Thank you to our Family Recovery Coach, Farrah McCullough, for joining 97.3 WZBG this past Wednesday to talk openly about what many families experience during the holidays—stress, mixed emotions, and difficult feelings.

In this interview, Farrah shares practical guidance on honoring those emotions and using your values to set boundaries, find peace, and create space for moments of joy.

As the year comes to a close, every gift to McCall tells a story—of love, remembrance, and hope. 💜 Many people choose to give in honor of someone they care deeply about: a loved one who’s struggling, someone in recovery, or a life remembered. It’s a powerful way to turn compassion into action.

🎁 Looking for a meaningful last-minute gift? Make a donation to McCall’s 2025 Annual Appeal in someone’s name. It’s an unexpected gift that truly keeps giving—supporting recovery, wellness, and connection for individuals and families facing substance use or mental health challenges. https://hubs.la/Q03YD7WT0

Together, we’re opening doors to care for youth and families when they need it most. We thank The Cigna Group Foundation for their partnership and commitment to addressing the youth mental health crisis.

This time of year can be full of joy for some and feel heavy or overwhelming for others. Both can exist at the same time. It’s okay to enjoy the good moments while still making space for what’s been weighing on you. Wherever you are this season, your feelings are valid. 💚

McCall Family Recovery Coach Farrah McCullough will be joining WZBG tomorrow to share encouragement and practical tips for navigating the holiday season—especially for families supporting a loved one in recovery or struggling with their mental health.

📻 Listen to the interview live tomorrow at 8:20 a.m. on 97.3 WZBG or at https://hubs.la/Q03YpbyL0

Today is World AIDS Day — a day to remember those we’ve lost, raise awareness, and challenge the stigma that still surrounds HIV. ❤️

Living with HIV affects more than physical health; it can take a toll on mental wellness, strain relationships, and touch every part of daily life. At McCall, we know that behavioral health care is essential. Counseling, peer support, and compassionate care help individuals with HIV navigate these challenges and live full, connected lives.

Every step toward healing matters. At McCall, your unique health needs are always taken into account when developing treatment plans. Learn more at mccallbhn.org or call 860.496.2100 today.
