💚Celebrating three years of SIM making a difference in coordinating mental healthcare

This month marks the third anniversary of Andrews’ Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) program—a collaborative approach that helps people with mental health needs find care instead of entering the justice system.

SIM strengthens coordination between law enforcement, courts, hospitals, and community providers, identifying key moments where compassionate intervention can change the course of someone’s life. ⚖️👮‍♂️ 🚔 🚑 🏥

At its core, SIM is about meeting crisis with care and building safer pathways for individuals—and for our community. One such project underway is the creation of jail diversion center in Tyler to provide a destination for those with mental health needs find the right kind of help outside of incarceration or in crowded local emergency centers.

“SIM is about changing outcomes by changing how we respond—together. Every partnership strengthens the safety net for our community," says Keisha Morris, Chief SIM Officer, Andrews Behavioral Health

A beautiful example of generosity in action 💚

A heartfelt thank you to Anne Cozart, Andrews Human Resources Director, for donating these precious dresses to the Sweetie Pie Dance Mentoring Club. Gifts like these do far more than fill a closet — they help build confidence, spark joy, and remind young dancers that they are seen and valued.

Featured in this photo displaying the clothing is Alva Borens, the passionate leader of Sweetie Pie Dance, which provides dance opportunities for children who might not otherwise be able to afford lessons. (Alva sent us this information so we could celebrate Anne's generosity. Anne has no idea that we are posting this. So, surprise, Anne! Hope you like the inset photo we found on LinkedIn!)

Sweetie Pie Dance teaches a variety of techniques with workshops, Girls’ Day Out activities, and community service experiences designed to nurture skill ... and self-esteem.

Andrews team members live our mission not only professionally, but personally. We care deeply about the well-being of our communities and strive to support the whole person — young and old, from all walks of life — in ways that help make life a little brighter and a little better.

💚 Employee of the Month: Welby Jordan 💚

At Andrews Behavioral Health, our mission doesn’t stop when the clock does — and Welby Jordan exemplifies that every day.

Welby has been recognized as Employee of the Month for consistently going above and beyond in her role as a Crisis Specialist.

She voluntarily takes on-call assignments, ensuring seamless handoffs for clients experiencing crisis during off hours. In moments when continuity of care matters most, Welby steps in to make sure no one falls through the cracks.

Her commitment doesn’t end there. Welby takes the time to check in with her teammates, encouraging comprehensive self-care in a role that can be both demanding and emotionally intense. She understands that supporting one another strengthens the care we provide to our community.

On multiple occasions, Welby has remained on-site beyond her scheduled shift to ensure every individual involved in a crisis received a thorough assessment and clear connections to appropriate services. She embodies the spirit of the Mobile Crisis Outreach Team and the overall Andrews commitment to client well-being.

Welby’s dedication, teamwork, and compassion reflect the very heart of who we are.

Please join us in congratulating Welby on this well-deserved recognition! 💚

💚 Acts of Kindness Come in Many Forms 💚

This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating a beautiful example of compassion in action.

One of our own, Kathy Dean (Andrews Purchasing, Fleet & Facility Manager) spent time with her lovely granddaughters hand-making 126 Valentines for KVNE to share with seniors in assisted living centers and children in hospitals. Each card was created with care, encouragement, and the love of Jesus, Kathy said.

Small gestures can carry enormous meaning — a reminder that kindness has the power to brighten someone’s entire day.

Thank you, Kathy, for spreading warmth and joy in our East Texas community. ❤️

❤️ Love is all around: A Valentine’s reminder for every kind of love

Valentine’s Day often focuses on romance—but love shows up in many meaningful ways.

Love looks like appreciating family.
It looks like kindness toward seniors who may feel forgotten.
It looks like gratitude for our pets.
It looks like telling a friend, “You matter to me.”

As a familiar message (familiar to those of us old enough to remember The Mary Tyler Moore Show) reminds us: “Love is all around—no need to waste it.”

This week, Andrews team members are sharing one genuine but random act of kindness each day—for coworkers, clients, neighbors, anyone.

Join us wherever you are in making this happen in your home, workplace, or community. Let’s make love a movement. 💚

🖤Celebrating Black History Month 💚

This Black History Month, we at Andrews recognize African American pioneers whose work transformed how mental health is understood, studied, and delivered—often in the face of significant barriers.

Leaders such as Solomon Carter Fuller, an early psychiatrist and Alzheimer’s researcher; Mamie Phipps Clark, whose work affirmed the deep connection between mental health and human dignity; and Maxie Clarence Maultsby Jr., a pioneering psychiatrist in cognitive and behavioral approaches, are just a few who helped expand access to care and challenged the systems that limited it. ⭐

Their legacies continue to guide mental health professionals today—reminding us that progress in care is inseparable from equity, compassion, and respect for the whole person.

Hope today brought a steady step forward for you — however small it may have felt at the time. It's about moving ahead on the journey that's specifically our own. 💚

Perhaps, third time will be the charm ....

Have you noticed how the ice background for this post was dark and frozen on Monday? Yesterday it was much lighter and less solid. Today it's kind of melty. We are deep at Andrews ... lol. Stay warm and safe, friends!

01/27/2026

Out of an abundance of caution and concern for our clients and team members, Andrews clinics will remain closed on Tuesday, January 27.

Our team will be working remotely and will provide services online for as many clients as possible throughout the day.
With area schools remaining closed, child care is also a challenge for many of our team members. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to prioritize safety while supporting those we serve. 💚
