💛✨ Welcome to CHD, Patrick! ✨💛

When we sat down with Patrick, his heart for people was unmistakable. Before entering the behavioral health field, Patrick dedicated 15 years to OPS, starting as a para, growing into a behavioral skills specialist, and eventually becoming a basketball coach. No matter the role, one thing remained constant: his deep love for working with kids. 🏀💫

Patrick shared a pivotal moment from his first para job at Miller Park Elementary. At the time, he admits it was “just a job.” That shifted when he met a young boy in need who began to take after him. Suddenly, Patrick realized someone was watching him, looking up to him, and depending on him. That awareness changed everything and awakened a lifelong commitment to caring for people in pain.

A nonnegotiable for Patrick when helping others is honesty. He values openness and absolutely no judgment, believing real change happens when people are allowed to be their full selves. “That’s the most meaningful impact we can have. Being able to see where people have started and where they end up is a great feeling.”

Patrick’s journey to CHD was deeply intentional. Though he initially applied for a different role, Doris had other plans and interviewed him for Operations Manager. Within moments, Patrick knew something was different. Her heart posture stood out, and that was when he knew CHD was different too.

Now at CHD, Patrick hopes to align even more fully with his purpose while growing community impact. He leans heavily on his faith, reminding himself, “the more humble I become, the more God can use me.” As Operations Manager, Patrick focuses on creating structure that supports staff who carry significant emotional labor, fostering open communication, accountability, and success. He believes a safe workplace is built on truth, structure, security, and grace. “Working together requires grace to grow and learn.” With steady, service rooted leadership, Patrick is helping shape a CHD culture that is less transactional and more communal, grounded in meaningful work and shared responsibility. 🤝🌱

🌟 January is National Mentoring Month 🌟

At CHD, mentoring is not about having all the answers.
It is about showing up consistently, listening deeply, and walking alongside someone as they grow.

Our GrandFriends Program invites elders and seasoned adults to share wisdom, culture, and real-life guidance with young adults who benefit from trusted support.

💬 Sometimes mentorship looks like advice.
💬 Sometimes it looks like laughter, stories, or simply being present.

👵🏾🤝🏽👧🏽 When generations connect, healing and hope travel both ways.

💛✨ Welcome to CHD, Jazmyne! ✨💛

Some people introduce themselves by their titles. Jazmyne introduces herself by her heart. When asked who she is beyond credentials and roles, Jazmyne shared that she is creative, kind, and deeply considerate. She finds joy in doing things that are thoughtful and intentional, especially when it comes to showing up for the people she loves most.

Jazmyne has a natural gift for noticing what others need and showing up in thoughtful, meaningful ways. She shared a moment that beautifully reflects who she is at her core. While pregnant herself, she noticed a close friend who was also expecting, preparing to welcome twins and clearly feeling overwhelmed. Jazmyne observed the need and chose to meet it the best way she knew how. She created a basket filled with her friend’s favorite pick-me-ups, offering comfort, encouragement, and a quiet reminder that she was not alone. 💞

At the center of everything Jazmyne does is a deep belief in the power of listening. She shared that people often need someone to simply listen when they are struggling, without rushing to fix or respond. She believes that being fully present can do wonders.

Coming to CHD was not planned, but it was purposeful. After receiving a recommendation from her neighbor, she took a chance. With a background in administrative roles but no prior experience in behavioral health, Jazmyne knew she was ready for a change of pace and scenery. More than anything, she wanted to be part of something meaningful. When she arrived at CHD, she shared that it immediately felt like what she had been searching for all along. 🌱

In this current season of life, Jazmyne is most excited about being a new mom and watching her one-year-old daughter, Jayla, grow and reach milestones. Learning and experiencing life together has been a beautiful journey. 👩🏽‍🍼✨ Jazmyne hopes her time at CHD will continue to support her personal and professional growth and allow her to show up fully and unapologetically as herself.

Please join us in giving a warm CHD welcome to Jazmyne Coker, our new Administrative Specialist. We are so grateful she is here! 💚

🥂 Cheers to the year 2026 — a year of intention, growth, and becoming. ✨

✨ A New Year. A New Mindset. A Gentle Beginning. ✨

As we step into this new year, we’re choosing to wrap up our doubts and send them away.
The fears. The “what ifs.” The things that told us we weren’t ready.

We enter this season with a renewed mind, an open heart, and a commitment to humble beginnings—knowing that growth doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.

The start of a new year is an invitation:
• To be intentional with our time
• To stay open to what’s possible
• To welcome what’s new with courage and care
• To plant seeds—even before we see the harvest

May this year be guided by purpose, patience, and presence.
We don’t have to have it all figured out—just the willingness to begin.

Here’s to starting the year on purpose ✨

💐 Honoring 15 Years of Service & Legacy — Sandra Coaxum Allen, JD 💐

As we celebrate the retirement of Sandra Allen, JD, our Director of Operations, we pause with deep gratitude for a woman whose leadership, faith, and presence have been woven into the heart of the Center for Holistic Development for the past 15 years. 🌿

Sandra’s journey to CHD was guided by faith and purpose. After relocating from Detroit to Omaha in support of her husband, Pastor Kenneth Allen, Sr., she was introduced to CHD through a church connection and, after prayerful confirmation, accepted what she describes as a place where “God planted her.” From that moment on, her work became a true labor of love. 💛

Over the years, Sandra wore many hats—often quietly carrying more than most knew. She witnessed CHD’s most challenging seasons behind the scenes, seeing the numbers, the strain, and the weight of uncertainty. Yet through resilience, flexibility, and grace, CHD persevered. Through every challenge and change, CHD has continued to serve the community even in its hardest moments. 🙏🏾 ✨

Sandra helped shape CHD’s culture through her positive spirit, integrity, and ability to help others feel comfortable being themselves. Rooted in faith and strengthened by her role as a pastor’s wife, she brought calm, encouragement, and consistency into every space. She prides herself on being the same person everywhere she goes—compassionate, grounded, and authentic. 🌸

CHD also taught Sandra something profound: that peace matters. She chose a supportive, trusting work environment over higher pay or titles, knowing what CHD offered was rare and special. 💫

To Black women stepping into leadership, Sandra shares this wisdom: “Discover who you are, be comfortable in that, and expand on that.” She reminds us that knowing who you are is a game-changer—and that your work will always speak for itself.

We are deeply grateful for 15 years of dedication, faith-filled leadership, and heart. Please join us in giving Sandra Allen, JD, a heartfelt CHD round of applause as we celebrate her legacy and wish her a joyful, well-deserved retirement. Thank you for being an indelible part of the CHD family. 💜👏🏾
