Invest in Our Community This Giving Tuesday

Tomorrow is GivingTuesday, an international day of giving. You will be asked by many worthy organizations for your support, and we kindly ask that you invest in FSG - ensuring that we can continue to remove barriers to mental health care.

To support those in our community who do not have the financial means to access local outpatient mental health care, FSG provides services on a sliding-scale fee, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to accessing vital care. Simply put - our community needs your support!

Today is Small Business Saturday and we hope that our community's small businesses feel a boost today despite the snow storm! Many of these small businesses have supported FSG in some way by donating funds, auction items, and sponsoring our events. We are so grateful for them and encourage the community to support them every day!

As you shop and support the incredible small businesses that make our community special, we hope you’ll also take a moment to think about the nonprofit organizations that strengthen our community in other ways.

Giving Tuesday is coming up, and it’s a wonderful opportunity to give back to the causes you’re passionate about.💛

New Trier Township Food Pantry volunteers, including our incredible FSG interns, came together this week to organize turkeys, groceries, and pies for pantry clients so they can enjoy a warm and abundant Thanksgiving meal.

We’re grateful for a community that shows up for one another. This is the Thanksgiving spirit in action!

Parents of 9-12 year olds - The Connection Club is taking registration now!

The Connection Club is a supportive, skills-based group designed for children ages 9–12 who were just starting school or in the early grades during the pandemic shut-down and may have missed key opportunities to develop social skills in formative years. Many children experienced disrupted peer groups, lost social cues, and fewer chances to practice important skills like turn-taking, sharing space, and building healthy relationships.

This group will focus on strengthening communication and social skills to help children build confidence and foster more positive connections with others.
