Young people in our communities are facing real mental health challenges—and community conversations like this matter.

PCH will be on-site at The Riverside Township Mental Health Board’s presentation, “The Kids Are Not Alright,” on Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 1 p.m. at Riverside Town Hall.

Members of our team will be available to share resources and participate in the panel discussion, helping connect families, caregivers, educators, and community members to support, education, and care.

This free presentation will explore the factors affecting youth mental health and highlight local agencies working to meet this moment.

We are grateful to be part of a community committed to supporting young people and ensuring care is accessible when it’s needed most.

Learn more and join the conversation.
