✨ 75+ organizations and service providers

🧡 Standing with our neighbors during National Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month 🧡

Today at our Andrews Behavioral Health board meeting, several of our team members wore orange in recognition of National Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. It’s a small gesture that reflects a very important message: every member of our community deserves dignity, opportunity, and support.

Intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are a group of conditions that begin during childhood and can affect learning, communication, behavior, and everyday living skills. People with IDD often benefit from specialized support, inclusive communities, and services that help them live full, meaningful lives.

At Andrews Behavioral Health, we are proud to serve individuals and families across East Texas who are navigating these challenges. Today’s orange was a reminder that awareness leads to understanding—and understanding leads to stronger, more compassionate communities.

Thank you to our team for showing your support. 💚

The Pre-Dental Society of UT Tyler hosted an East Texas Smiles event—right here at Tyler Learning Center (a program of Andrews Behavioral Health)—bringing fun, learning, and a lot of laughter to the kids we serve. Through a creative and interactive presentation, TLC children learned all about oral health, cavities, and even those pesky “sugar bugs!”

The Pre-Dental Society is dedicated to helping UT Tyler students become strong, competitive applicants for dental school through hands-on experiences, mentorship from practicing dentists, and meaningful volunteer opportunities like this one. Just as important, they’ve built a supportive community where students learn, grow, and serve together.

We’re grateful for their partnership and their heart for making a difference—one smile at a time. 💚

💚 People like Jessica bring our mission to life.

Congratulations to Jessica Gorham, Andrews’ March Employee of the Month!

As a case manager, Jessica always goes above and beyond in caring for our clients. For example, she helped a client who recently transitioned to a nursing facility after declining health. Recognizing the emotional toll of being separated from the client’s beloved dog, Jessica voluntarily coordinated weekly visits so the client could continue seeing her pet. This provided vital emotional support during a very difficult transition.

Jessica's compassion, creativity in problem-solving, and unwavering commitment to client care make her highly deserving of this recognition.

Our team is stronger because Jessica is part of it, and our clients are better served because she sees them as whole people, not diagnoses. Jessica's empathy, dedication, and willingness to go beyond expectations truly embody the spirit of Andrews Behavioral Health.

👏 Please join us in congratulating Jessica and thanking her for the difference she makes every day.

💚 Don’t let this happen to Becki!

This Friday the 13th, Andrews CEO Becki Mangum may face a terrible fate…

Hard time behind bars.

It seems the good folks at the Smith County Clubhouse are threatening to arrest her and lock her up unless a proper ransom is paid.

You can help secure Becki’s release by donating to the Smith County Clubhouse Jail & Bail Fundraiser. Just be sure to reference Becki in your message so the “bail money” goes toward her freedom.

👉 https://givebutter.com/2026-jail-bail-fundraiser-npxkbe

You can also arrange bail by calling the Smith County Clubhouse Tuesday–Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 903-630-3413 or 903-714-0811.

All joking aside, the Smith County Clubhouse does incredible work empowering adults living with mental illness. Their programs help members reduce isolation, build meaningful relationships, develop job skills, and move toward full and rewarding lives.

Your support helps make that possible.

And as an added bonus … you might just keep Becki out of the clink.

💚 URGENT: Help Us Keep Becki Out of Jail

Please help Andrews CEO Becki Mangum avoid serving time this Friday the 13th.

Yes… you read that correctly.

The Smith County Clubhouse is threatening to arrest her and lock her up — possibly for hours — unless a ransom is paid.

Why Becki? We’re not entirely sure.

Just last year Andrews received an award from the Clubhouse recognizing our support of their mission. That goodwill only lasts so long as incarceration is now on the table.

But there is still hope.

You can help secure Becki’s release by donating to the Smith County Clubhouse Jail & Bail Fundraiser and referencing Becki in your message so the “bail money” goes toward her freedom.

You can also arrange bail by calling the Smith County Clubhouse this Tuesday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 903-630-3413 or 903-714-0811.

In all seriousness, the Smith County Clubhouse does incredible work empowering adults living with mental illness. Their programs help members reduce isolation, build meaningful relationships, develop job skills, and move toward full and rewarding lives.

Your support helps make that possible. And — as an added bonus — it may keep Becki from doing hard time in the pokey.
