June is Pride Month 🌈

At CHILL, we believe every young person deserves to be seen, valued, and supported exactly as they are. For LGBTQ+ youth, especially those navigating foster care or independent living, having safe spaces and affirming support can make all the difference.

Pride is about celebrating identity, but it’s also about building a world where every young person feels secure, accepted, and empowered to be themselves.

This month and every month, CHILL is committed to creating spaces where youth can show up fully and know they belong. 💙

We’ve got a full lineup this month and you’re invited 👀✨

From game nights and community walks to celebrating wins and connecting with support, CHILL events are all about building skills, relationships, and confidence along the way. 💙

Be gentle with yourself. 🌼

Growth isn’t always loud or visible. Sometimes it looks like pausing, giving yourself grace, or choosing kindness instead of criticism. Learning to extend that same care to yourself is an important part of building confidence and resilience.

At CHILL, we know that navigating life—especially without consistent support—can be heavy. Being gentle with yourself isn’t giving up; it’s giving yourself what you need to keep going.

Take today at your own pace. You’re allowed to do that.

Hey Fort Wayne! 🌟

Let’s talk about the current state of homelessness in our city. It’s important to understand the numbers so we can work together to make a difference. 💪

Fort Wayne Homelessness Stats:

Over 170 people in Fort Wayne were experiencing homelessness during the last Point-in-Time Count.
47% of homeless families are African American, even though they make up only 15% of the general population.
940 students in the Fort Wayne Community Schools District were identified as experiencing homelessness during the 2021/2022 academic year.
40% of individuals in the homeless system of care were children between August 2018 and July 20211.

Why It Matters:

Community Impact: Homelessness affects everyone. By understanding the stats, we can better support those in need.
Awareness: Raising awareness is the first step towards creating effective solutions.

How You Can Help:

Donate: Support local shelters and food banks.
Volunteer: Give your time to organizations helping those in need.
Spread the Word: Share this post to raise awareness and encourage others to get involved.

Together, we can make a difference and support our community. 💙

How will you care for yourself today?

Care doesn’t have to be big or complicated. Sometimes it’s answering that email you’ve been avoiding. Sometimes it’s taking a break, asking for help, or setting one small boundary that protects your peace.

At CHILL, we believe caring for yourself is an important life skill—especially for young people navigating adulthood without consistent support systems. Taking care of yourself looks different for everyone, and that’s okay. What matters is starting where you are and choosing what helps you move forward.

What’s one small thing you can do for you today?
