In recent weeks, our community has been reminded—once again—of the seriousness of the mental health crisis facing our youth. Following the tragic loss of a local teenager, our CEO, Kimberly Ford was asked to share her thoughts as a mental health professional and a member of this community who deeply cares.

While time has passed, the impact remains. Moments like these call us to pause, reflect, and recommit to doing better—listening more closely, taking concerns seriously, and making space for honest conversations about mental health.

At Lighthouse, we believe awareness matters, access matters, and compassion matters. No one should feel they have to struggle alone, and help should never feel out of reach. Reaching out is not weakness—it is courage.

If you or someone you love is struggling, support is available. Connection can save lives.

📞 If you need immediate help, call or text 988, the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

Let this be a reminder to check in, speak up, and care for one another!

🚨 WINTER STORM ALERT 🚨

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is closely monitoring a significant winter storm expected to impact our area this weekend.

🌨 Forecasts have called for 12–18 inches of snow, with snowfall rates of 1–2 inches per hour at times. Current tracks show 8-14 inches. We will also be dealing with bitter cold, with lows of 0 degrees. These conditions could make travel extremely dangerous and impact emergency response times.

⚠️ Please take this storm seriously and prepare now:
• Avoid travel unless absolutely necessary
• Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle
• Dress in warm layers and limit time outdoors
• Prepare for possible power outages
• Check on elderly neighbors and those in need
• Stay informed through trusted weather updates

🚓 Our deputies will be on duty, but your safety starts with preparation. If you don’t have to be on the roads, please stay home and allow crews to do their jobs safely.

Stay prepared. Stay alert. Stay safe.

🎃✨ At Lighthouse Counseling, we believe in carving out the negatives to make room for the positives! Yesterday, our clients joined us for a pumpkin carving session where we not only created some spook-tacular designs but also took the time to carve away those negative emotions.

It was a fantastic way to express ourselves, bond with one another, and embrace the spirit of Halloween! 🧡💚 Together, we’re lighting the way to brighter days.
