We’re heartbroken by the recent news that federal funding was cut for The Trevor Project, a critical mental health and crisis support resource for LGBTQ+ youth. This move sends a dangerous message at a time when our young people need care and community the most. At The Child & Family Wellness Center, we are standing firm in our values. We will always be a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth and families.

Black history is everywhere, even in the shows we grew up on! 📺

Did you know that Dr. Chester Pierce, a Black psychiatrist, helped shape Sesame Street? He made sure Black children saw themselves in a positive and empowering way on TV. The show’s community, culture, and representation were inspired by Harlem and built to uplift all children.

Learning Black history is not just about the past. It helps us understand who we are, where we come from, and how we grow together. It also strengthens our mental health by building pride, connection, and resilience.
