MONTH OF GIVING
Every donation you make helps provide essential care and resources to children and families facing mental health challenges. Your support directly funds programs that offer therapy, counseling, and other critical services, helping young people build resilience, develop coping skills, and thrive emotionally. For many children in our community, access to mental health care can be life changing. However, financial barriers, stigma, and a lack of available resources often prevent them from getting the support they need. In 2024, C&A delivered 59,747 counseling sessions and reached over 3,500 people through community outreach. By contributing to our cause, you’re helping to remove these barriers and create brighter futures for children struggling
with mental health challenges. Your generosity ensures that children have the tools they need to navigate life’s difficulties and reach their full potential. Together, we can make a real, lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most. Join us in making a difference for the mental well-being of the next generation.

“I recently transitioned from a career in information technology executive management to the consulting realm to focus more on life’s journey and become more involved in our community,” said John.
