Amid a busy semester, we’re taking a moment to say thank you. 💛

The kind words we have received from parents of learners in the READ Project remind us why we do what we do. These testimonials speak to the resilience, growth, and hope we witness every day — not just in our learners, but in the families who walk this journey with them.

Together, we READ!

Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, we pause to recognize that children and youth with ADHD — a condition that can often co-occur with learning disabilities — are at a higher risk of experiencing suicidal thoughts than their peers.

With the right support, those who learn differently can build resilience and hope for the future. Let’s work together to create a world where every child feels understood, supported, and able to thrive. 💜
