Vogt Engineering Supports Mosaics of Mercy

Helping families navigate mental health and addiction recovery

There is great need in our community for mental health and addiction resources. Finding the help when you need it can be a tremendous challenge. Mosaics of Mercy recognized this need and set out to bridge the gap separating those in need from the help available to them.


Through the nature of his job, Montgomery County’s Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace, and co-creator of the Behavioral Health and Suicide Prevention Task Force, Judge Wayne Mack sees the negative effects of mental health struggles and addiction in our community. He says,


“1 in 4 people are going to have a mental health event sometime in their lifetime. Not having resources, not knowing

where to go, and not having the ability to put your hand out and someone to grab your hand and guide you through

that process is overwhelming. Mosaics of Mercy will put their hand out for families that need hope, healing, and help.”


Mosaics of Mercy has created a website that hosts a wealth of information accessible within a centralized database at no cost. Members of the community as well as mental health professionals, medical professionals, schools, and churches can access this vital information with ease. In the database, one can find resources for mental health, addiction, eating disorders, crisis assistance, and more.


Bridging the gap


Stephanie Skipworth, Operations and Development Manager for Mosaics of Mercy, says


“Mosaics of Mercy bridges the gap between providers in our area and those who are struggling with mental health

and/or substance abuse. We have family navigators who take calls and help the community walk through the process

of finding and connecting with available and appropriate resources for all levels of care. We also recently launched a

public facing searchable resource database hosted on our website as an additional resource for Montgomery County!

As the issues with substance abuse and mental health grow in our community, so have we in an effort to ensure people

are able to connect with the help they need when they need it.”


Mosaics of Mercy, alongside Junior League of The Woodlands, will be hosting Addressing Her, a women's mental health conference, on Friday, March 31st at StoneBridge Church. This free event will have a morning full of speakers, resources, and encouragement for the women of our community. Vogt Engineering is supporting the event by sponsoring a coffee station for attendees. You can attend with us by registering here: https://addressing-her.raisely.com

Safety Saturday: Motorcycle Awareness

27 May, 2023
As the warmer season revs up, drivers are now more likely to be sharing the road with motorcycles. Motorcycle Awareness Month is observed in May and is a good time to remind drivers to take extra care while sharing the road. Agencies such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the National Safety Council, and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) come together to remind vehicle drivers and motorists that safe driving and riding practices plus cooperation from all road users will help reduce the number of fatalities and injuries on our nation's highways. Did you know more than half of fatal motorcycle crashes result from collisions with other vehicles? Because of its small size, motorcycles can be easily hidden in a car’s blind spots or masked by objects such as bushes or fences while at an intersection. Furthermore, the combination of congested roadways and distracted driving increase the difficulty of seeing motorcycles in traffic. These factors have led to many preventable fatalities each year. On average, more than one motorcyclist is killed on Texas roads every day . In 2022, 562 motorcycle riders were killed in motor vehicle crashes, an 8% increase over the previous year. And another 2,422 people were seriously injured. TxDOT’s annual safety campaign "Share the Road: Look Twice for Motorcycles" aims to protect motorcyclists by educating drivers on how to safely share the road. Below are a few safety precautions all motorists should keep in mind to help prevent motorcycle crashes: Stay alert. Give driving your full attention. Even a momentary distraction, such as answering a phone call or changing the radio station, can have deadly consequences. Pay special attention at intersections. One-third of all motorcycle fatalities happen at roadway intersections. Take extra care when making a left turn. Always assume motorcycles are closer than they appear and avoid turning in front of an oncoming motorcycle. Look twice when changing lanes. Check mirrors, check blind spots, and always use turn signals. Following these safety tips can help save lives and reduce injuries on our Texas roads.
