💚Signs a Child May Need Support:

Sometimes it’s hard to know when a child may need extra mental health support.

Here are a few signs to watch for:
• Big changes in mood or behavior
• Withdrawal from friends or activities
• Trouble sleeping or frequent nightmares
• Increased anxiety, anger, or sadness
• Difficulty focusing or sudden changes in school performance

If you notice these signs, trust your instincts you don’t have to navigate it alone.

HopeSparks is here to help 💚https://hopesparks.org/

💚May is Mental Health Awareness Month

At HopeSparks, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and understood. Mental health is just as important as physical health and early support can make a lifelong difference.

Throughout this month, we’ll be sharing tips, resources, and ways to support the mental health of kids and families in our community.

You’re not alone and we’re here to help. https://hopesparks.org/

We need your help 💛

Mental Health Awareness Month is May. We are focusing on something simple but powerful. Routine.

A pair of pajamas, a bedtime story, brushing teeth before bed. These small, everyday moments help children feel safe, cared for, and know what to expect. That sense of consistency plays an important role in mental health.

A special thank you to Dr. Birds office in Tacoma for generously donating toothpaste.

If you’d like to contribute feel free to shop our amazon wishlist: https://a.co/00XDOYum

Please contact Pati West: hopescloset@hopesparks.org or Nikki Spaulding:nspaulding@hopesparks.org to arrange a drop-off time.

Donations are requested by May 11 to help ensure items reach families in time for mental health month.

Together, we can help create comforting routines for kids who need them most.

🦋April is Volunteer Month, and this week we’re celebrating Volunteer Week, a special time to recognize the incredible people who give their time and heart to our community.

Brandi shows up for families with empathy, dedication, and a deep sense of gratitude. As a volunteer, she brings both heart and lived experience, knowing firsthand the impact HopeSparks has had on her own family.

“For me, volunteering is a way of expressing deep appreciation for what HopeSparks has done for my family. All three of my kids have received services here, and I’ve felt the difference it makes. We spend so much time going to appointments that even something like shopping can feel overwhelming. This support has eased a huge burden for us. I love organizing, and this gives me the opportunity to do something I love while helping other families feel their burden lifted too.” — Brandi

This Volunteer Week, we’re grateful for Brandi and for every volunteer who helps create a community rooted in care, connection, and compassion.
