A lot of what makes our Qualified Residential Treatment Program (QRTP) homes feel like a real home are the everyday moments. Our QRTPs are small, family-style homes for teens in foster care, where they can receive support and engage with positive adult role models.

Using the Teaching-Family Model, trained professionals called Teaching Parents live onsite and offer guidance and positive reinforcement through shared meals, chore charts, and teaching the teens to cook and do their own laundry. In addition to forming meaningful connections, the teens are learning real-life skills that set them up for future success.

At Methodist Family Health, we believe healing can happen when young people feel safe, capable, and cared for.

As we continue expanding services in Northeast Arkansas, we are excited for opportunities to connect with the local business community.

On a recent break from their year-round school schedule, the teen boys at our Magale Qualified Residential Treatment Program in Magnolia spent time tossing a football, shooting hoops, playing guitar, and even flying small drones. These chances to move and have fun help build confidence, strengthen relationships, and give these young people a healthy outlet to express themselves.

Many of the items that make fun like this possible (guitars, basketballs, footballs, drones, and other recreational equipment) come directly from generous community donations.

At Methodist Family Health, we see firsthand how meaningful it is when kids are given the chance to just be kids.

At Methodist Family Health, mental health and wellness are more than slogans to us. They guide how we care for the children and families we serve and how we care for each other. We believe you can’t pour from an empty cup. That’s why we make wellness part of our team culture.

Through our Be Well MFH annual wellness program, we encourage employees to focus on their own physical, emotional, financial, and social wellness all year long. This quarter, we're challenging team members to drink 64 ounces of water daily and to go outside at least 10 days a month for at least 15 minutes.

Small habits like getting outside and staying hydrated can have a real impact on mood, energy, and overall mental health. If you're looking for a workplace that truly practices what it preaches, we'd love to meet you!

Our final spotlight is on Dr. Mildred Barnes Griggs, an educator and leader whose career spanned academia, advocacy, and legal support for rural communities. She was also a nationally recognized leader in the field of home economics. Born in Marianna, Arkansas, she graduated from what is now the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff before earning graduate degrees, including a doctorate, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As faculty, she became the first African American at the university to advance from assistant professor through full professor and later became the first woman to be dean of a college at the university.

After retiring from academia, she earned a law degree and used her legal training to support Black farmers in Arkansas, helping them navigate land, loan, and insurance challenges. She also served in leadership roles in professional organizations and worked to strengthen educational research and outreach throughout her life.

Her commitment to education, advocacy, and access reflects the belief that strong families and communities begin with support, opportunity, and systems that work for the people they serve. Dr. Griggs passed away in 2025, leaving behind a lasting legacy in education and public service.
