Together, we can make a difference for youth mental wellness!

It’s tough being a kid these days.

And it’s tough being a parent who can’t access mental health resources promptly. It’s tough being a teacher or guidance counselor who is now responsible for filling that mental health gap with few-to-no additional resources. None of us can do this work alone. But we can do it together.

When she founded The Chris Center three years ago, Nancy Elbert reminded us what it’s like for families who can’t access mental health services for their children in need. We can’t solve the mental health crisis, but we can add a layer of help…a layer of support.

Nancy and her family want to help double your impact. The Elbert Family — in memory of their son, brother, dad, uncle, and friend, Chris Elbert - will match your donation, up to $5,000!

We are truly stronger together.

Please support our end-of-year giving campaign with a donation that is meaningful to you. Every donation directly supports our animal-assisted and nature-based programming. With a few clicks, you can donate to improve the mental well-being of teens and pre-teens.
