This month, Family Ties is helping raise awareness about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) — a mental health condition that can cause unwanted, repeated thoughts (called obsessions) and repetitive actions or habits (called compulsions).
OCD is about trying to manage strong worries or fears. These thoughts and actions can be hard to control, but with help and support, people with OCD can feel better. At Family Ties, we believe that understanding brings kindness.
When we learn more about OCD, we can help reduce stigma and support individuals and families on their path toward healing and hope.
To learn more about OCD, visit:

Este mes, Family Ties ayuda a crear conciencia sobre el Trastorno Obsesivo-Compulsivo (TOC) — una condición de salud mental que puede causar pensamientos no deseados y repetitivos (llamados obsesiones) y acciones o hábitos repetitivos (llamados compulsiones).
El TOC se trata de intentar manejar preocupaciones o miedos intensos. Estos pensamientos y acciones pueden ser difíciles de controlar, pero con ayuda y apoyo, las personas con TOC pueden sentirse mejor. En Family Ties creemos que la comprensión genera amabilidad.
Cuando aprendemos más sobre el TOC, podemos ayudar a reducir el estigma y apoyar a las personas y familias en su camino hacia la sanación y la esperanza.

October is Depression Awareness Month. At Family Ties, we want to share the 3 C’s that can help build emotional awareness and resilience:
1. Catch – Notice your negative or hurtful thoughts or emotions.
2. Check – Pause and ask yourself, “Is this thought true or helpful?”
3. Change – Replace unhelpful thoughts with ones that are helpful, realistic, and encouraging.

Steps like these can make a big difference for our mental health. Remember — awareness is the first step toward healing.
If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, support is available:
🔗 National Institute of Mental Health: Depression Resources
📞 Call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
📱 Or contact Family Ties 24/7 at 936-931-2299


Octubre es el Mes de la Concientización sobre la Depresión. En Family Ties, queremos compartir las 3 C’s que pueden ayudar a fortalecer la conciencia emocional y la resiliencia:
1. Captar – Nota tus pensamientos o emociones negativas o dolorosas.
2. Comprobar – Haz una pausa y pregúntate: “¿Es este pensamiento verdadero o útil?”
3. Cambiar – Sustituye los pensamientos poco útiles por otros que sean realistas, positivos y alentadores.

Pasos como estos pueden marcar una gran diferencia en nuestra salud mental.
Recuerda — la conciencia es el primer paso hacia la sanación.
