Join us as we celebrate Rachel's third CAPAversary! As our Intake Therapist, she helps community members take the first step toward getting services, even when the need is great and the work is tough. Rachel shows up each day with care, patience, and a strong desire to help, always focusing on what she can do to support both clients and coworkers.

Rachel is a steady source of support for our entire team. Her coworkers describe her as kind, dependable, and always willing to help, whether that means finding the best fit for a client, answering questions and solving problems, or lending a hand wherever it’s needed. CAPACares is stronger because of her. We are so grateful for all that you do, Rachel!

It's International Play Therapy Week!

Play therapists utilize tools like art supplies, sand tables, and creative activities to help kids play out their thoughts and emotions. It's a safe space, where kids can just be themselves, while learning about problem solving, dealing with tough feelings, and handling life’s ups and downs.

Play therapists also help caregivers learn how to support the kids in their lives on their healing journey. While it’s great for kids, it’s a big help for families, too!

In his April 1963 Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

This truth guides our work every day as we strive to create a future where all children are safe, loved, and supported. When we help heal the trauma experienced by today’s kids and families, we’re also helping prevent trauma for generations yet to come.

Our offices are closed today, but if you are in immediate crisis, please call 911, go to your nearest emergency room, or call/text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

MCC Chancellor Dr Kimberly Beatty and featured guest Hill Harper both spoke about the importance of education, the legacy of Dr King, and our responsibility to “answer the call.”
