Join us for movement, activities and sports for kids ages 4 to 12. In 2020, mental health moved to the forefront - for everyone. Collectively, we experienced the heaviness that children with a mental health diagnosis carry every single day. It was in the midst of this year that you changed lives. We hold anger, sadness, and compassion as racist acts continue to be commonplace in our community and nation.
Through our work, we know that ongoing discrimination and racism have a deep and lasting impact on children's mental health.

My 7 year old daughter was in the initial phase of being diagnosed. I was waiting for her therapist to complete her report and get back to me, so that we could schedule follow up therapy appointments. After multiple emails and voicemails to her, I escalated the issue to her supervisor and never received a call back. This place is definitely not somewhere I’d recommend taking any child with mental health needs to. In the middle of a pandemic everywhere is backed up months and to have to wait, and not be take care of is a huge disappointment.

I called multiple times to find a provider and it took them months to even get back to me or find someone. We saw the provider once and they scheduled a follow up appointment and gave me an appointment card. We went to the appointment and the provider never showed up and claimed that they thought it was a different day when I had proof that it was not. I asked for them to release records. After multiple calls they finally returned my call and stated that
