🎉 Huge Congratulations to Scotty Smittle, LPC – Mental Health Professional of the Year! 🏆

This past week, Scotty Smittle was honored as the Mental Health Professional of the Year at the 9th Annual Conway Area Healthcare Awards and we couldn’t be more proud! 💚

Scotty’s compassion, dedication, and unwavering commitment to his clients and coworkers truly set him apart. He brings hope, healing, and strength to every life he touches. Beyond his professional impact, Scotty is a steady, loving presence for his own family, showing the same kindness, support, and strength at home that he brings to his work every day.

Whether he's offering support to someone in crisis or encouraging a coworker through a tough day, Scotty leads with heart, integrity, and empathy. He embodies what it means to serve others, and we can’t think of anyone more deserving of this honor.

Please join us in celebrating Scotty for this well-earned recognition. Thank you for everything you do, Scotty! Your work matters, and you make a difference every single day.💚

A big congratulations to Mollie Zimmerman and Marcy Burgener, who each won a self-care basket from Rise! 🎉

Thank you again, Sacred Heart, for the warm welcome and for prioritizing mental wellness in your school community. 💚
