A difficult truth about the youth in our programs is that the holidays have not always been “the most wonderful time of the year.”

Since February, our incredible transition-age youth team in collaboration with our community outreach coordinator have planned monthly events for our TAY youth to gather, socialize, and grow in different ways than what they practice in their therapeutic environment.

In 2022, we have seen individuals, groups, businesses, organizations, and others still show up for our young people. The way everyone brought their own unique talents and resources together for one mission continues to demonstrate that This Community Cares - this is the magic of our community.

Each month TAY youth and their counselors gather in beautiful places to connect with nature and with each other. Together the youth have enjoyed yoga, art, pet therapy, chocolate tasting, and most recently a trip to Lafayette Reservoir.
