Swanson Center extends our sincere gratitude to the Health Foundation of LaPorte (HFL) for funding our Compassion in Crisis: Strengthening Mental Health Response at Swanson Center training program for our employees.

This Crisis Prevention and Intervention initiative equips our team with enhanced tools to recognize, de-escalate, and respond compassionately to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. Through HFL’s generous support, we’re building a stronger, more responsive system of care for our community—one that prioritizes safety, understanding, and hope.

Life can be wonderful — and really tough — all at once. That’s why World Mental Health Day is so important.

Today is about reminding each other that mental health is just as vital as physical health. It’s about ending the stigma and building a world where asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

The theme this year, “One in Mind,” speaks to something simple but powerful — we’re all connected. When we care for one another’s wellbeing, we make the world a little softer, a little kinder.

Take a moment today to reach out, to listen, to show up. Because when it comes to mental health, we’re truly one in mind — and no one should walk this road alone.
