We know how stressful it can be when fear of needles gets in the way of medical care. The good news: real, practical progress is possible.

We’re now in the ❕ final recruitment phase❕ for our Needle Anxiety Clinic - designed to help children & teens feel calmer and more in control during blood draws, vaccines, and other procedures.

Participants learn step-by-step strategies to:
• Reduce anxiety before and during appointments
• Build confidence with medical procedures
• Feel more prepared (instead of overwhelmed)

Spots are limited as we finalize this group.

Next step: Complete the inquiry form on our website to see if this program is the right fit.

We welcome all parents & caregivers to join us for our parent workshop on coping ahead for summer on April 15th at 12PM!

In this workshop, we’ll explore common emotional & behavioral patterns that arise for youth during the summer months - such as changes in routine, increased screen time, and social challenges. Learn how therapy can support healthy structure, emotional regulation, and resilience during this transition, and walk away with practical strategies to help your child thrive over the summer break.

Grief can feel isolating - especially as an adult, when life keeps moving & there’s little space to process what you’re carrying.

You don’t have to hold it all on your own.

Our adult (18+) summer grief group offers a supportive space to talk, build practical coping skills, and feel more steady day to day, alongside others who understand what loss can feel like.

If you’re navigating grief, this can be a place to start feeling a little less alone.

This Social Work Month, we’re recognizing the people who show up every day for individuals, families, & communities - often in moments that feel overwhelming.

This year’s theme, “Uplift. Defend. Transform,” is a powerful reminder of what social workers do in real life.

🏋️‍♀️ Uplift: helping people feel seen, supported, and capable of moving forward
🛡️ Defend: advocating for access, dignity, and care when it matters most
💬 Transform: creating meaningful, lasting change in people’s daily lives

At Concord Center, we see this work every day - in the steady progress of a child returning to school, a teen learning to manage strong emotions, or a parent feeling more confident at home.

If you’re a social worker, thank you. Your work matters more than most people see.

If you’re a parent, caregiver, or young adult looking for support, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Complete the inquiry form on our website for support 🙂

Happiness isn’t just a feeling—it’s a goal we all share. 💛

The United Nations created the International Day of Happiness to recognize that well-being matters for everyone, everywhere. The day reminds us that true progress means supporting people’s health, relationships, and quality of life—not just economic growth.

Today is a good reminder to check in with yourself and the people around you. Small moments of connection, kindness, and support can make a real difference.

What if understanding trichotillomania didn’t start with a textbook - but with a story?

🎭 Trich is a solo show that brings the experience of hair pulling to life in a deeply human, relatable way. Through theater, it helps audiences see what’s often hidden - building awareness, empathy, & a clearer understanding of body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs).

If you or your child are navigating hair pulling, learning about it in a way that feels real (not clinical) can be a powerful first step.

Want to go deeper into what BFRBs are—and what actually helps?
Read our blog: https://concordcenter.com/2026/01/06/support-for-bfrbs/

At Concord Center, we focus on practical strategies that help people gain more control, reduce shame, and feel steadier day to day.

This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the women who lead, care, advocate, and support others every day.

From clinicians and educators to mothers, caregivers, and mentors, women play a powerful role in strengthening communities. Their compassion, resilience, and leadership shape the world around us.

At The Concord Center, we’re grateful for the women who guide, support, and inspire the people we serve. 🙆‍♀️ 🤍
