Embracing the Halloween spirit can be a delightful way to practice self-care and support your mental health. As the season brings cooler weather and shorter days, it provides an ideal opportunity to focus on yourself and indulge in activities that promote well-being.

Did you know that the state of Alabama requires all prospective adoptive parents to complete a home study (also known as a suitability study)? As an LICSW, I am qualified to complete them. I'm passionate about helping parents' dreams come true. So, if you or someone you know feels called to adopt, DM me "Homestudy" for more information and let me help you (or your loved one) on this journey to parenthood.

Right now, some of the families we serve are at risk of experiencing gaps in food assistance. To help ease that burden, we are currently collecting grocery store gift cards to share with our clients in need. Whether it is a new client we're seeing for the first time or a family who has come for a while, we always want to ensure they have resources to meet their needs... because children and families can't heal while they're hungry.

Gift cards from Walmart, Johnsons, or Aldi are especially helpful, as they allow families to choose the items that best meet their children’s needs and all have locations around Etowah County. Unfortunately due to space limitations, we are unable to collect canned goods or other food items to distribute to clients.

Every contribution makes a difference in providing comfort, dignity, and nourishment for the children and families we serve. 💙

If you’d like to help, please drop off or mail gift cards to:
📍 James M. Barrie Center for Children - 605 S. 4th Street, Gadsden, AL 35901

At The Lovelady Center, we believe the most important thing we can ever do is this: LOVE WELL. 1 John 4:19 tells us, “we love because He first loved us.”

Before we teach, train, or transform: we love.
Before healing happens: we love.
Through every story of struggle, every victory, every new beginning: we love.

Love is the reason so many women and children walk through our doors and leave transformed.

At Lovelady, we don’t do perfect, but we do strive every day to LOVE WELL. And that, we believe, is the heartbeat of what Jesus has us do.

We invite the community to love as He loves us: want to be involved in giving children a good Christmas this year and giving mothers the joy of giving to their children? Call Donna Smith at 256.570.8176 to get involved in this year's Santa Shop!

Did you know that in Alabama, supervision is required for both LBSW and LMSW social workers? I am passionate about furthering the social work profession through clinical social work supervision. I have openings available to supervise all licensure levels. With a wide range of both clinical and leadership experience, I can help you accomplish your goals of becoming an LICSW or just remaining in compliance with the state social work rules and regulations. Feel free to DM me "supervision" for more information.
