“We are reminded that even the smallest act of kindness can change the course of someone’s life.”

Those words, spoken by Julie Enockson, President of Rosecrance Jackson Centers, remind us why kindness is at the heart of everything we do.

Yesterday, we had the honor of dedicating this Kindness Bubble to Kermit Dahlen, whose 40+ years of selfless service helped shape Rosecrance Jackson Centers into what it is today. His leadership, unwavering support for staff, and deep commitment to our clients have left a lasting impact that will never be forgotten.

We are also incredibly grateful to Mark and Terri Avery for generously donating their 50th Kindness Bubble to Rosecrance Jackson Centers as we celebrate 50 years of serving our communities.

As Kermit shared today, he hopes this piece of art serves as a reminder that people in recovery deserve beautiful things in their lives. May it also remind all of us to lead with kindness in everything we do.

August 1st was World Lung Cancer Day. One of the best ways to prevent cancer is to commit to lifestyle changes that incorporate healthy habits. Let's discuss Ni****ne.

The term “Ni****ne” includes traditional to***co products, vapes, and ni****ne pouches. Ni****ne promotes cancer by fueling cell growth, blocking cell death, increasing tumors, and making treatment less effective.

If you or someone you love uses ni****ne-containing products, take a moment to share these helpful resources and online coaching opportunities.

✏️🍎 Back-to-school season is almost here! 🍎✏️

A new school year brings excitement, but it can also bring stress and anxiety—for students and parents. New routines, new teachers, busy schedules, and changing expectations can feel overwhelming.

A few simple ways to make the transition easier:

✅ Re-establish healthy sleep routines before school starts.
✅ Talk openly about worries or concerns.
✅ Watch for changes in mood, sleep, or eating habits.
✅ Make time for fun, relaxation, and family connection.

Remember, it's okay to ask for help if stress starts to feel like too much. Taking care of mental health is just as important as checking off the school supply list.

Wishing all students, families, teachers, and school staff a happy, healthy, and successful school year!

🩷 Thank you for a fabulous evening!

We are so grateful to everyone who joined us for this year’s Boots, Bling & Big Dreams (hosted by Rosecrance Jackson Centers). It was an evening filled with connection, awareness, and a shared commitment to supporting the women and children taking courageous steps toward long-term recovery.

A special thank you to our wonderful hostess, Sundae Haggerty, for graciously opening her beautiful venue and creating such a warm, welcoming space for our event. We’re also incredibly thankful to our Women & Children’s Center staff for spending the evening with us and sharing the life changing work they do every day!

We’d also like to recognize our amazing Women & Children’s Auxiliary. Their compassion, generosity, and volunteer service help create meaningful experiences and provide extra support for the women and children we serve. Their commitment plays an important role in helping families feel seen, supported, and encouraged throughout their recovery journey.

If you weren’t able to attend, there’s still time to make an impact! You can still support our Blessing Bundle project by donating household items or making a monetary gift. More information is included in the attached flyer.

Interested in getting involved year round? We’re also sharing information about the Rosecrance Jackson Centers Women & Children’s Auxiliary. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to give back, connect with other women in the community, and make a difference, we’d love to have you join us. Learn more in the attached flyer.

Thank you for believing in hope, healing, and second chances. 🩷

💛 Yesterday, our team had the opportunity to support Play Yellow, benefiting St. Luke's Children's Miracle Network.

Let’s just say our bright orange polos made sure nobody had to ask, “Where’s the Rosecrance team?” 🧡😄

Every dollar raised stays local, helping provide critical care and support for kids right here in our community.

We were proud to stand alongside so many partners who made that possible.
