At STR, we guide you in developing the skills and awareness needed for lasting, meaningful change—creating space for healthier choices, stronger connections, and a more balanced life. What are you ready to let go of this spring?

This Women’s History Month, we’re honoring Betty Ford for her courage and advocacy in bringing national attention to addiction and recovery. By speaking openly about her own experiences, she helped break stigma and encourage more compassionate conversations around substance use and mental health.

Women like Betty Ford have played a vital role in advancing breakthroughs in behavioral health, using their voices, leadership, and lived experiences to inspire change and expand access to care.

Her legacy continues to encourage awareness, understanding, and hope for those on the path to recovery.

Self-love starts with intention.

Take a moment to pause and focus on what you can control—your thoughts, your boundaries, and the care you give yourself. Small, mindful choices can make a meaningful difference in your emotional well-being.

Practice self-compassion, honor your needs, and prioritize yourself—because your well-being matters.

When someone struggles to stop using alcohol or drugs — even when they want to — it’s often about more than willpower. Both the body and mind can develop dependence in different ways, and understanding the difference can be a powerful first step toward healing.

At STR Behavioral Health, our clinical team works with individuals facing both physiological and psychological dependence every day. With the right support, recovery is possible.

Learn more about the differences — and how treatment can help — in our latest blog. ⬇️

For Black History Month, STR honors E. Kitch Childs, one of the many incredible Black leaders whose work has helped shape education, culture, and historical understanding.

Through her leadership, scholarship, and advocacy, Childs elevated Black voices, preserved African American history, and pushed for greater inclusion and representation. Her impact reminds us how essential it is to recognize and value Black contributions—not just this month, but every month.

At STR, we remain committed to learning, listening, and honoring the leaders and voices who continue to inspire progress and equity.

As the seasons change, many people experience shifts in mood or energy — often related to seasonal affective disorder (SAD). At STR Behavioral Health, we encourage small, intentional steps that can make a big difference:

• Get natural sunlight or use a light therapy lamp
• Stay active and maintain a consistent routine
• Connect regularly with friends or loved ones
• Seek professional support if symptoms persist

Brighter days are ahead, and help is always available.
