Humanity is our ultimate community, and everyone plays a crucial role.

GIVING BACK
Because we believe we are all #BetterConnected, community outreach is extremely important to everyone in our Heartland Therapy Connection team. We seek out opportunities to give back through community education, nonprofit support, and stepping up whenever and wherever we can.
Here are a few of our recent community opportunities.
ANNA ON “PRACTICE OF THE PRACTICE”
In this podcast episode, Joe Sanok and Anna Saviano brainstorm about how to help new clinicians.
“Do you need help brainstorming your ideas? How should you pick your top topics to work with over the next few years? How do you properly solve your audience’s pain points?”
UMKC ROOS FOR MENTAL HEALTH
Heartland Therapy Connection’s team joined up with UMKC Roos to support the university’s Mental Health initiative.
We, Jessica Horine (pictured) and Anna Saviano, gave a talk at to UMKC Conservatory faculty and staff on how to address the mental health needs of students. We talked about stats, how best to identify warning signs, and how to help students experiencing difficulty. Then we gave tips on how best to support college students who might be away from home. In addition, we discussed how students might be struggling with identity, and what’s normal.
A TUESDAY CHAT WITH ANNA ON “NEW STRONG”
Anna Saviano is the guest speaker on New Strong’s Tuesday Chat.
“Today we sat down with Anna to dive into the ever complex and yet extremely important diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. Anna helped us understand the reason behind some of these behaviors that can cause extreme chaos and difficult communication, especially in the family dynamic. “
WARRIORS’ ASCENT
Heartland Therapy Connection puts caring into action by supporting the important cause of veterans’ mental health. Because this cause is important to us, we often participate in Warriors’ Ascent.
Warriors’ Ascent was created by two combat veterans who saw the need for more community support for veterans. The week-long program provides tools for veterans struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress. We are proud and grateful to be part of this impactful nonprofit.

UMKC MENTAL HEALTH LUNCH & LEARN
Londonne Ayers gave a Lunch & Learn talk for the UMKC community. Our virtual presentation focused on education on mental health issues and suicide prevention.
We were happy to use our experience and education to offer current UMKC students these helpful statistics, warning signs to watch for, methods of assistance, and next steps. Next up? Stay tuned!
