THE PURPOSE
The purpose is to provide an opportunity/platform for Youth Mental Health Awareness in the surrounding Houston areas. Also to provide community stakeholders an opportunity to share resources for parents who struggle in this area. Our mission eliminates the negative stigma of Mental Health Awareness and provides educational opportunities to the community.
GOALS AND OUTCOMES
The goal is to add additional support to youth who may have been diagnosed with childhood disorders such as ADHD/ADD, Bipolar, Anxiety, Depression, ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder), Conduct Disorder, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Trauma or personal issues such as stress and grief.
The outcome is to open the door to continue the conversation for the topic of Youth Mental Health Awareness and raise funds to support families who may be struggling financially and emotionally to get assistance or youth programming to serve as an outlet to support such behaviors.
Our goal is to fund 3 camp opportunities and one Scholarship Fund:
