September 10th is World Su***de Prevention Day, and September is Su***de Awareness & Prevention Month.

We at Ancora are proud to be part of the movement to raise awareness, break the stigma, and remind everyone that help is available. If you or someone you love is struggling with thoughts of su***de, reaching out for support is a sign of strength—not weakness.

You are not alone. Therapy can provide a safe space to talk, process, and develop coping tools. Let’s look out for one another and spread hope.

If you need immediate help, call or text 988 (Su***de & Crisis Lifeline) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

To schedule an intake appointment with one of Ancora Counseling Center's therapists, call (336) 427-9022.

🌿 Tuesday Tip 🌿

When you hear the word hospice, it’s natural to feel uncertain. One of the questions we hear most often is:
👉 “How do I know if my loved one is eligible?”

Hospice care is for people facing a serious, life-limiting illness—when the focus shifts from curing to comfort, dignity, and quality of life.

Some signs it may be the right time include:
✔️ Needing more help with daily activities
✔️ Spending more time resting or sleeping
✔️ Ongoing weight loss or weakness
✔️ Frequent hospital or ER visits
✔️ A noticeable decline, even with treatment

Hospice doesn’t mean giving up hope—it means shifting hope toward making the most of each day, surrounded by comfort and compassion.

✨ Watch this week’s Tuesday Tip video to learn more about who may be eligible for hospice care, and how Ancora Compassionate Care can walk alongside you and your loved ones on this journey.

🌿 Tuesday Tip of the Day 🌿

When people hear “hospice,” they often think of only the final days of life. This week, we explore a few things you might not know:

✨ Hospice care can begin months before the final stage of life, providing more time for support.
✨ It’s about living fully—focusing on comfort, dignity, and making meaningful memories.
✨ Hospice supports the whole family with emotional care, education, and even grief counseling.
✨ Most hospice care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and many private insurances.

Hospice isn’t about giving up hope—it’s about redefining it.
💜 Hope for comfort.
💜 Hope for peace.
💜 Hope for time with the people who matter most.

📽️ Watch this week’s video to learn more about how hospice care can bring comfort and support when it’s needed most.
