This month, #CATCH's #Carter reminds #GBN and #GBS students that naming a feeling doesn’t make it stronger, it makes it lighter. Encourage your teen to write or talk about what they feel.

Behind every #CATCH initiative is a team driven by compassion, creativity, and care. We’re grateful for our dedicated staff and board who bring our mission to life every day, building a community where children’s mental health and well-being come first.

#CATCH is so grateful for the voices that inspire, educate, and connect our community. Each conversation, story, and insight shared helps break stigma and opens the door to understanding. Thank you for helping us keep these important discussions going.

10 days until #GivingTuesday and this year, #CATCHisCommunity asking our community to stand with families who shouldn’t have to navigate their child’s mental health journey alone. Every share, every donation, every conversation matters.

To our amazing volunteers, thank you for showing up, speaking up, and helping make every CATCH event possible. Your time, energy, and dedication remind us of what community in action truly looks like. We couldn’t do this without you!

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is slow down.
Take the nap. Eat lunch away from your desk. Step outside for a breath of fresh air.  Your well-being matters to you, your family, and your community.
