Happy 25th CAPAversary, Mindy!

Since joining CAPACares as a home visitor in 2001, Mindy has been an integral part of our growth and a true embodiment of our mission. Over the past quarter century, she has led with heart, lifted up everyone around her, and made a lasting difference in the lives of the families and community we serve.

We got to surprise Mindy with a celebratory lunch earlier this week. The best part? Her family was able to join us! We took a trip down memory lane, with Mindy and other longtime colleagues sharing stories from throughout the years.

Warm, genuine, and with legendary fashion sense, Mindy is the kind of person who lights up every room she walks into. We are so grateful for her 25 years of dedication, compassion, and leadership. Here's to Mindy!

Did you know? We can bring therapy directly to your student.

We're proud to partner with Independence School District, Raytown C-2 School District, and Fort Osage School District.

We know how busy life can be, and offering therapy in schools means you don't have to miss work or manage transportation, and a kid you love can get the support they need in a place they already know.

If you're interested in school-based therapy, or you think accessible mental health is important and you'd like to join our monthly giving program, you can do all that and more on our new website: capacares.org!
