💗 International Day of Acceptance — January 20 💗

Everyone deserves to feel accepted for who they are. Today, we honor the power of kindness, acceptance, and belonging — and stand in support of individuals and families living with disabilities.

At BHRS, we remain committed to creating inclusive, supportive spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered. Together, we can continue building a community rooted in compassion and respect.

💬✨ No Name-Calling Week | Jan 19–23

Words matter. Kindness protects mental health. đź’™

Bullying can impact confidence, emotional well-being, and long-term mental health. Together, we can help create safer, more supportive spaces for everyone.

Here are 3 ways you can help stop bullying:
🛑 Respect — Use kind, inclusive language
🤝 Support — Stand with those being targeted
🛡️ Protect — Speak up when you see harm

Small actions make a big difference. Let’s choose empathy, compassion, and connection.

On January 5th, we proudly celebrated another young person graduating from our Juvenile Behavioral Health Court Program!

JBHC represents the power of collaboration—bringing together the Court, Probation, Behavioral Health, the District Attorney’s Office, and the Public Defender’s Office to ensure youth are met not only with accountability, but with compassion, treatment, and the tools needed to create lasting change.

Congratulations to the graduate—this is just the beginning. Best of luck as you continue moving forward toward a bright future!
