September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month—a time to raise awareness, promote hope, and normalize help-seeking. Suicide affects millions of people every year, yet too many struggle in silence. Whether you’re facing challenges, supporting a friend or loved one, or are looking to help, your voice matters.
Youth Suicide Warning Signs
· Expressing hopelessness about the future.
· Displaying severe or overwhelming emotional pain or distress.
· Increased physical symptoms—such as fatigue, headaches, and stomachaches—commonly associated with emotional distress.
· Changing or withdrawing from social connections or situations.
· Changes in sleep (increased or decreased).
· Anger or hostility that seems out of character or out of context.
· Recent increased agitation or irritability.

The Myatt Dance Party was one for the books! A huge THANK YOU to Jason Helton with Velocity Mixing Entertainment & Lighting for keeping the energy high and the music flowing at our dance party! Your DJ skills truly made the day unforgettable.
We also want to give a big shoutout to the El Campo Ricebird cheerleaders, Derby Dolls, and student athletes for joining us and showing up in such a fun and supportive way. Your presence made the younger kids’ day extra special, and it was amazing to see everyone dancing and having such a great time together.
