This month, the amazing residents of our Moss 1 Group Home in Albemarle, NC, spent a day spreading kindness by visiting various food donation locations. One of their stops included filling the “Blessing Box” at a local church with canned goods and boxed meals, ensuring that those in need had access to food.

The people we support are often doing wonderful volunteer work throughout the community. Their actions remind us all of the power of giving back.

As we head into the weekend on this “Feel Good Friday”, we encourage you to do something kind for your neighbor or community. Acts of kindness not only boost your own mental health but can also inspire others to pay it forward, creating a beautiful ripple effect of goodness.

Let's make this weekend one filled with compassion and positivity!

🌍🎉 Happy World Emoji Day! 🎉🌍

At Monarch, we understand that sometimes words aren't enough to express how we're feeling. Emojis offer a universal language that can bridge gaps, helping us connect and communicate our emotions when words fall short.

Our mental health professionals often use emoji charts to help individuals articulate their feelings. Whether you're feeling 😊, 😢, or anything in between, sharing your emotions is a crucial step towards understanding and support.

Today, we invite you to share how you're feeling using emojis! Comment below with an emoji (or a few!) that best describes your mood today. Let's celebrate the power of emojis in helping diverse individuals find common ground and express themselves!

Her wealth of experience, including five years as a nurse in a correctional facility, shines through in her commitment to patient care and her collaboration with colleagues. Sabrina’s passion for behavioral health and her unwavering dedication make her an integral member of the Monarch team.
