Since Mardi Gras season is one of Louisiana's most anticipated times of the year, on February 19, Johnson Behavioral Health Group was proud to join the fun this 2023 by marching in the Krewe of Highlands Mardi Gras Parade across the streets of Highland and Gilbert in Shreveport, Louisiana.
It was a beautiful day for the Mardi Gras parade as our CEO, Abigail Johnson, Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Cristina Evans, and their kids joined to show their support for the celebration. The team had prepared a lot of surprises in store for everyone who attended, from colorful decorations to fun giveaways of pens, stickers, motivational cards, stress balls, and so much more! The parade was filled with laughter and joy as everyone celebrated the occasion with their friends and family. We were proud to be part of this special event.
