🌿💛 Breaking Barriers, Building Hope 💛🌿
At Hope Counseling Center, our mission goes beyond providing quality, affordable counseling. Our goal is to make mental health care accessible for everyone in and around the Branson community, and just as importantly, to break the stigma that too often keeps people from seeking help.
We believe conversations about mental health should be as normal as talking about physical health. Every time we speak openly, offer support, or share our stories, we chip away at shame and make space for healing. 🌼
Let’s keep the conversation going, with compassion, honesty, and hope. Together, we can build a community where no one feels alone in their struggles. 💚

💛🌿 Happy World Kindness Day! 🌿💛
Today is a beautiful reminder that even the smallest act of kindness can create ripples of hope and healing. A smile, a listening ear, or a few gentle words can make a world of difference; you never know whose day (or heart) you might change. 💚
At Hope Counseling Center, we believe kindness is one of the most powerful tools for connection and mental well-being. When we lead with compassion, toward others and ourselves, we make our community a softer, safer place to land.
✨ Be kind to others.
✨ Be kind to yourself.
✨ Let kindness be contagious.

💛 Improved Emotional Awareness, A Core Benefit of Children’s Therapy 💛
When children can understand and express their emotions, everything changes. 🌿
Through therapy, kids learn to recognize their feelings, cope with challenges in healthy ways, and communicate more effectively, at home, at school, and with friends. These skills help reduce anxiety, manage stress, and build stronger relationships that last well beyond childhood.
Emotional awareness is more than a coping skill; it’s the foundation for lifelong growth, confidence, and connection. 💚

🌿💛 Today is Stress Awareness Day 💛🌿
Stress is a normal part of life, but when it builds up, it can take a toll on our mind and body. Today’s a reminder to pause, check in with yourself, and give your nervous system a little care.
A few gentle ways to reduce stress:
🌤️ Take three slow, deep breaths
🚶 Get outside, even for a few minutes
🗓️ Say “no” to one thing that’s stretching you too thin
💬 Talk it out, with a friend, loved one, or counselor
You don’t have to carry it all alone. Small, intentional steps toward calm can make a big difference. 💚

🌤️💛 | Combating the Winter Blues 💛🌤️
With daylight saving time behind us and shorter days ahead, many people notice their mood or energy start to dip, a sign of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or the “winter blues.”
Here are a few ways to support your mental health as the seasons change:
☀️ Seek sunlight – Open your blinds, bundle up for a morning walk, or sit near a window. Even a little light helps.
🏃♀️ Move your body – Physical activity boosts serotonin and energy levels, helping balance your mood.
🕯️ Keep a routine – Consistent sleep, meals, and social time help regulate your body and mind.
💬 Stay connected – Isolation can worsen symptoms; reach out to friends, family, or a counselor for support.
🌿 Consider therapy or light therapy – Both can make a big difference if winter months feel especially heavy.
You don’t have to push through the darkness alone, there’s always hope, even on the cloudiest days. 💚

Faith Community Health (FAiTH) is a Christian faith-based charitable clinic providing medical, vision, mental health and prescription services at affordable income-based rates. Our services are available to our neighbors living or working in Ozark Mountain Country, including all of Taney and Stone counties. Sharing God’s love through whole person care is the heartbeat of what we do. It’s our mission to provide access to affordable healthcare for the under-served who live or work in our community.
Registration to demonstrate financial need is necessary for income-based assistance. Our patients pay a portion of the cost of their care, ensuring that they have a personal commitment to improving their own health. We offer classes designed to promote wellness of spirit, mind and body for our clients, helping them learn how to enjoy healthier lifestyles.
In addition to primary care, FAiTH offers a full service medication office five days a week to meet the pharmaceutical needs of our patients. Patients have access to all of their prescription needs for a simple $10 monthly administrative fee. Prescriptions may be filled at area pharmacies if patients prefer or if we are unable to supply a particular need. We do not dispense narcotics.
Same day urgent care visits are available with KwikCare for just $75 or less. Patients may be seen in person or via KwikCare Online in our clinic. Services include treatment for colds and flu, stomach viruses, allergies, strep throat, urinary tract infections, bug bites, bee stings, minor cuts and burns, strains and sprains.
Our patients also have access to vision care services that offer income-based exam fees and low, affordable prices for eye wear, saving our patients hundreds of dollars.
FaithCare is an employer-based healthcare benefit program that provides a solution to area employers for the medical and vision needs of their uninsured workforce. With monthly subscription plans beginning at $29/month for employers and $10 appointment fees for members, FaithCare is an innovative solution to offer direct primary healthcare services for uninsured employees. FaithCare helps businesses improve employee recruitment and retention, equipping them to better respond to labor pressures in a growing economy.
FAiTH is making a big impact in the lives of thousands of hardworking people and their families in our community. We serve hundreds of patients with chronic medical needs like Diabetes, COPD, high blood pressure and cardiac disease. Without our assistance, most of these patients would be unable to obtain the medicines and healthcare needed for them to remain healthy and provide for their families.
Research demonstrates that Faith Community Health creates over $600,000 annually in savings for local hospitals. FAiTH partners with Dispensary of Hope for access to pharmaceuticals for our patients. A comprehensive Dispensary of Hope study showed that charitable clinics like ours offering prescriptions to patients who otherwise could not afford them reduce inpatient admissions by more than half. Emergency department visits decrease by more than 35%, with cost savings greater than 40%. Because most of our patients have no health insurance, hospital care often creates an impossible burden for their families.
We create value. Faith Community Health saves the families of our patients millions of dollars each year while helping them improve their health. Branson area businesses benefit from a healthier workforce with less missed work days and employees who are enabled to provide superior guest services consistently. Cox Medical Center Branson is able to refer patients with limited ability to pay for services to FAiTH to ensure that their ongoing medical needs are met, reducing preventable hospital admissions and ER visits. And the impact of hundreds, perhaps thousands of patients having the resources they need to remain healthy and in the workforce, supporting their families rather than growing dependent on others, is incalculable.
Faith Community Health provides a 10 to 1 return on investment. In other words, the value we provide to our community is 10 times greater than the cost of our operations, thanks to partnerships with organizations like Dispensary of Hope, Direct Relief, AmeriCares, UMKC at MSU School of Pharmacy, the Skaggs Foundation, drug manufacturers, Ozarks Family Vision Centre and CoxHealth.
How do we do this when patient fees cover only a portion of the cost of care? We are dependent on the generous donations of businesses, churches and families who recognize the value of our work and care about the well-being of their friends and neighbors. Without you, Faith Community Health would not be able to bring hope to the more than 6,000 patients we have served. You make a huge difference in the lives of many families. Thank you for caring. May God bless you!
