Based on the announcement made by Harris County officials this morning about the Stay Home-Work Safe mandate, Cy-Hope Counseling and Speech Therapy will offer counseling through Teletherapy, starting Wednesday, March 25th and will be effective until the county mandate is lifted after Friday, April 3rd.  

We at Cy-Hope Counseling and Speech Therapy want to do our part to help flatten the curve of the COVID-19 virus in our community.  The mental health and safety of our clients remains our top priority.  While the next 10 to 12 days may look different for us, we remain steadfast in our commitment to our mission to provide mental health services to our clients and the great community.

April 2020

Our wish here at Cy-Hope is that we can bring hope to our entire community during these uncertain times. COVID-19 has forced all of us to make some drastic changes, and change can create anxiety. We also have people in our community fighting this virus or that know someone who has it. This newsletter is devoted to some of the ways Cy-Hope is working with our volunteers to serve Cy-Fair, mental health tips we can all use in such stressful times, and some important updates on upcoming Cy-Hope events.  As this situation changes rapidly, we encourage you to follow us on Facebook to receive the most up-to-date Cy-Hope information.
