Show Us Your “Mo”stache for Movember!

Movember is all about raising awareness for men’s health including mental health. Growing a “Mo”stache is more than a style choice. It is a conversation starter that can save lives.

Share your “Mo”stache with us in the comments or tag us in your photo! Let us spark conversations about mental health and remind the men in our lives that it is okay to ask for help.

Together we can make a difference.

💙 Community Support Spotlight 💙

We’re incredibly grateful to Ruth Ann Dannenbring and the General Federation of Women’s Club (GFWC) Yankton for their generous donation in support of LCBHS client activities.

Ruth Ann recently presented a check on behalf of GFWC Yankton, helping us continue to provide meaningful, engaging opportunities for those we serve. These kinds of contributions directly impact the well-being and recovery journeys of our clients. We couldn’t do it without community partners like you.

Thank you for investing in hope, healing, and connection.

💬 Let’s break the stigma.
Let’s normalize asking for help.
Let’s remind the men in our lives: you don’t have to go it alone.

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Ryan Myers 🌟

Meet Ryan, one of our dedicated Youth & Family Counselors here at LCBHS. Ryan provides outpatient therapy to children, teens, and families - and also plays a key role in mentoring the next generation of social workers by supervising our interns.

Why is mental health important to you?

“Mental health is important to me because our perception of the world and ourselves is so directly related to the understanding of our own inner power. Empowering clients and families to reach their innate potentials is my passion.”

We’re grateful for Ryan’s insight, compassion, and commitment to helping others grow. 💙

🎃 Our Youth & Family team had a blast at Stewart Elementary’s Trunk or Treat last Monday night! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello and celebrate the season with us.

Stewart Elementary’s annual Trunk or Treat, held this year on Monday, October 27, brought together families, students, and community organizations for a fun and safe Halloween celebration. The school grounds were transformed into a festive trail of decorated trunks, costumes, and candy galore.

Our Youth & Family Services staff joined the fun with a themed trunk and plenty of treats, connecting with families and sharing smiles throughout the evening. Events like these are a great reminder of the power of community - and we’re proud to be part of it.

🧡 Thank you to Stewart Elementary for hosting such a joyful event!

📍 LCBHS Outreach: A Legacy of Local Support

For decades, Lewis & Clark Behavioral Health Services has brought mental health care directly to communities across southeastern South Dakota. Our outreach clinics have served Wagner, Armour, Parkston, Elk Point, and Alcester - each one part of our mission to make care accessible and personal.

Today, we continue that tradition with active sites in Vermillion and Lake Andes, offering local support where it’s needed most. Whether past or present, every community we've served is part of our story - and we’re grateful for the trust and
connection built along the way.
