Our therapists embody empathy, with their hearts always in action—inside the office and beyond. 💛

We've got a whole team of rockstars! Here's board member Christine. Why does she volunteer with HISKIDS in IOWA? "As a therapist, I understand the value of being able to grieve any of life's losses in a nonjudgmental way. I joined HISKIDS in IOWA because it provides a safe space for kids to not only share their grief, but also be accepted in their grief."

And it's true, we're the BEST criers this side of the Mississippi!

Su***de Prevention Week - Together in Strength, Dignity, Hope, and Purpose.

This week, we pause to remember lives lost, support those who are struggling, and spread hope. 💚

You are not alone.
Every story matters.
Every voice deserves to be heard.
Reaching out can save a life—whether it’s checking in on a friend, starting a conversation, or seeking support for yourself.

📞 If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Together, we can break the silence, reduce stigma, and bring hope to our communities.
