Before stepping into the year ahead, we looked back.

We asked our staff what they’re proud of from this past year, and their reflections capture the moments that mattered most, including milestones reached, meaningful connections, and everyday wins along the way.

As we close out 2025, we invite you to join us. What are you proud of? Share in the comments below as we carry that momentum forward together.

Neurodivergent teens + young adults aren’t behind – they’re different. And often brilliant.

Innovative thinking. Big-picture insight. Pattern recognition. Deep empathy.

Many of the services families rely on at Children’s Health Council are made possible by fundraising.

Winter holiday season at CHC!

Here are a few moments from around CHC—shared conversations, creative energy, and small pauses in the day that bring people together.

Grateful for the community we’re part of and the care that carries us through this time of year.

Social connection supports emotional well-being, yet it does not come easily for everyone. The holidays can heighten feelings of loneliness or stress, and it is completely normal to find connection difficult.

Small, meaningful interactions can reduce isolation and strengthen a sense of belonging. A brief check-in, a shared moment, or an act of kindness can contribute to improved mental health. It does not have to be perfect.

May you find moments of calm, care, and connection this season. We are sending compassionate support to anyone who needs it and holding space for whatever this time brings.

Your support sustains resources that our families rely on.

At CHC, parent support begins with listening. In clinician-guided conversations, parents share lived experience and gain perspective through honest dialogue, with groups focused on anxiety, learning differences, and ADHD, as well as select topics offered in Spanish.

What may start as a single conversation often becomes a source of reassurance and strength that carries into family life. Offered at no cost, this care meets families where they are.

When you give to CHC, you help transform a moment of uncertainty into connection and confidence. Join us in supporting families—donate today to keep these vital conversations going.

For the next two weeks, Children’s Health Council will be operating with limited staffing. Please refer to the message above for care team contact information. For emergencies, call 911.

Thank you for your understanding and continued trust.

Executive function is the brain’s management system—helping us plan, organize, manage emotions, and adapt to change. But for neurodivergent youth,...

Each of these practices can feel small in the moment, but together they create a steady foundation for your child.

Even when days feel messy or progress feels slow, the effort you put into supporting your child truly matters. Little by little, these everyday interactions help them grow stronger, more confident, and better equipped to handle challenges.
