Areas of Focus
Youth Mental Health
Community Enhancement
Youth Mental Health
The mental health of our youth is an unrecognized pandemic. Suicide rates are soaring, bullying is a chronic issue and local resources for youth mental health are at capacity. Mental health issues are the biggest driver of bullying. We are creating partnerships to bring on-demand care to our youth.
Parental Support

How to have difficult conversations, addressing a youth with a mental health issue, navigating education options or challenges, dealing with special needs, social media oversight - parents need help. Through partnerships and education can we help parents navigate these difficult waters.
Community Enhancement
Community Enhancement
Community Enhancement
50 years ago communities supported each other. People helped people, cleaned up parks and common spaces, and had pride in their community. Over the last 50 years people have become reliant on others to take care of the community. Through programs and volunteer opportunities we are rebuilding community pride.
