This campaign coincides with national initiatives related to child abuse prevention, foster care, and mental health. Investing in the health and resilience of children is crucial in the wake of the pandemic. A recent study by the CDC uncovered significant worsening mental health in high school students.

“Echoing across my younger clients as well as the parents of children is just how hard everything has been. Whether it is grieving the loss of loved ones, grieving the loss of expectations or goals, or grieving the way things have changed, I have heard very few people report positive outcomes from the pandemic. But I am hopeful for the younger generation. While change has been slow, the youth I am working with report improved moods. They feel more empowered due to the tools gained in therapy and have begun to take control back of different things in their lives while appropriately grieving all they have gone through. While the effects of the pandemic are not over, those with the support and tools to get through this tough time can still succeed and live a life worth living.” -Thea, Arden Shore Behavioral Health Therapist

More than half of those on Arden Shore’s waiting list for mental health support services are children. By donating to Arden Shore and adding your name to the family tree, you are not only making it possible for Arden Shore to provide quality service that partners with families to address the root causes of childhood trauma and help families heal, you are also telling children in need that they are a part of your community.
