Dr. Kelli Collins, Board Member for Family & Children Services, recently hosted a beautiful spring brunch benefiting our Summer Enrichment Program!

We so appreciate Dr. Collins for gathering a generous group of neighbors, friends, and colleagues to hear about what our summer enrichment program does for our clients. Special thanks to her four children who helped cook and tag the food and created beautiful postcards to send to children enrolled in summer enrichment!

Our Summer Enrichment Program creates a safe, supportive space where children can explore new interests, build friendships, and grow in confidence. Whether attending outdoor camp, engaging in music or art therapy, or receiving academic support to stay on track, each experience is designed to nurture the child and their unique personalities. Because of generous donors like Dr. Collins and those who attended her spring brunch, over 800 children have access to these life giving programs.

Young people thrive when support comes early. Encouraging open conversations about mental health can help children and teens feel supported in reaching out.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we encourage you to have honest and vulnerable conversations with the young people in your lives as often as possible because early support matters!

If you feel like you or your child could use more support, call or email our Counseling Center to schedule an appointment. 269.344.0202 or email outpatient@fcsource.org. #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
