🕯️ This National Su***de Prevention Week, we invite our community to take action. Su***de is preventable, and every one of us has a role to play.

Here’s how you can help today:

🔹 Learn to recognize the warning signs in friends, family, and coworkers
🔹 Share the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline so more people know where to turn
🔹 Remind those around you that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness

At Ouachita Behavioral Health & Wellness, we’re proud to provide accessible mental health services for children, teens, and adults across Central Arkansas. Together, we can break the silence and spread hope. 🌱💙

If you or someone you love is struggling, call or text 988 for immediate support.

Learn more about our services at https://obhaw.org/ or stop by our Walk-In Clinic in Hot Springs—no appointment needed.

🇺🇸 Meet Veteran Jeff S.

Not long ago, Jeff and his family were without a home—spending every last dollar they had just to make it through another night in a motel. Each month was a fight for survival, never knowing what tomorrow would bring.

But today, their story is shifting. ✨ Thanks to Jared with Scars and Stripes Inc., emergency housing has been secured for the family while they begin a program designed to help them move into a permanent home.

This is more than just a roof over their heads—it’s a fresh start, a chance to rebuild, and a reminder that hope can show up when it’s needed most.

Please join us in celebrating Jeff and his family as they step into this new chapter of their journey. ❤️🏡
