May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

At CHOR, we’re proud to stand in support of mental health—this month and every month. From the green ribbons to our campus display, these small reminders represent something big: that mental health matters, and no one has to face challenges alone.

Join us in spreading awareness, reducing stigma, and supporting one another. 💚

It’s your turn to make a difference 💙

As Child Abuse Prevention Month comes to a close, we’re reminded that children need safe, supportive homes every day.

Together, we can make a lasting impact.

👶💙 Celebrating National Home Visiting Week! 💙👶

This week, we’re proud to recognize our incredible Parents as Teachers Home Visiting team here in Berks County!

Our dedicated Parent Educators support families from pregnancy through Kindergarten, providing guidance on:
✨ Parenting skills
✨ Child growth & development
✨ School readiness
✨ Individual family goals

Families are also connected to valuable community resources, while children benefit from free vision & hearing screenings and developmental assessments.

Beyond the home visits, families can build connections through fun, interactive group activities with others in the community. 🤝

We are so grateful for this compassionate team and the meaningful impact they make in the lives of children and families every day. 💙

💙 Happy National Home Visiting Week! 💙

This incredible team of specially trained nurses supports families from pregnancy through a child’s second birthday—building strong foundations right from the start.

They work alongside families to improve birth outcomes, support healthy growth and development, and connect parents to vital community resources. Their impact reaches far beyond healthcare—they are mentors, advocates, and trusted partners during some of life’s most important moments.

Thank you for your compassion, dedication, and the difference you make every single day. 💙

💙 Care Closet Spotlight 💙

When young people come into our care, they may arrive with very few personal belongings. Our Care Closet helps ensure they have immediate access to clothing, hygiene items, and everyday necessities—so they can feel comfortable, supported, and cared for from day one.

Because of the generosity of our community, this space has grown into something truly special. Youth are able to choose items they need, giving them a sense of dignity and normalcy during a time of transition.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated and supported this effort—you are making a direct impact in the lives of the children and families we serve. 💙

✨ Want to help us keep the Care Closet stocked? We are always accepting donations! If you’re interested in contributing, please reach out—we’d love to connect.
