Brentwood Hospital and KTBS Unite to Address Mental Health Challenges in Shreveport
SHREVEPORT, La. – A staggering one in five adults in the United States faces mental health issues each year, a fact underscored by the National Alliance on Mental Illness. In a response to this pressing concern, Brentwood Hospital of Shreveport has partnered with KTBS 3 to provide vital mental health resources directly to the community.
On Thursday, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., the KTBS 3 On Your Side On Call phone lines will be open to connect individuals with mental health professionals. Those in need of support can call 318-861-5827 to speak with experts who are ready to answer questions and provide guidance.
Brentwood Hospital’s staff aims to extend help and hope to individuals navigating crisis situations. Their commitment echoes the biblical principle found in Galatians 6:2, which encourages us to "bear one another’s burdens." By offering resources in a caring and supportive environment, the hospital aims to embody this spirit of compassion.
As the On Your Side On Call event approaches, anyone facing mental health challenges is encouraged to reach out. In the spirit of community and support, Brentwood Hospital reminds us that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Mental health is a crucial aspect of our overall well-being. By fostering conversations and providing direct access to resources, Brentwood Hospital and KTBS 3 are taking essential steps toward creating a healthier community.
As we contemplate these efforts, it’s vital to remember that we are not alone on this journey. The encouragement from the biblical text serves as a reminder: just as Jesus taught us to love and uplift one another, we too can find strength in connections and support.
In closing, may we reflect on the vast importance of mental well-being and the power of community in finding healing. Reach out, share your burdens, and allow hope to flourish. You don’t have to walk this path alone.

Q&A about
I’m struggling with anxiety and I don’t know how to cope. What does the Bible say about this?
The Bible reminds us in Philippians 4:6-7 to not be anxious about anything, but to bring our worries to God in prayer. When you share your concerns with Him, His peace will guard your heart and mind. Trusting in God’s sovereignty can provide you with comfort and clarity.
How can I find joy again when I’m feeling so down?
In times of sorrow, Romans 15:13 encourages us to find hope through the Holy Spirit, which can fill us with joy and peace. Focus on gratitude and remind yourself of the ways God has been faithful in your life, even in difficult moments. Surrounding yourself with supportive community can also rekindle your joy.
I feel so alone in my struggles. Does God really care about my mental health?
Absolutely, God cares deeply about your well-being, as evidenced by 1 Peter 5:7, where we are instructed to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us. Understanding that you are not alone in your struggles can bring comfort; God walks with you in every valley and peak.
I’m having trouble forgiving someone who hurt me. How can I move past this?
Forgiveness can be challenging, but Ephesians 4:32 reminds us to be kind and compassionate, forgiving others just as Christ forgave us. Reflecting on God’s grace in your own life can help you find the strength to release your hurt and begin the healing process. Consider praying for the person who hurt you—it can transform your heart.
