2026 Excellence in Mental Health Award

🎖️ A Champion for Mental Health: Dr. Eddie McCaskill

Big news! We are thrilled to celebrate FFSC’s Family Therapist, Dr. Eddie McCaskill, for receiving the 2026 Excellence in Mental Health Award. 🧠💙 This award celebrates and recognizes unsung mental health professionals who have helped reduce the stigma of mental health in the African American/Black community in the St. Louis region. The St. Louis County Children’s Service Fund presents two Excellence in Mental Health Awards: the Excellence in the Field of Mental Health Award and the Community Mental Health Provider Award.

From his groundbreaking workshops on childhood adversity to his daily work right here at FFSC, Dr. McCaskill is a national voice in trauma recovery. He doesn’t just provide therapy; he provides a roadmap for fathers to reclaim their lives and reconnect with their families.
