December's TIC Tip of the Month is provided by Lauren Hargrove.

2025 Year in Review

This is the time of year that we start to see all the Year in review lists coming up everywhere.

Here is ours….simply
WE MADE IT!

Yes, there are things that did not go as expected. Yes, there are things that we did not like. Yes, there are times we were not sure we were going to make it through….
BUT WE MADE IT!

How about instead of looking back with regret, frustration, and fatigue we look at our opportunities going into next year because WE MADE IT!

The HFC TIC team wishes you a wonderful holiday season and hoping for all to have opportunities for growth, healing, and fun in the coming year!”

HFC's Lauren Hargrove, Mental Health Program Supervisor in Wichita Falls, had the great pleasure of visiting P.E.T.S. Clinic to discuss the importance of mental health with their staff.

"It was a great time meeting with the staff and talking about mental health awareness. I also learned so much about this organization that gave me a new respect for the work they do!" - Lauren

Winter blues got you down?

If you're experiencing symptoms of sadness, low energy, changes in sleep (oversleeping) and appetite (carbohydrate cravings), social withdrawal, and difficulty concentrating, beyond typical "winter blues", you may actually be experiencing SAD.

What is SAD?

SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is a form of depression tied to the changing seasons, most commonly winter, due to less sunlight affecting brain chemistry and circadian rhythms.
