A Mid-Year Note

Hey y'all,

Happy July! Six months into the year is a great time to pause and reflect. Whether you're managing a full caseload, supporting families in crisis, or building your practice, I hope this month's resources offer something helpful for you or someone you serve.

What's one resource you've shared with a client or colleague lately that has made a real difference?

I'd love to hear from you. I'm always looking to feature helpful tools in future newsletters.

Be well,

Crista

Community Spotlight

Are you familiar with comprehensive wraparound services?

Feinberg Consulting is a national, private-pay behavioral health consulting organization that partners with individuals, families, and treatment providers to navigate the complexities of mental health and substance use recovery. Rather than providing clinical treatment ourselves, we serve as an extension of the treatment team—helping families prepare for care, make informed treatment decisions, strengthen communication, reinforce clinical recommendations, and build the structure needed for lasting recovery. Our services include interventions, independent treatment placement, family coaching, recovery coaching, sober companion services, and ongoing recovery management. By addressing the practical and relational challenges that exist before, during, and after treatment, we help create the conditions that allow providers to focus on what they do best while giving families the support they need to move forward together.

For more information, visit www.feinbergcare.com or reach out to Thatcher Shivley, Chief Relations Officer, at 561-503-1544.
