Andrews Center Behavioral Healthcare System

Strong relationships don't happen by accident.

Whether it's a friend, coworker, mentor, or neighbor, staying connected helps us navigate life's challenges and celebrate its victories.

This Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, let's make space for honest conversations. 💚

The pics just keep coming ...

We are delighted to share more photos of the fine folks who joined us at the Connections: East Texas Behavioral Health Summit 2026. We thank everyone for attending, and we are already looking ahead to Summit 2027!

Listening is one of the simplest ways we can show someone they matter.

Whether it's a child, a friend, a spouse, or a coworker, taking the time to truly hear another person can strengthen relationships and build trust.

This Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, let's make space for listening. It will do your heart good and help you better understand the needs of those you care about. 💚

More Summit 2026 photos ...

Some of life's most important conversations happen far from an office—on a porch, in a truck, at the kitchen table, or on the sidelines of a ball game.

This Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, let's make space for honest conversations. 💚

Strong Communities Begin with Connection

Mental health isn't built by one organization alone. It takes neighbors, families, providers, educators, advocates, and community partners working together.

We're grateful for the many people and organizations who joined Andrews and the UT Tyler School of Medicine at last month's East Texas Behavioral Health Summit. Working together, these men and women help create hope, support, and opportunity throughout our region. 💚

More photos to come!

As Mental Health Month comes to a close, it's worth remembering that mental health isn't a destination we reach—it's a journey we continue every day.

Some days bring progress. Some days bring challenges. What matters is that we keep moving forward, caring for ourselves and supporting one another along the way.

Mental Health Month may be ending, but the importance of mental wellness doesn't end with the calendar. Let's continue the conversation, reduce stigma, and remind those around us that help and hope are always within reach.

No one moves mountains alone. 💚

💚 Please join us in congratulating Jennifer Berry on 35 years of service to Andrews Behavioral Health!

Jennifer began her career at Andrews in 1991 as a file clerk and was selected as Employee of the Month that same year. In 1994, she transferred to Business Services, where her dedication and talent led to numerous promotions over the years. This was just the start of Jennifer embarking on a path of self-enrichment and education that opened many doors for her at Andrews.

Committed to both personal and professional growth, Jennifer earned her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in 2006. Two years later, she was recognized as both Employee of the Month and Employee of the Quarter. In 2009, she completed her Master of Business Administration, and in 2014 she was promoted to Director of Accounting.

For three and a half decades, Jennifer has exemplified excellence, compassion, hard work, and a deep commitment to our mission. Her contributions have helped strengthen Andrews Behavioral Health and the communities we serve.

Thank you, Jennifer, for 35 remarkable years of service. We are grateful for all you do and proud to celebrate this milestone with you! 💚🎉

Andrews Behavioral Health CEO Becki Mangum presents Jennifer with a framed certificate honoring her thirty-five years of dedicated service to Andrews and the individuals, families, and communities we serve.
