It's easy to forget but the real magic of this season comes from something other than running yourself ragged to do all the things

It’s celebration season here at Daybreak — and we have another milestone to share! 🎉

Our incredible interns, Jeremy and Alex, have officially passed their licensure exams and are now T-LMHCs! Watching them grow, learn, and pour their hearts into every client along the way has been such a privilege. We are honored to continue walking beside them as their supervisors and cheering them on as they begin this next chapter in their professional journey.

Even better? Both Jeremy and Alex will be accepting new clients starting in January! We couldn’t be more excited for the impact they’ll continue making in our community.

Help us celebrate this huge achievement!! 💛

❄️ The holidays can be magical… but they can also be overwhelming.
If you’re feeling the weight of the season, you don’t have to wait for things to “calm down” to start feeling better. Healing can begin right in the middle of life’s snowstorms. 🤍

At Daybreak, we believe therapy is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, space to breathe, grow, heal, and feel supported.

✨ We currently have openings with Alexis L., LISW, who specializes in:
• Play Therapy & child-focused care
• ADHD, Boundaries and Family Conflict
• Grief & loss support
• Trauma-informed approaches for all ages

Whether you or your child need a steady hand during a stressful season, Alexis offers compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your needs.

Give yourself (or your family) the gift of support this winter. You deserve it

We are honored to be partnering up with Clive Community Services to have a food pantry donation box in our lobby to help those affected by the SNAP benefits pause!! If you feel able and wanting, please bring in non perishable items to the box by our front door! They have told us they are extra in need of canned vegetables and beans, as well as rice and baking items like flour, sugar, seasonings, etc. Thank you for your support of others who are struggling!

🚨 URGENT: Our Food Pantry Needs Your Help! 🚨

The government shutdown means many families won’t receive their SNAP benefits — and furloughed government workers are now turning to food pantries as their paychecks are delayed.

As we head into November — our busiest month of the year — Clive Community Services expects to see more families than ever before, including many who have never needed our help until now.

🍎 How You Can Help TODAY:
🛒 Shop the sales at Hy-Vee, Aldi, or Walmart — even one can or one box makes a real difference.
💛 Make a financial donation and earmark it for food purchase only — 100% will go directly toward keeping our shelves stocked.

Together, we can make sure kids and families in our community don’t go hungry. ❤️

📦 Donation Hours:

Monday: 9:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Wednesday: 9:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.

Friday: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

If you’d like to donate outside of these times, please call us — we’ll make it work.

🙏 Thank you for showing up when our community needs it most. Every can, every dollar, every act of kindness matters.
