To explore this perspective more deeply, tune in to our Voices of Compassion episode, “The Problem with Overcoming: Learning to Value Your Differences.”

At CHC, every step forward matters. With the right support, kids, teens, and families begin to see what’s possible again — and your generosity helps pave the pathway to hope.

Earlier this week, we celebrated Catherine T. Harvey as she was honored by Akris and inducted into their Women with Purpose community for the many ways she gives back to the community—especially through her work at CHC.

Catherine’s leadership, generosity, and unwavering commitment to supporting the mental health of children and families across the Bay Area continue to make a profound impact. We’re grateful that CHC was the recipient of the event’s proceeds and proud to honor Catherine’s inspiring dedication.

Guests enjoyed an inspiring conversation with Catherine along with a beautiful fashion show by AKRIS. We are deeply grateful to Wilkes Bashford for hosting this special evening and for donating a portion of event sales to support CHC’s mission.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in recognizing Catherine and the powerful work that Women with Purpose uplifts. This global community was created to shine a light on extraordinary women who are reshaping industries, communities, and lives.

Finals season is upon us, and it can feel especially overwhelming for students with ADHD. A few simple strategies can make studying more manageable and help maintain focus.

Movement breaks like stretching, taking a short walk, or doing something hands-on can help reset attention during longer sessions. Setting one clear goal for each study block creates direction, and breaking tasks into smaller steps with a checklist can make big assignments feel more doable.

These small shifts can bring more structure and calm to a busy week of preparation. Discover how personalized learning can help you: https://www.chconline.org/schwab-learning-center/

Real world learning comes to life at Sand Hill School!

Our students in the Entrepreneur Crafting Elective are getting practical experience running their own mini businesses. They design and create handmade products, set prices, and sell their items at a student pop up shop using Stingray Points.

Along the way, they discover what works and what does not when it comes to pricing, demand, creativity, and customer experience. It is a fun, confidence-building way to develop valuable real world skills.

Grief isn’t something you can fix – it’s something you move through, together. 💛

As Karly Crockett, LCSW, reminds us: “The gift you can give your child is the space for them to be who they are, where they’re at in their process.”

When we make room for kids to feel their feelings – big or small – we teach them that every emotion belongs.
