What is Bullying?
Types of bullying:
Recently our area was hit by tornadic weather that resulted in a loss of lives, and damaged property that will change the landscape for many years to come. Those involved gathered together to help each other through, clean up debris and begin the process of re-building. With all of this, a sense of community resulted. Some time has passed and those who have experienced, witnessed and even responded to the community, are now getting anxious at the approach of future weather related issues.
How can you tell if your child is sad, going through a phase or depressed?

Alcohol. As Americans we see it advertised in one form or another on TV at home, on billboards driving down the highway, in magazines in the doctor's office, on the radio at the mall, and in many other places. Alcohol use is generally widely accepted by our society as a common part of recreational and social events.

Recovery is a demanding journey, but the detoxification process showcases the human body and mind's exceptional ability to heal, adapt, and recover from the harmful effects of substance abuse. Detox, the process of allowing your body to rid itself of harmful substances, is a crucial step towards recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. While it can be a daunting and challenging experience, both physically and emotionally, supporting yourself through detox is essential to ensure a safe, successful, and sustainable recovery.
