🌟 Happy Nurse Practitioner Week! 🌟

This week we’re celebrating all Nurse Practitioners but specifically our very own Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Megan! 💚

Megan’s dedication, compassion, and expertise shine through in everything she does. She’s not only an incredible provider, she truly cares about her patients (and staff), but she also takes her job and education very seriously— (for example she graduated Summa Cum Laude from her university! 🎓👏) and routinely attends conferences to further her knowledge base and continue learning the most up to date clinical practices!

We’re so proud to have her on our team and grateful for the care she provides to our patients every single day. 💫

Help us wish Megan a very happy NP Week! 💐

Well — it’s the last week of ADHD Awareness Month! 💙💛

ADHD shapes more than routines and schedules—it also shapes how we see ourselves, our relationships, and even our sense of purpose. For this last week of ADHD Awareness Month, let’s highlight the many ways people find strength, a sense of purpose, more meaningful connections, and understanding along that journey.

At our office, we want to end the month by busting myths and boosting support:
• ADHD isn’t a character flaw—it’s a neurodevelopmental condition.
• Women, girls, and adults are often underdiagnosed.
• Treatment is more than meds: skills, therapy, routines, lifestyle, and community matter.
• Strengths are real: creativity, hyperfocus, resilience, and big-picture thinking. ✨

If you’ve wondered whether your focus, forgetfulness, or overwhelm could be ADHD, this is your nudge. We offer evidence-based evaluations, treatment planning, and practical tools for home, school, and work.

You’re not “too late,” and you’re definitely not alone. Let’s turn awareness into action. 💬

Postponed to later in the week!

Weather Update 3:30 PM – Halloween Commons

Unfortunately, the weather has taken a turn. The storm cell moving through our area has grown in size, meaning rain will last longer than expected. Because of this, we will not be able to hold Halloween Commons today.

We are postponing the event to later this coming week, which could be as early as Monday afternoon, depending on how the forecast develops. With rain still showing up in several upcoming days, we’ll need to carefully choose the best window for everyone’s safety and enjoyment.

City officials will meet Monday morning to review the latest weather updates and determine the new date and time for Halloween Commons. Disregard the date and time listed on the event page, we didn't want to lose the event page by letting the date pass.

We’re so sorry for any confusion or delay — Mother Nature just isn’t playing nice today! Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to make sure our community can still enjoy a fun, safe, and candy-filled Halloween Commons! 🎃

12:00 update!

3:30 PM UPDATE;
PLEASE SEE THE NEW POST ON OUR FB PAGE. THIS EVENT WILL BE POSTPONED TO ANOTHER DATE.

12:00 UPDATE:
Good news! The weather is clearing up this afternoon, we hope, and Halloween Commons 2025 is on for this afternoon, just later than planned!

Gates open at 4:45 PM, and the Costume Contest kicks off at 5:30 PM. Come enjoy tons of kid-friendly activities, games, face painting, temporary tattoos, candy, and so much more. We’ll wrap up around 7:45 PM, so bring the whole family for a fun, safe, and festive evening.

See you at Crosby Commons, 801 Goodyear Blvd., Picayune—let’s make this a spooktacular event!

IMPORTANT UPDATE. PLEASE SHARE:
We’re continuing to monitor the weather closely for Halloween Commons today. Current forecasts are showing the potential for severe weather around the time we’re scheduled to start, with a short break later this afternoon before more rain moves in.

As we all know, Mother Nature can be unpredictable—it could pass quickly, or it could linger longer than expected. To help everyone plan, we will make an official decision at 12:00 PM today on whether to postpone Halloween Commons, and if so, announce the new date and time.

Please keep in mind that, depending on how the weather develops, the new date announced at noon could still change. There’s a strong chance of rain tomorrow, and even some rain possible on Monday, though that forecast may improve.

We’ll continue to post updates here on our page (cityhallofpicayune) as soon as decisions are made. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work around the weather to make sure everyone stays safe and still gets to enjoy a great Halloween Commons! 🎃

🌍💚 Today is World Mental Health Day 💚🌍

Mental health is health — and it deserves the same compassion, care, and attention as any physical condition.
This year’s theme is about “Mental health as a universal human right.” Everyone deserves access to support, understanding, and a safe space to heal.

At our office, we believe that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Whether you’re managing anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, or just feeling overwhelmed by life — you are not alone. 💬

Let’s work together to end the stigma and start more honest conversations about mental health.
Take a moment today to check in with yourself and the people you care about. ❤️

🧠💚 Your mental health matters. Every day.

📱 We live in a fast-paced, “microwave” society where instant results have become the norm. Everyone wants things fast — Instant meals, instant answers, instant gratification. But the problem is… our kids’ brains aren’t built for “instant”. Unfortunately, that mindset is shaping how our children grow and cope, affecting their mental and emotional development.

More and more kids are struggling with behavioral and emotional challenges, and one major reason is how early they’re being exposed to technology and social media. Their developing brains are being overstimulated before they’ve had a chance to build patience, social skills, and emotional regulation.

Children don’t need the pressure of likes, filters, and constant comparison. They need time to play, explore, get bored, and connect in real life.

As parents and caregivers, we can help by setting boundaries around screen time, delaying social media access, and modeling balance ourselves. Slowing down isn’t easy in a fast-paced world—but it’s one of the best gifts we can give our kids.

Let’s bring back slow moments, real talks, and simple joys. Our kids will thank us later. 💙
