Behavioral Health Response
Share
BHR provides 24-hour telephone crisis intervention support as well as mobile outreach, telehealth, community referrals, and training to people in mental health crises and the community at large in St.
It is okay to take a break.
Rest is not quitting or falling behind. It is how you reset, regain clarity, and come back grounded. Pause when you need to, breathe, and give yourself permission to slow down.
The work will still be there. Your well being matters too.
When communities come together around mental health, more young people get support before a moment becomes a crisis.
Behavioral Health Response was honored to join the Gibson Center for Behavioral Change at the CARE Symposium in Cape Girardeau, where President and CEO Tiffany Lacy Clark joined four other mental health professionals to talk about the adolescent mental health crisis happening today.
The conversation turned to what real crisis response looks like for teens, and the role the Response app plays in it. It connects students in schools to tiered support, from self-guided resources to peer specialists to licensed clinicians, so help is there the moment it is needed. Thank you to the Gibson Center for the partnership and for building space where this work moves forward together.
We Care. We Listen. We Respond.

Saturday, June 20th is going to be a beautiful day in East St. Louis. 🌱
Preston Community Garden is hosting Youth Day at the Garden, a free afternoon of planting, painting, plant bingo, hands-on demos, giveaways, music, and pure joy. The Bubble Bus rolls in, That Black Coffee Truck pulls up, and the community comes together to do what we do best: grow.
BHR proudly supports Preston Community Garden and the work they pour into our youth and families. Spaces like this matter. When young people get their hands in the soil, learn alongside neighbors, and feel seen by their community, something powerful takes root. Confidence grows. Connection grows. Hope grows.
This is what cultivating wellness looks like.

Some days you don't have time for a full meditation. You don't need one.
When stress hits in the middle of a meeting, a school pickup, a hard conversation, or a moment that just feels too big, try this. It takes ten seconds and no one around you will even notice.
1. Plant both feet flat on the floor.
Feel the ground underneath you. Press down gently. This signals to your nervous system that you are here, you are stable, and you are not falling.
2. Take one slow breath in through your nose.
Count to four on the way in. Let your shoulders drop on the way out. Just one breath. That's the whole ask.
3. Name where you are.
Quietly, in your head: "I am at my desk." "I am in my car." "I am in the kitchen." Locating yourself in space pulls your mind out of the future and back into the room with you.
That's it. Two feet. One breath. One sentence.
You don't need to escape your day to take care of yourself inside it. Small resets count. They add up.
💬 Save this for the next moment that feels like too much.
