is 10 times greater than the cost of our operations, thanks to partnerships with organizations like Dispensary of Hope, Direct Relief, AmeriCares, UMKC at MSU School of Pharmacy, the Skaggs Foundation, drug manufacturers, Ozarks Family Vision Centre and CoxHealth.
How do we do this when patient fees cover only a portion of the cost of care? We are dependent on the generous donations of businesses, churches and families who recognize the value of our work and care about the well-being of their friends and neighbors. Without you, Faith Community Health would not be able to bring hope to the more than 6,000 patients we have served. You make a huge difference in the lives of many families. Thank you for caring. May God bless you!
