We wanted to share some of the fun from this year’s Prairie Ridge's Annual Halloweenie Roast! Nights like this show just how special things become when community spirit and teamwork come together.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success: from those who volunteered their time to those who came out with their families to celebrate with us. Your support and energy are what make this tradition so special. 🧡

We'd love to see your photos also! Tag us or share them in the comments below!

For those wondering, "What is an ACT Team?"
ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) is a team-based approach that meets people where they are, literally. Instead of expecting individuals to come to us, we bring support to them in their homes or in their communities.

Our team walks alongside people on their journey, offering therapy, medication support, crisis response, and help with everyday living skills. The goal: build trust, reduce hospitalizations, and support people in living independently and achieving their personal goals.

Secret Power of Stress
Stress is often seen as the enemy — draining, overwhelming, unavoidable. But when used well, stress can become a powerful source of energy and growth. Instead of reacting impulsively, learning to pause, reflect, and choose healthier responses helps us shift from simply coping to building resilience — and even thriving.
Through concepts like Raw Coping Power and practices such as mindful breathing, positive affirmations, and healthier lifestyle habits, stress transforms from pressure into potential. With the right mindset and supportive environments — at home, at work, and in our communities — we can harness stress as a launchpad to become stronger, healthier, and more resilient.

What We Offer

Resilience & Thriving
The Resilience and Thriving program helps employees recognize response to daily stress and equips them with practical tools to build resilience over time. Grounded in positive psychology and evidence-based practices, the workshop teaches participants to reframe challenges, strengthen coping strategies, and turn everyday stressors into opportunities for growth. The result is a healthier, more engaged, and more adaptable workforce.

The Ripple Effect
OWLS’ Resilience and Thriving program helps employees recognize how they respond to daily stress and equips them with practical tools to build resilience over time. Grounded in positive psychology and evidence-based practices, the workshop teaches participants to reframe challenges, strengthen coping strategies, and turn everyday stressors into opportunities for growth. The result is a healthier, more engaged, and more adaptable workforce.
