Wrapping up a year of Hope Squad! ❤️🖤
Our Jefferson Intermediate hope squad celebrated their last meeting of the school year last week, and we’re so proud of these student leaders and the kindness they’ve brought to their school community all year long.

One squad member even surprised CHADS Hope Squad Coordinator, Alyssa, with a thoughtful gift and handwritten note.

Understanding depression starts with knowing the signs and reminding kids they're never alone. During our SOS® presentations, we help students learn how recognize when they or a friend might be struggling and how to reach for help. 💚

Who says you can't bring a claw machine to work? 🤷‍♀️Our SEW mentor, Annie, is making her final week at Loyola Academy extra special with a claw machine surprise for students she meets with at the end of their session this week.

One more week of connection, encouragement, and a little fun before summer break! 😎

In honor of National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day and Give STL Day, we're asking you to show up for young people who need support right now.

Every day at CHADS, we meet kids and teens facing anxiety, depression, bullying, and even thoughts of su***de. In those moments, having someone to talk to - someone who truly listens and cares - can change everything.

💚 We only have 24 hours to make a difference.

No matter the amount, your support helps us be there for the next student who needs someone in their corner.

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and it feels especially important to pause and recognize the people shaping not just minds, but lives.

Teachers do so much more than teach lessons; they show up for our kids in ways that are sometimes unseen. Whether it’s offering encouragement, noticing when a student is struggling, or simply being a safe, trusted adult, those moments make a lasting impact. 💚

To every teacher: thank you for your patience, your compassion, and the countless ways you show up.

We see you. We appreciate you, this week and always.
