Creativity was the highlight of our youth's scarecrow activity. They truly brought them to life adding their own personal touches and style to each of the scarecrows they created. It was nice to see them all working together piece by piece to pull it all together. What great way to have fun in the fall!

We love creating opportunities for our youth to explore their creativity, have fun, and make meaningful memories.

The youth participated in a fun balloon cup challenge! Each player raced to move and stack plastic cups using only balloons, without touching the cups with their hands.

Our youth put their skills to the test, focusing on every move as they competed against one another. They had a great time challenging themselves, building their coordination, and enjoying some friendly competition

It was wonderful spending time with our amazing supervisors on campus! We took the afternoon to celebrate and recognize all they do with a special BBQ. Everyone enjoyed time together around the bonfire, making s’mores, enjoying great food, and playing games.

It was a pleasure to acknowledge the hard work they do every day to keep our campus running smoothly and to see them feel truly appreciated and celebrated.

A special shoutout to our supervisors and to everyone who helped make this afternoon a memorable one!

School spirit was on full display at our Staff vs. Student Football Game!

After an exciting matchup, our Staff claimed the victory over the Students!

To keep the football excitement going, we brought back Purple Fridays and Sundays so everyone can wear their favorite football attire to support the Ravens this season.

Thanks to all who coordinated and participated in such a fun afternoon!

This Mental Illness Awareness Week, we're reflecting on the power of honest conversations and shared experiences. "In This Family" podcast, hosted by Dr. Michelle K. Murray, explores how mental health shapes families through candid discussions with authors, advocates, public figures, and everyday people navigating life's challenges.

Whether you're navigating your own mental health journey or supporting someone you care about, we invite you to listen, learn, and find connection in these powerful conversations.

We took time to celebrate and appreciate our IT, Marketing, HR, and Transition Services teams with an afternoon in paradise!

We wanted our staff to feel like they were away from the office and vacationing in Jamaica. This theme truly set the vibe, complete with goodies, prizes, Caribbean food, and all the island-inspired atmosphere.

It was such a fun event, and seeing the reactions on our staff's faces as they enjoyed the décor, delicious food, and friendly team competitions made it even more special.

These teams are truly deserving of recognition and do an incredible job in everything they do.

Many people want to help when someone they care about is struggling. But support isn't about having the perfect advice or finding a solution to every problem.

Whether you're supporting a friend, family member, or young person, understanding the difference between helping and healing can make a meaningful impact.

Read the blog:

A caring friend can make a big difference by staying connected, listening without judgment, and offering support. Healthy boundaries matter: encourage professional help when needed, and seek immediate intervention if someone expresses thoughts of self-harm or su***de.

In recognition of Su***de Prevention Month, our team came together for an afternoon focused on connection, wellness, and support. Our event featured goodie bags, giveaways, a make-your-own stress ball activity, popcorn, and a raffle.

This opportunity gave our campus a reminder of how important having a community matters from the small conversations, help on projects, working with our youth,, etc. Whether big or small, we are all in this together!

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped us create a space centered on awareness, support, and hope.

Our 2026 Summer Olympics have come to an end! This year’s games were in full effect, bringing together our youth and staff for some friendly competition and fun. Throughout the summer, participants competed in a variety of activities, including basketball, track and field, and more.

Our youth did an amazing job showcasing their athletic abilities, cooperation, and teamwork each week. We wrapped up the season with a banquet where participants were recognized for their achievements and celebrated for awards such as MVP and Best Sportsmanship. Our staff also joined in on the fun and were recognized for their participation and contributions.

We appreciate our staff for being such great team players by helping coordinate events, actively participating, and leading by example through their sportsmanship and teamwork. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Summer Olympics a memorable and successful experience!

We were excited to host our Back-to-School Night and kick off a new school year together!

Families joined us on campus to meet our dedicated team, learn about the exciting plans ahead, and discuss how we can partner together to support the growth and success of our youth.

It was wonderful to welcome everyone to campus and feel the excitement for the new year. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the afternoon so special. Here's to an amazing school year filled with growth, learning, and achievement!
