💙 October is Depression Awareness Month 💙

At CRCC, we’re committed to supporting mental wellness in our community. Depression affects millions, but no one has to face it alone.

🧠 Mental Health Tip:
Take 10 minutes each day to check in with yourself. Journaling, deep breathing, or simply sitting quietly can help you recognize your emotions and reduce stress.

If you or someone you know is struggling, CRCC is here to help. Reach out — support is just a call away.

🎉 Celebrating 29 Years of Dedication! 🎉

After nearly three decades of incredible service, we are honored to celebrate the retirement of Jeff Reynolds! For 29 years, he has been a cornerstone of our team — leading with integrity, inspiring others, and making a lasting impact every step of the way.

From mentoring countless new staff to always having a joke on hand. Jeff has left a legacy that will be felt for years to come. His dedication, warmth, and humor have made our workplace brighter every single day.

While we’ll miss him dearly, we’re excited for all the adventures that lie ahead in his next chapter.

Please join us in wishing Jeff all the best in this exciting new chapter. You’ve earned every moment of it! 💐✨
