🟢 1 in 5 children will experience a mental health challenge.

This isn’t rare.
This isn’t someone else’s story.
This is happening right here in our community.

At Tykes & Teens, we believe awareness is just the beginning.

We must: Know. Show. Grow.

❤️ Know the signs
🩷 Show up for our children
💜 Grow stronger together

Because every child deserves access to care ... when they need it, not when it’s too late.

This May, we’re reminding our community: mental health can’t wait.

When a child is in immediate crisis, waiting days ... even weeks, for help isn’t an option.

That’s why our Walk-In Assessment Centers are here.

💚 No appointment needed
💚 Same-day support
💚 Real help, right when it’s needed

Because every child deserves immediate care - not a waiting list.

💚May is Mental Health Awareness Month.💚

At Tykes & Teens, we believe something simple ... and powerful:

Every child deserves to be seen.
Every child deserves to be heard.
Every child deserves to heal.

But right now, too many children are struggling in silence.

This month, we’re shining a light on the realities facing our youth, and the hope that’s possible when a community shows up.

Because when we come together, healing begins. 💚

Thank you State Representative Dana Trabulsy for your advocacy regarding mental health in our community.

It's hard to believe that tomorrow we will be crossing over into May.

For awareness, May is Mental Health Month. Below are some staggering statistics, and although progress is being made, it is slow and many of the outside influences in our lives aren't helping us as a society to pay attention to our mental health.

I hope you will join me during May, and do something every day that will help to clear our minds and raise our spirits.

We are incredibly honored to share that we’ve been named the Mid-Market Innovator Award winner by Kipu Health, recognizing organizations using technology in bold, practical ways to improve care and outcomes.

At Tykes & Teens, innovation isn’t about chasing trends, it’s about removing barriers so children can access care faster, and clinicians can focus on what matters most … the child in front of them.

Through our partnership with Kipu:

✨ Centralized scheduling has significantly reduced wait times, helping families access care when they need it most.

✨ HIPAA-compliant AI note-taking allows our therapists to stay fully present during sessions, not behind a screen, strengthening connection and improving care.

✨ Integrated systems and workflows streamline everything from intake to treatment, ensuring a more seamless, supportive experience for every child and family.

Kipu’s platform is designed to free up clinician time, reduce administrative burden, and improve outcomes, and we see that impact every single day in our work.

As a nonprofit, every efficiency matters. Technology like this allows us to do more with every dollar, expanding access, supporting our team, and ultimately helping more children heal and blossom 🌸

A special thank you to Jay Biscanin, our Director of Operations & Prevention Services, for leading this work and continually pushing us forward. 👏

And thank you to Kipu for recognizing that innovation in behavioral health isn’t about complexity, it’s about impact.

Every child deserves timely, compassionate care … and the best tools to support it.
