LGBTQ+ Pride Month is here 🌈—and at Children’s Aid, we’re proud to celebrate the strength, resilience, and spirit of our LGBTQ+ community.

This year’s Pride theme, "For All of Us," reminds us that creating spaces where everyone feels safe, welcome, respected, and valued is a shared responsibility.

We stand together in that spirit, this month and every month, as we continue building a community where everyone belongs.

Mental health shapes how young people learn, build relationships, cope with challenges, and grow. This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re helping raise awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage open conversations around youth mental health.

An estimated 1 in 7 U.S. youth ages 6 to 17 have a mental health disorder, reminding us just how important early support, access to care, and trusted community resources truly are.

Every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and cared for.

As we observe Memorial Day, we take a moment to honor and remember the courageous service members who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice, bravery, and dedication will never be forgotten, and we recognize the lasting impact they have had on generations of families and communities across our nation.

Today, we reflect with gratitude and remembrance as we honor their legacy.

Something magical rolled into Harlem this week! 🎶

Lincoln Center Theater’s “Wheels of a Dream” truck stopped by our Dunlevy Milbank Center, filling the air with tunes from the hit Broadway musical Ragtime. As the songs played, our kids shared their hopes and dreams for the future.
