Black History Month is more than a celebration, it’s a reminder.
A reminder of resilience.
A reminder of brilliance.
A reminder that Black history is American history.
From innovators and activists to artists, scholars, and everyday changemakers, generations before us paved the way with courage, creativity, and unwavering strength. Because of them, we rise. Because of them, we lead. Because of them, we dream bigger.
This month, we honor the legacy, celebrate the present, and invest in the future. Let’s continue to amplify Black voices, support Black businesses, educate ourselves, and walk boldly in purpose.
Black history is happening every day. 🖤❤️💛💚

As the seasons change, many people notice shifts in their mood, energy, and motivation. Shorter days and less sunlight can impact mental health in ways we don't always expect. If you've been feeling more tired, unmotivated, down, or disconnected lately, it may be more than "just a phase."
The good news? Support is available, and things can get better.
Therapy can provide a safe space to talk, learn coping strategies, and take steps toward feeling like yourself again.
You don't have to navigate this season alone.
17 Schedule an appointment with McCoy Counseling Center today.
Your mental health matters in every season.

Help needed 💙 Our Hospice House is running low on twin-size quilts and blankets.

When a family arrives, our staff places a quilt or blanket on each bed as a small but meaningful way to offer comfort during a difficult time. Right now, our shelves are getting low, and we never want a patient or family to go without that simple act of care.

You can help us restock in a few ways:
1️⃣ Donate new blankets or quilts — twin or twin XL sizes work best for our Hospice House beds. An Amazon wishlist has been created as well: https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/1X0TT58IDPNRR
2️⃣ Connect a quilting circle, church group, or ministry with Hospice of Southern Kentucky. They can call 270-746-9300 or 270-779-0633 and ask for Diane with any questions.
3️⃣ Share this post — you never know who it might reach.

Every quilt represents warmth, love, and compassion. Thank you for helping us continue to care for families when they need it most.
