Collaborating with Schools
Optimum Psychiatry weaves mental health literacy into Lubbock classrooms by co-hosting workshops that help teachers spot early warning signs. Programs like the Mindful Minds Initiative at Lubbock High School bring mindfulness and stress-management modules directly to students, promoting resilience long before crises arise.
Partnering with Educators
Faculty receive evidence-based toolkits, sample lesson plans, and referral guides tailored to adolescent needs. These resources ensure educators can respond with compassion, creating supportive learning environments where mental wellness is normalized.
Engagement with Faith-Based Organizations
Faith leaders across Lubbock collaborate with Optimum to address stigma from the pulpit. Sermons, small groups, and pastoral counseling sessions now include vetted mental health education, positioning emotional wellbeing as a spiritual priority.
Perinatal & Postpartum Support
Partnerships with health organizations and platforms like Psychology Today ensure expectant parents can find specialists fluent in postpartum mood disorders. Weekly online groups co-hosted with Postpartum Support International offer moderated spaces for sharing, education, and validation.
Challenging Stigma Through Events
Collaborations with community hubs such as the Lubbock Dream Center power city-wide mental health events. Speakers, resource fairs, and storytelling circles reduce shame and invite residents to advocate for their neighbors.
Community Invitation
Residents can connect via the 66th Street clinic or website to sponsor workshops, host support groups, or volunteer. Every partnership expands the safety net for families navigating mental health together.
Challenging Stigma Together
City-wide awareness events co-produced with groups like the Lubbock Dream Center invite storytellers, clinicians, and local artists to dismantle shame. Even when recent event recaps are limited, the momentum is clear—neighbors leave informed, resourced, and ready to advocate.
