"Participating in the creation of Mind Over Matters has been a labor of love for me. Because the website is designed for the specific needs of the Natchitoches community, I hope it soon will be regarded as a trusted mental health resource for our citizens. Most of all, I hope that it will enrich the lives of our users and help them value themselves and those around them. So hereÔÇÖs to our Natchitoches community, to all we are and all we can be."

About Mind Over Matters
Welcome to Mind Over Matters: A Mental Health Alliance for Natchitoches. Our mission it to provide you, the Natchitoches community, with trusted, accurate, up-to-date, and unbiased mental health and wellness information.
In addition, we are excited to provide you with information on where to go and how to get mental health treatment in our community and beyond.
