One of our favorite things about the car show is taking your feedback each year and finding ways to make it happen! We brought the Kids Choice Award to the event last year and you all asked for an opportunity for the adults to cast a ballot -

So this year, you get to tell us which cars you love via:
The People's Choice Award!

This new award will be joining our Kids Choice Award to give you an opportunity to have a say in who receives recognition for the amazing vehicles brought to the show.

This is your chance to tell us what car, truck, bike, or trike you love the best! If you have a car, truck, SUV, bike, or tricycle is special to you, we would love to have it in our show! Get ready for a day of amazing cars, delicious food, and exciting prizes – all to support mental health and developmental disability services in our communities!

Social media can be a huge drain on your mental health.

📱 Social Media Boundaries = Self-Care 🧠

While social media can be a great tool for connection and information, excessive use—especially doom scrolling—can impact your mental health in real ways:

😵‍💫 Increased anxiety and overwhelm
💤 Disrupted sleep
📉 Lowered self-esteem from constant comparison
🧠 Mental fatigue and attention difficulties

Creating healthy boundaries with social media isn’t about restriction—it’s about protection. Your feed shapes your mindset — so make it a safe, inspiring place to be. Check out the picture below for some social media wellness tips!

Monday, members of our team took our mobile mental health clinic, which is operated out of our Kimble County Clinic area, to the Sutton County Commissioners Court. They were able to give a tour to the Commissioners, explain how the mobile clinic operates, and answer any questions.

Our mobile mental health clinics are now a regular part of our outreach across our service area, and a valuable resource to our rural communities where accessing services can be a challenge.

Teen dating violence is more common than many people think. One in three teens in the U.S. will experience physical, sexual or emotional abuse by someone they are in a relationship with before they become adults. This isn’t just a “growing up” issue, it’s a serious safety concern that affects mental health, future relationships, and overall well-being.

Healthy relationships are built on respect, trust, and communication. By recognizing the warning signs and starting conversations early, we can help protect the young people in our communities.
