✨ Partner of the Week: Engaging Minds ✨

This week, we are highlighting Engaging Minds for their dedication to supporting individuals and creating meaningful opportunities for growth, learning, and connection within our community. We are grateful for their partnership and the impact they continue to make! 💚

Please join Tracy and me in congratulating Lauren and Allison on earning their undergraduate degrees! We’re proud to have had them both as part of the AES office team and are excited to see what’s ahead for each of them.

Lauren will continue working in the office while pursuing her Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at IUK. Allison has already begun the next chapter of her journey at Logan University, where she is continuing her education in Chiropractic studies.

Congratulations, Lauren and Allison, we can’t wait to see all you accomplish!

May is Mental Health Month 💚

Your mental health matters every day, and taking care of yourself is something to be proud of. Whether that means resting, reaching out for support, setting boundaries, or simply taking things one step at a time, every small step counts.

You are not alone.
