Your support makes mental health care accessible to youth who need it most.
Our community-based services are designed to care for youth who may not have reliable transportation to the counseling appointments they desperately need. Because of this, our staff often travel to our youth instead of the other way around—meeting them exactly where they are!
Jasmine is one of hundreds of youth we serve in this way. When Jasmine first reached out, she wanted counseling to help with anxiety and depression. She had been suspended from her high school and was in trouble with the courts. She knew she needed help to get back on track.
In therapy, Jasmine learned how to understand and work through her emotions. She learned how to be kind to herself in the midst of challenges. Our staff helped her realize her potential and dream big. Now, Jasmine has flourished in school with excellent grades and attendance.
In addition to her success at school, Jasmine earned a promotion at her part-time job at a fast food restaurant. She even started her own small business making desserts. “Jasmine is the hardest working teenager I have ever met,” said her case manager. “She is incredibly self-motivated, maintaining good grades and working twenty hours a week.”
Jasmine has also learned valuable life skills like how to create a budget from her paychecks. She has almost accomplished her first financial goal: buying her own car. Jasmine is looking forward to graduating high school this spring and plans to move into her own apartment soon.
Thank you for making brighter futures possible for Jasmine and so many other youth!
