🇺🇸 Last weekend, we had the incredible opportunity to attend the “Battle of the Branches” event hosted by Decision Tactical! It was a fantastic day filled with camaraderie, competition, and community spirit. The highlights of the event included fun with radio-controlled tanks that captured everyone's attention and activities for the entire family. Both Veterans and civilians came together to enjoy the day! Thank you to everyone who participated in and supported our Veterans. Together, we foster connections and celebrate the spirit of service! #HopeWithinReach #MilitaryFamilies #SupportOurTroops #BattleOfTheBranches

We were honored to co-sponsor "An Evening of Dinner and Discussion, alongside LiveWell Behavioral Health and Palm Point Behavioral Health. This special autumn gathering brought together physicians and practitioners for a delicious harvest dinner and an engaging, informative conversation led by Dr. Mike Ronsisvalle, CEO of LiveWell Behavioral Health. Events like these are an important part of fostering collaboration and connection within the mental health community. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so memorable! #MentalHealthMatters #HopeWithinReach #Collaboration

Last month, La Amistad Behavioral Health Services proudly became a member of the American Residential Treatment Association (ARTA), a network of 28 leading facilities dedicated to exceptional care for adults and adolescents with mental health issues. To mark this milestone, our Chief Operating Officer, Brian Sellers, LCSW, and Director of Business Development, Ashley DeRazza, MA, traveled to Massachusetts for ARTA's fall gathering. Against the stunning backdrop of New England's fall foliage, they connected with some of the most respected professionals and programs in the nation. While there, Brian and Ashley shared insights into La Amistad's unique approach to care, built on over 50 years of experience in helping individuals overcome mental health and co-occurring challenges. We are excited to be a part of this extraordinary network and continue to provide exceptional care and support to those in need. #ARTA #HopeWithinReach #ResidentialTreatment #MentalHealthMatters

As youth anxiety rates continue to rise in 2024, parents play a critical role in identifying and addressing the challenges their children face. At La Amistad Behavioral Health Services, our programs offer a supportive environment tailored to help teens manage high levels of anxiety. In our latest podcast, our Director of Clinical Services, Mariel Colon Dunn, LMHC, joined by Windy McCarty Van Bemmel, LMHC, and Gabriela Deambrosio, International Educational Consultant, dive into the common symptoms of anxiety in teens, the impact of social media and family dynamics, as well as how academic pressures and climate concerns affect mental health. We emphasize the importance of early intervention and provide effective strategies to help teens navigate their emotions. With the right tools and support, young people can build resilience and thrive. Remember, help and hope are available, and healing is possible!

⭐ It was a successful Family Weekend at La Amistad! ⭐ We believe that healing doesn't just happen within our walls; it's a family journey. This past weekend, we had the privilege of hosting our Family Weekend, where families came together to engage, learn, and grow alongside our dedicated team. Our Program Manager, Kathleen Keane, and our incredible team of licensed therapists and educators led workshops focused on understanding the deeper goals of adolescent behavior, how to respond with empathy, and, most importantly, how to rebuild trust within the family system. These essential tools are at the heart of our approach, empowering families to create lasting, positive change both during and after treatment. 💖 Thank you to the families who participated and to our amazing team for making this event a success. Together, we're building stronger, healthier futures!
