Mental health and behavioral health are more connected than many people realize. 💜

In this conversation, Dr. Charmeka Lipscomb, Nurse Practitioner for Family & Psychiatric Mental Health at South Dallas Health Center, explains how changes in our behaviors—such as sleep, eating habits, isolation, and self-care—can be signs that our mental health needs attention.

Just as we care for physical illnesses, we must also prioritize our mental well-being. Conversations like this help break stigma and remind us that seeking support is a sign of strength.

In the wake of the devastating Oak Cliff apartment fire, many people across Dallas are asking the same question:

“How can I help?”

DW spoke with Dr. Linda Braddy, CEO of the American Red Cross North Texas Region, about the most effective ways our community can support families impacted by this tragedy.

According to Dr. Braddy, financial donations and volunteer support often have the greatest impact because they allow organizations to quickly respond to each family’s specific needs. She also emphasized that anyone who lost essential medical equipment, prescription items, or needs emotional support should contact 1-800-RED-CROSS for assistance.

As our city continues to grieve, let’s also continue to show up for one another.
