🌱 April 1st arrives not just with a new month, but with a quiet promise of rebirth and renewal.
As the days grow lighter and the earth begins to soften, this feels like nature’s gentle reminder that we, too, can begin again.
Let go of what no longer serves you. Plant new intentions. Welcome fresh energy, hope, and growth.
Every first day is an invitation—and today, April invites us to bloom. 🌷✨

It's Autism Acceptance Month and I just want to remind you that you are wonderful exactly as you are. Not a watered down, people-pleasing version of you. THE whole you. Thank you for being you.
As many of you know, I have guardianship of my autistic brother - he's in his 30s. And nothing makes me happier than knowing he has the space to be himself. Love you all!

🎉 Waterbury Youth Services is proud to announce the Grand Opening and Expansion of our Youth & Family Emergency Services, Closet of Care-A space intentionally designed to better serve youth and families with compassion, dignity, and care.

As the needs of our community continue to grow, we have expanded our Closet of Care to serve youth up to age 24 and families with youth up to age 24. This expansion was thoughtfully created to provide a family-friendly, department-store style experience, allowing families to access essential items in a welcoming and respectful environment that preserves dignity while meeting real needs.

🗓 Grand Opening: March 20 at 10 AM
📅 Open every 3rd Friday
📍 83 Prospect Street, Waterbury

Families will be able to access essentials including:
🧥 Clothing
🛍 Food
🧼 Hygiene products
…and other items that support stability and well-being.

At Waterbury Youth Services, we believe that how support is provided matters just as much as the support itself. Our goal is to ensure every young person and family who walks through our doors feels valued, respected, and cared for.

📲 Scan the QR code on the flyer to reserve your appointment. We look forward to welcoming our community and continuing to serve with heart. 💜
