Today, our main office was filled with laughter, creativity, and community as we hosted a spooktacular party for the people we serve and our amazing staff.

A changed heart

At Artesian Homes, we see every day how mental health deeply affects the lives of our residents. Many of those we serve face a variety of challenges - overcoming these challenges requires compassion, connection, and dedicated support. Our goal is to foster a safe, empowering home in which the residents feel respected, valued, and heard.
This is why, on World Mental Health Day and any other day, we have a high commitment to our team’s well-being—we strive to make mental health a priority. We encourage all team members (and anyone reading this now) to reach out, take breaks, and support one another openly and compassionately.
Below are links to some resources including tips for when you are feeling overwhelmed, ways to manage doom scrolling, and last but not least, affirmation cards! All from the Mental Health Foundation site.

This past week, our leadership team had the amazing opportunity to attend a three-day Leadership Conference. We’re proud to invest in the growth and development of our leaders so they can continue to inspire, empower, and support our staff and residents each day.

Artesian Homes hopes this conference brought on insightful sessions, meaningful discussions, and plenty of moments that sparked new ideas and collaboration for our amazing leaders. After the conference wrapped up, the team enjoyed some well-deserved time together—sharing laughter and connection.

We’re grateful for their dedication and excited to see how this experience will continue to strengthen our mission and culture moving forward!

Thank you, Nichole, for providing these photos!
