Young people deserve to be heard when they tell us how they’re feeling.

On World Mental Health Day, we’re encouraging families and communities to make room for conversations about mental health.

Ask how someone is doing, listen without judgment, and remind them that asking for support is welcome.

Every child deserves to feel safe at school, online, and in their community.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month.

Checking in with young people, listening when they share concerns, and helping them connect with a trusted adult can make a difference.

This month, let’s make kindness and inclusion part of our everyday conversations.

Did You Recently Lose SNAP Benefits? You May Have Another Opportunity.

Good news: New Yorkers who lost SNAP benefits because of recent work requirement changes may now be able to reapply and receive benefits again for up to three months.

In addition, SNAP benefits are increasing this month, helping families keep up with rising food costs.

If you're unsure whether you qualify, now is a great time to check.

Call 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669) or visit Access HRA at nyc.gov/AccessHRA to learn more.

Everyone deserves access to healthy food and support when they need it.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, JCCA celebrates the generations of Hispanic and Latino people whose cultures, traditions, achievements, and stories have enriched our communities.

We’re especially proud to recognize the Hispanic and Latino staff who bring their talents, perspectives, and dedication to our work, as well as the youth and families who allow us to be part of their lives.

Celebrating heritage is about more than recognizing where we come from—it’s about creating spaces where culture and identity are valued and where people feel a true sense of belonging.

Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the diversity of the communities we serve and celebrate the many voices that make JCCA stronger.

¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana!

Back-to-school season can bring excitement, new opportunities—and some anxiety.

While a certain amount of nervousness is common, for some children and teens, those feelings can become overwhelming and begin to affect their everyday lives. College students and young adults may also face added pressures as they navigate academics, new relationships, and greater independence.

JCCA Psychotherapist Jonathan Baez recently joined BronxNet Community Television to discuss the warning signs parents, caregivers, and young people should look for, as well as when it may be time to seek additional support.

Watch the conversation to learn more about supporting young people’s mental health as they begin a new school year.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month—a time to recognize the importance of mental health, meaningful connection, and ensuring people have access to support when they need it.

At JCCA, we know that prevention begins with creating communities where people feel heard, valued, and supported.

It means paying attention, making space for honest conversations about mental health, and helping connect children, youth, and families with compassionate care and resources.

This month, we reaffirm our commitment to breaking down stigma, strengthening emotional well-being, and reminding our communities that asking for help is a sign of strength.

Together, we can build a culture of care, connection, and hope.
