May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to recognize that mental health is just as vital as physical health. One in five individuals will experience a mental health challenge in their lifetime, yet stigma and lack of resources often prevent people from seeking help. At the Val Verde Police Department, we are committed to fostering a community where mental wellness is prioritized, and no one feels alone. We encourage open conversations, compassion, and support for those facing mental health struggles. If you or someone you know is in crisis, remember that help is available. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline offers free, confidential support 24/7. Together, let’s break the silence and build a stronger, healthier Val Verde community.💚

During National Police Week, we proudly recognize our dedicated school police officers for their commitment to keeping our students, staff, campuses, and community safe!
