Want to make a real difference in youth mental health?
Support life-changing programs for kids in our community this summer!
Thanks to Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink, your donation will be matched by up to 50% — meaning your gift will go even further to support mental health programs like summer camp and Viewpoints for kids in our care.
We’re aiming to raise $100,000 this summer, and every dollar gets us closer to that goal.
Please donate today and help empower youth with the support they need to thrive.
Closer to Home
Building Resilient Families and Communities
We know that strong, stable homes and relationships are critical to people’s success and wellbeing. That’s why preserving and reunifying families is at the heart of everything we do.
It’s also why we strive to offer our programs and services in a home or a home-like environment. After all, home is where people feel a sense of connection, where lasting habits are best formed, and where real change often begins. Whether biological or chosen, it’s the relationships—the deep bonds—that make people feel at home. These bonds are critical to helping young people (and adults) feel supported on their journey of growth. We build resilient families and communities by giving children, youth, parents and caregivers the tools, training and support needed to learn, heal and grow stronger together.

How You Can Make a Difference
Thanks to community members like you, we’ve been able to change over 65,000 lives in the last twenty-five years. This means that children have been able to experience new things through our summer camp. This means that struggling moms have found the support they need to face their challenges and keep their families together. This means that babies have been kept at home, surrounded and loved by their families.
