"2020 bought things out of me personally that I never knew existed, I saw anxiety in myself, I saw a lot of personal growth as a result of it and begin to examine the gut of how much self-care needs to be implemented. I said all that to say this.
Heritage showed how important the well-being of their staff mattered during the beginning and still to this day. They had leaders reaching out to those they directed to make sure we knew it was okay not to be okay. They showed their appreciation monetarily but the caring spirit I saw in this agency after 20 years was priceless. I enjoy knowing that the reach of Heritage to the community and it’s employees exceeds mental health. I enjoy knowing that I work for a agency that doesn’t set boundaries when it comes to helping others. Helping people seek hope. Working together. Protecting ourselves and others. We did it together."
- Alma Taylor
"I love working with the ACT team and our clients. I have never worked with such a cohesive and devoted team of people. It is evident that everyone on the team cares about our clients and each other. We all are always striving for better ways to help and serve our clients, and to better understand each other.
I truly appreciate everyone’s roles on the team, and I highly value the work that they do. I am finally a part of a team of people where I feel like my role as a therapist is respected and valued, which is truly a breath of fresh air."

Heritage Reminds You to
Look for the Helpers
We are reminded of when Mr. Fred Rogers shared, "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in the world."
This is a really comforting thought. A lot of us are wondering, waiting and hoping that life will go back to “normal” soon, but honestly, well, we don’t really know when or if that will happen. There are just to many unknowns.
That's why it's important to give ourselves grace during this unusual time in our lives and remember that we are human. Events like this one can be scary and stressful. We may experience sadness, frustration or perhaps even hopelessness. And that's okay. After all, we are human. During this difficult time, please access and share these resources with others when needed (all are resources are free and are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week):
