:: A Quick Self-Care Moment

Mental Health Awareness Month

As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, remember that self-care doesn't have to be complicated. Therapist Amanda has a great recommendation:


"One small but powerful self-care moment is to step outside and soak up some sunshine for a few minutes, a few times a day. Even if you can't go for a walk, a brief moment in the sun can uplift your mood and revitalize your energy."


Let's prioritize our well-being together, one sunny moment at a time!

CAPAversary Milestones

We're celebrating two significant staff milestones this spring!


Mindy Kissner, our Director of Family Support Services, celebrated her 23rd CAPAversary on April 17. Susan shared her memories of when our home visiting program was beginning. "With Mindy's help, it was a success from the start. It has grown each and every year, thriving under her leadership skills."


Susan Ruddell, our Manager of Administration, celebrates her 25th CAPAversary on May 17. Mindy said, "Susan is the most loyal and dedicated person I know! She is the load-bearing beam that supports CAPA. Without her, the structural integrity of CAPA would be compromised!"

Above are archive pictures of our two CAPA heroes: Mindy is on the left and Susan is on the right in both photos.
