My own experiences with isolation and substance use aren't just past struggles; they're the foundation of how I connect with clients. Mindful self-disclosure allows for authentic healing.

MHA Behavioral Health Program Supervisor Lashaveous Dicker recently participated in an event with members of the Beacon Police Department at Beacon High School. Lashaveous shares a brief overview of the event:

"Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), formerly known as Students Against Driving Drunk, plays a vital role in helping students make positive choices and avoid harmful behaviors. The organization empowers young people to share educational and preventative messages with their peers through engaging activities in schools and the community. Their initiatives include peer-led classes and forums, teen workshops, conferences, rallies, prevention education, leadership training, awareness campaigns, and legislative advocacy.

Recently, SADD hosted a Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, providing an excellent opportunity for students to connect with local law enforcement. Officers from the Beacon Police Department, including Chief Figlia, Lt. Confield, Detective Underwood, and myself, participated in a Q&A session that fostered open dialogue. Approximately 15 students actively engaged in the discussion, contributing to a constructive exchange of ideas and experiences. This event not only strengthened community ties but also encouraged students to think critically about safety and decision-making and the mental health resources available to them."

Employee Wellness! 🎨🖌️🖼️

MHA of Dutchess County would like to thank Toni Evans from ART PartY for a relaxing afternoon of painting. Toni led the staff who signed up through an art class on how to paint a nature scene featuring a butterfly. At first, everyone started out similar, but as the process went on, people's individual creativity kicked in and you'll see how each person made the painting their own.

While MHA strives help you with your mental health, we also make it a priority to care of our staff, and provide moments and opportunities of expression and relaxation.
