I believe this is locally written and rather powerful. Continue to advocate my friends, keep fighting the good fight.

"Please God my parents will be nice to me, Leo"

If you've ever been to The Coming King Sculpture Prayer Gardens in Kerrville, you know that there are various rocks and materials to write prayers on.

On a recent trip, I saw this prayer and my heart dropped. This child is begging God for his parents to be nice to him. Makes any of our own problems seem a little smaller huh?

I don't know this child's situation. However, I do know that there are so many Leos in this world. Yes, even in your city. Yes, even in your neighborhood.

Again, I do not know this child's situation but I do know Leo is hurting. April was Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month, May is Foster Care Awareness Month. Every single person in Texas is a mandated reporter of child abuse.

So how do you take action?

-Learn the signs and how to report abuse. Children's Advocacy Center of Greater West Texas, Inc. has FREE classes about these topics.

-Learn more about foster care. Fostering Concho Valley Kids has so many organizations under their umbrella so you can find the right one that suits your family or situation.

-Become a certified babysitter so foster parents can have a break every now and then.

-Give money, toiletries, clothing, shoes, cribs, etc to places like Foster Closet of San Angelo.

-Get involved with youth programs and family support programs. For example, the Blackshear Heights Family organization has multiple initiatives going on to support healthy families year-round.

While I don't know the specifics of Leo's situation, something we can all do right here and now is pray for him and the other Leos in the world. Please join me in lifting them up.

Not Every Mention of Su***de Requires Hospitalization! As mental health professionals, it's critical that we respond to suicidal ideation with clinical judgment—not fear. Too often, hospitalization is treated as the default response to a client expressing thoughts of su***de. But research and ...

Day 10: I’ve been doing this a LONG time. 19 years to be specific and I’ve yet to find a social worker who isn’t resilient. Somehow it becomes engrained in our identity, and we’ve carried it with us for as long as we can remember.

Happy Golden Retriever Day my ladies. Mag is 12 and now retired from working, and Ginny is….well….seemingly retired on duty. But our office isn’t the same without her and it is noticed when she isn’t here.

Today we celebrate them both! 💗🫶🏻

We are beyond humbled by the nomination in the mental health category, much less to have won. The team of providers and staff in our office show up and go above and beyond every single day to meet the community's needs, and it shows.

Congrats to everyone who was nominated. Even if you weren't, keep showing up for mental health and substance abuse because we need everyone if we are going to make an impact. Here is to 2025 being our best year yet. 🫶🏻🩷

Navigating a child’s chronic illness like ulcerative colitis is challenging, especially with state insurance. While premiums may seem affordable, the hoops to access care—like needing a referral just to visit urgent care—can complicate an already stressful situation.

For one parent, the focus on finding the best care led them across the country to Cleveland Clinic. It’s a reminder that health care access isn’t just about coverage; it’s about the hurdles families face when trying to provide the best for their loved ones.

No one should have to fight this hard for urgent or specialized care. Health care systems should support families, not create additional barriers. 💬
