As we are approaching the beginning of the school year, there are currently some repairs that Miss Ivy needs to be ready to serve the students of Jackson County. Additionally, I would like to establish a maintenance fund for ongoing upkeep. Please follow the link to ready Ivy's story. Even the smallest donation is a huge help. Thank you!

*spotfund is the easiest place to create beautiful and free online fundraisers. It takes just minutes to start raising money today.

Starting July 1, 2025, Westbrook Health Services will offer 24/7 mobile crisis response in all 8 counties we serve. If someone is experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis, they no longer need to come to our office or a hospital, they can now receive help where they are. Our 2-person crisis teams can be dispatched by calling or texting our crisis hotline at 304-485-1725. We’ll need a location, phone number (if available), the person’s name, and a summary of the situation. Friends or family can call on behalf of their adult loved ones if the adult loved ones are agreeable. Minors can be referred to by a parent or guardian. If needed for safety, law enforcement may accompany the team. We aim to respond within an hour and offer the same support as in-office visits, including referrals, safety planning, and compassionate care. Mobile crisis services do not replace emergency medical services. Please utilize 911 for active overdoses and other medical emergencies.

It has been a busy start to the summer for Good Courage! Last week Stephanie Ann Casto and Ivy the Play Therapy Bus traveled to for the Annual Conference to spread the word about preventing and overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and today is the 1st Anniversary of Good Courage being a full time private practice!

Thank you to my clients, their families, Jackson County Schools, and the community for your support in making this a great first year!

This has been a whirlwind school year for Good Courage Counseling! I have been providing school based therapy in Jackson County Schools in addition to some in office sessions. In March I received the gift of the small bus you see in the pictures below. This was an incredibly generous gift from my mentor and friend, Beth Mullens Hughes, LCSW, RPT-S, CTT. Beth and the bus named "Ivy" served the southern counties of West Virginia throughout the pandemic. When Beth decided to retire from direct practice, she called and offered me the opportunity to adopt "Ivy" the bus. "Ivy" and I have already been making our rounds to school based clients and I can tell you she is a hit! I can't thank Beth enough for this gift to my practice, to my clients, and to the mission of support children's mental health in Jackson and surrounding counties!
