At The Center for Counseling & Consultation, we believe everyone deserves access to hope, healing, and support when they need it most. 💚

This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to be part of that mission. Your generosity directly helps children, adults, and families right here in Central Kansas find strength through life’s hardest moments.

In 2024, our team:
🌿 Provided nearly 12,000 therapy sessions — moments of listening, understanding, and growth.
💬 Responded to over 1,800 crisis calls — meeting people where they are, when they need it most.
🏫 Provided nearly 23,000 services to youth and their families through our community-based programs — empowering them to face challenges together and grow stronger through support and care.

Each of these numbers represents a story — a child who found their voice, a parent who regained hope, a neighbor who no longer felt alone.

When you give, you’re not just donating — you’re helping us continue to show up for our community every single day.

Join us and the Golden Belt Community Foundation this Giving Tuesday (December 2) to help us keep cultivating help, hope, and healing across Central Kansas. 💚
