Hi Friends,

As we reflect on the past year, one theme rises above all others: Rooted in Resilience. Here at ECMHP, resilience is not just a value; it is the foundation of our work and the story of our return from some of the most difficult years in our history.

Thanks to the dedication of our remarkable staff, hundreds of children and families in our community have received life-changing support this year. Our clinicians continue to show extraordinary skill, compassion, and commitment, ensuring that even in times of uncertainty, children and their caregivers have a safe place to find healing and hope.

Because of your generosity last year:

• 500+ families received direct mental health services.
• Hundreds of preschoolers built social-emotional skills to succeed in school.
• Parents and caregivers found support, tools, and hope in the face of stress and trauma.
• Schools, shelters, and child care centers became more resilient through our consultation and partnerships.

Yet, as we celebrate these successes, we must also be honest about the challenges ahead. Cuts to Medicaid and social services across the country threaten the stability of programs that children and families rely on. These changes will have a lasting impact, and we know that our resilience will be tested again.

That is why your support is so critical. Your generosity sustains our mission and ensures that children and families continue to have access to the mental health care they need and deserve. We ask you to stand with us, rooted in resilience, and to be as generous as possible in your giving this year. Every gift makes a profound difference whether it helps a child manage anxiety, supports a parent in crisis, or allows us to keep vital programs available to the community.

On behalf of our Board of Directors and Leadership Team, thank you. Thank you for believing in children’s mental health, for standing with ECMHP, and for sustaining this work in so many ways. Together, we can ensure that the roots we have built remain strong and resilient enough to carry us through whatever lies ahead.

With gratitude,
ECMHP Executive Leadership & The Board of Directors

Dear Community Supporters,

When our community faces challenges, we come together. In light of recent ICE activity that has deeply impacted local families, many are now experiencing increased food insecurity.
To respond, we’ve launched the Emergency Food Support Initiative a community-driven effort to ensure families have access to essential, non-perishable food items during this critical time.

This initiative will run through the holidays and into the new year, as we work to provide consistent support during a season when many families feel the strain most.

We invite you to stand with us by:

• Contributing to help purchase and distribute food supplies
• Connecting us with others who can lend support
• Spreading awareness within your networks and communities

Your support helps strengthen the safety net that keeps our community resilient and united. Together, we can ensure that every family has what they need to feel secure and supported this season and into the year ahead.
Join us in making an impact today!
