Methodist Family Health

July is Social Wellness Month. Positive relationships can play an important role in emotional well-being. Whether it's family, friends, teachers, mentors, or trusted adults, supportive connections can help children and teens feel seen and understood.

Building healthy relationships is just one of the many ways we can support mental wellness at every stage of life.

Happy Fourth of July weekend! Staff at our Methodist Children's Home campus in Little Rock enjoyed a cookout earlier this week to celebrate.
HUGE kudos and many thanks to our Environment of Care team for grilling 🍔🌭🍗

Friends, we hope you have a happy and safe holiday!

Our business development team was excited to be at the Arkansas School Counselor Association Conference, connecting with the professionals who help students navigate life’s challenges and access the support they need. Together, we can break down barriers to mental health care, build resilience, and ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive.

Congratulations to our door prize winner, Yolanda Shelton from LRSD’s Forrest Heights Stem!
