To be honest...
In our community, the rate for adolescents dealing with anxiety & depression issues is 1 in 5 and 70% go untreated. We also know that 44% of 12th graders have tried marijuana; those who begin using marijuana before 18 are 4 to 7 times more likely to develop a marijuana use disorder. There has never been more need for helping children and youth than right now.
With your support, we can open our doors to more of the children and youth in our community who struggle with behavioral health and substance use issues and continue to provide for those with financial assistance needed.
Our campus at The Bougainvilla House has been designed as a safe, healing space, with counselors who understand the unique needs of this generation.
With your help, we can continue to reach our youth and teach them essential coping methods to help manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
