The transition after the holidays can bring unexpected emotional weight and ongoing stress. Connection is the first step to healing, especially when professional care is part of the journey. If post-holiday stress, anxiety, or overwhelm feels persistent, you do not have to carry it on your own.

Our team is here to listen, provide guidance, and help you take the next step toward stability and healing. Contact us today to learn more about professional support options and how we can help.

We’re grateful to Channel 3 KTBS for helping share the heart behind our Light the Longest Night candlelight vigil. On one of the longest nights of the year, we gathered to honor lives lost, acknowledge the heaviness this season can bring, and remind our community that support is always available.

This night was about presence, compassion, and connection. Riverview remains committed to showing up, listening, and helping light the way for anyone who may be struggling.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to walk alongside us as we serve our community.

TEXARKANA, Ark. – On one of the shortest days and longest nights of the year, Riverview Behavioral Health lights the darkness with a candlelight vigil.

On the longest night of the year, we gathered to bring light where it’s needed most. This evening was a moment to remember lives lost, hold space for grief, and remind anyone who may be struggling that they are not alone.

Light can be as simple as showing up, standing together, and choosing compassion. Riverview is here to listen, to support, and to help light the way forward.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our Warm Hands, Warm Hearts drive thru today. Your presence, smiles, and kind words meant more than you know.

This event was about more than giving out care packages. It was about showing our community that we care, that we are listening, and that we are committed to showing up in meaningful ways.

A special thank you to Randy Sam’s Shelter for allowing us to drop off gifts and extend this outreach even further.

We look forward to continuing community outreach efforts and creating more opportunities to connect, support, and serve. Riverview is here to help, and we are proud to be part of this community. 💙
