💙 Where Compassion Meets Community.

At NESS Cares, our mission is simple yet powerful — to provide meaningful resources in mental health and special education so families, educators, and communities can thrive.

Founded by Dr. Desirie Sykes, behavior consultant, advocate, and speaker, NESS Cares bridges the gap in access to support through:
✨ Parent and caregiver workshops
✨ Trauma-informed behavioral strategies
✨ Community outreach programs
✨ Special education advocacy

With over 15 years of experience in behavioral health and education, Dr. Sykes continues to empower families with tools rooted in compassion, structure, and understanding.

Together, we are building environments where children and adults can grow with dignity and strength.
