Do you talk about emotions with your kids?

The way we express our feelings matters because young ones are watching. 👀 They're modeling our emotional behavior.

One of the most powerful gifts you can give your child is admitting when you make a mistake. Apologizing and showing your vulnerability helps your child learn that one can be loved without being perfect.

Emotional intelligence is the gift that keeps on giving. The ability to understand other people and work with them makes a difference in modern work life. It is also critical in relationships, and research shows that having positive friendships and romantic relationships dramatically benefits our overall health and wellbeing.

A new school year is just around the corner, and with it comes a fresh start for so many students.

While some children are excited to head back to the classroom, others may be carrying challenges that make the transition a little harder.

At Ascent, we're here to partner with schools and families to support youth ages 5–21 facing social, behavioral, or mental health challenges. Together, we can help students start the school year with the support they need to succeed.

Here's to a year filled with growth, hope, and new opportunities. We're ready to partner with our schools to make a difference.

From cooking, cleaning, getting the children ready for school to paying the bills and simply providing for their family, parents (ourselves at Ascent included) forget to tell our children their strengths. We are so busy DOING that we forget to sit down and simply love on our children by reminding them of how awesome they are.

🔵 "You're so strong! I don't know how you've gotten this far, but I'm proud of you."

🟢 "I love how you make me laugh. Thank you for putting a smile on my face!"

🔵 "You are so brave! I love how you are not afraid to be honest."

At Ascent, we've had the privilege of walking alongside children and families as they discover hope, build resilience, and create a brighter future together. We've seen youth who once struggled find stability, confidence, and the support they need to thrive.

That's why we do what we do. Because every child deserves the chance to write a new chapter.

💙 Together, we're bringing hope where it has been lost...one family at a time.
