Honored to be recognized by Lexington's own Battlegreen Run Foundation as one of the many non-profits their annual run supports.

Since 1996, they have distributed over $1,200,000 to non-profit partners like YCC and we are very grateful.

We use financial support like this for the many FREE mental health services we offer Lexington youth and their families.

Thank you Battlegreen Run Foundation! We appreciate you.

As always, our services are FREE and confidential.

Use our private side entrance (there's a YCC sign on the door) at 7 Harrington Road right on the green in Lexington and walk in every Wednesday from 3-4:30pm and speak to one of our kind counselors.
