Last Friday, Smokey Point Behavioral Hospital was one of the resource tables at the Veterans Stand Down in Mt. Vernon! This impactful event brought together Veterans from Skagit County, allowing them to connect with one another and access crucial resources such as free haircuts, mobile dental services, food, clothing, and supplies.

We were thrilled to share information about our Military Intensive Outpatient Program, specifically designed to support the unique needs of active military and Veterans. Connecting with our Veterans and community partners who share the same mission of supporting those who have served is a privilege we cherish.

A huge thank you to all the Veterans, volunteers, and organizations that came together to make this event a success. Your strength, resilience, and commitment inspire us every day!

Spring is in the air, bringing longer days, blooming flowers, and the much-anticipated arrival of Spring Break! While these seasonal changes are often met with excitement, it’s important to recognize how they can also affect our mental health.

As nature awakens from its winter slumber, many of us experience a range of emotions. The increase in sunlight can uplift spirits, but for some, this time can also bring anxiety and pressure. The shift in routines during Spring Break may cause stress for families and individuals alike.

At Smokey Point Behavioral Hospital, we believe it’s essential to honor these varied experiences and offer support to those navigating their mental wellness during this season. Let’s remember to take time for self-care, check in with each other, and seek help if needed. Your mental health matters!

Let’s embrace the season of renewal, while also acknowledging how we can support one another in our journeys. 💚🌼
