Residents at Jackson-Feild Behavioral Health Services, under the direction of the Rev. Dr. Robin Moore, recently used their artistic skills to create ‘silly socks’ for residents of an assisted living program in Emporia.

Using fabric paint, the children had a wonderful time decorating socks not only with fun designs but also with inspirational and kind words for the senior recipients.  “It’s always fun to spark the children’s imagination and creative efforts,” said Moore. “I’m forever seeking ways to engage our residents in volunteer efforts as a part of their treatment at Jackson-Feild. They were so proud of their creations, and were pleased that they could help brighten someone else’s day.”

Jackson-Feild is a behavioral health organization whose mission is to provide high quality evidence-based psychiatric, residential, educational and recovery treatment services for children who suffer from severe emotional trauma, mental illness and/or addiction.
