Announcement regarding Bradley Roark

2024-10-18

It is with sad hearts that we are announcing that Bradley passed away on Wednesday, October 2, 2024. We want nothing more than to work with you as you process this unexpected news. Our goal remains to humbly serve you as we continue to serve God on your healing journey. Sara and Sydney are here to continue meeting your therapeutic needs. However, if you feel that you need a male counselor outside of our practice, we are happy to make recommendations. We are here for you in your grieving so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need us.

We believe all good gifts come from above, and Bradley was a good gift that made a huge impact on those he came in contact with. He is already so missed, but we are honored to carry on his legacy of hope, compassion, empathy, encouragement, empowerment, and steadfast faith. As Bradley would frequently say, I got you, I see you! We got you and we see you! We are here for anything you may need.

2022-08-22

What an incredible couple of weeks it has been here at RKACC! God has been putting expansion on our hearts for some time now, so when the door opened last week, we walked right through it. We are excited to announce that we are moving to 6833 82nd Street, Suite 102. If you recognize the address, you should, as it is in the building just east of our current location. All you have to do is look for the red convertible bat mobile and our RKACC sign that actually moved ahead of the game last week. This is our last week at our current location and we will be open for business at the new location next Tuesday, August 30. We look forward to showing you around!

What has all the buzz been about?

2022-08-15

We are sure there has been some question lately as to what the buzz is at RKACC? We are ecstatic to announce that we are expanding and our team is getting the honor of adding another passionate and empathetic person to our practice.

Let us introduce to you Sydney Seal, our new Certified Life Coach! Bradley has been working with Sydney over the last year to make this dream a reality and we are ecstatic to have her a part of the RKACC team. Ever since she was a little girl she has known her purpose in life was to help and encourage others to be the best version of themselves. She has had her fair share of ups and downs within her marriage, life, and careers. Because of this she wants to help and share what she has learned so that her clients too can conquer whatever life has thrown at them. She wants them to know that they are seen, they are heard, and they are worthy!

Sydney will be part-time at RKACC on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays starting September 6. Call our office or visit our website to book with her now. You will be greatly impacted by her!

That’s not all folks! Due to the addition of another team member and our goals for the future, we are MOVING at the end of the month. Don’t worry, we are not moving far, only one building to the east at 6833 82nd street, Suite 102. You may not even notice if you just look for Bradley’s convertible mustang sitting out front! We look forward to welcoming you to our new space August 30!

We hope everyone is having an amazing summer and is stepping into the fall in full faith like we are. If we can answer any questions or be there for you in any way, always give us a call!

..............................

When I went through relationship and identity struggles a few years ago, counseling was how I was able to discover who I was always meant to be, a life coach. It is my greatest hope to impact others in the same way through encouragement, love, compassion, empathy and faith. From that faith-based aspect, I would like to shine Christ onto those I work with and give them hope in any and all situations they face. I will work to build faith, hope, love and trust in each of my clients, and through that relationship we both will gain the belief in ourselves and the momentum to move forward. It is my utmost belief that God created us to need others, so I hope that those I get the honor of coaching will leave each session being reminded that they are not alone, and that it is okay to ask for help. We were never meant to endure life alone.

I was born and raised here in Lubbock, Texas where I graduated from Monterey High School. I went on to attend South Plains College where I earned my Associate’s Degree in Human Sciences. After over a decade of working as a coordinator at Texas Tech University, I decided to go back to school part-time in order to obtain my Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two children, our wonderful extended family, and friends.

Improving Safety for Students Through the Heart

2018-10-24

Our partnership with O'Donnell School District is in full swing and we are having a great time building into that amazing community. This week, we had the honor and opportunity to talk to parents about the ultimate life skill: Emotional Intelligence. We had a great turn out and can't wait for parent training #2 in a few weeks!

Systemic Solutions Are on the Menu for Reducing the Risk of School Violence in a Local Area Public School District

2018-09-04

We are excited to send out the following press release........................

As schools are opening their doors for a new academic year, teachers and students are excited about a new season of learning and connecting with others. However, for many, trepidation underlies the excitement with the fear of another school shooting. They ask questions like: Will it be us this year? Will we be prepared? How do we prevent it?

A small town in west Texas is getting serious about answering these questions. O’Donnell Independent School District is partnering with a counseling and consulting firm in Lubbock and have constructed a comprehensive training program which will address the issue on a system-wide, comprehensive level.

Bradley and Carrie Roark of Roark Kerr & Associates Christian Life Coaching will lead the OISD team, students, and parents through an in-depth team and culture building program designed to encompass the 2018-2019 school year. The heart of the plan is to focus on the area of emotional health and raise the Emotional Intelligence of the entire school community. Emotional intelligence can be the most potent weapon in a network’s armory. It helps boost self-awareness, self-control, motivation, empathy, and social skills, all of which help us become much better people and community members.

Current efforts attempt to curb violence in schools and prepare schools to deal with attacks, but this program addresses the system and culture that’s producing violent behavior in the first place. "Bullying, failure, low self-image and poor character decisions are at the heart of many of the challenges facing young people today," said Paul Martinelli, president of the John Maxwell Team. Raising a community’s Emotional Quotient will give school systems practical tools and ideas to bring success in today's challenging world.

RKACC began its program with training at OISD on August 14^th at the teacher in-service and was a huge success. Further trainings are planned at every level of the system throughout the school year that include student assemblies for all age levels, school staff, administration, and parents. Networks will magnify whatever they are seeded with. This program intends to seed the network with seeds of increased emotional capacity and growth.

To learn more about this program, you can contact RKACC by e-mailing leadership@roarkcc.com or calling at 806-283-8586.
