🎃👻 It may be spooky season, but there’s nothing scary at VYS! 👻🎃

This week we hosted our 2nd Annual Halloween Event, and it was a spooktacular success! 🕸️✨ The VYS teams let their creativity shine—bringing to life everything from the Land of Far Far Away, to the World of Pixar, Illumination Studios, some magical witches, and even a blast from the past!

We loved opening our doors to the children, teens, parents, and caregivers we serve. Families arrived in costume, joined in games, and of course enjoyed plenty of sweet treats! 🍭🎨💫

At VYS, we know that mental health care is more than therapy sessions—it’s about building connection, joy, and belonging. Events like this help strengthen those positive relationships and give children and families a chance to relax, express themselves, and simply have fun together. 🧠💜

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event so special. Seeing the laughter, smiles, and excitement reminded us just how powerful community and creativity can be in supporting mental well-being. 💜🧡💚

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, and today, we walked with purpose. 💛
At VYS, one of our core missions is to support those in need and take action to prevent su***de. In recognition of World Su***de Prevention Day (September 10), our team came together to participate in the NAMI Su***de Awareness Run—a 5K walk through the heart of Visalia.

Fueled by coffee, compassion, and our commitment to mental health, we walked in solidarity for those affected by su***de and to raise awareness for the importance of prevention and support.

💚 If you or someone you know is struggling, you're not alone. Help is always available.
📞 National 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline – Call or text 988 for free, confidential support 24/7.
📞 VYS Youth Crisis & Mental Health Services – Call us at 559-627-1490 for local support and resources.

Together, we’re stronger. Together, we can make a difference.

As we gear up to support our amazing kiddos heading back to school, our team at Visalia Youth Services got into the spirit—literally! 🚌📚✨

🏈 Sports Day – We kicked things off repping our favorite teams and showing off our competitive spirit!
👯‍♀️ Twin Day – Staff paired up in matching outfits—double the fun, double the smiles!
🐭 Disney Day – From Mickey ears to princess crowns, we embraced the magic of childhood.
🎩 Crazy Hair & Hat Day – We closed out the week with wild hairstyles and the most outrageous hats we could find!

It was a fun and meaningful way to reconnect as a team and get excited for the important work we do every day. We’re ready and recharged to continue providing compassionate care and support for our youth this school year. 💙

That's why this month, we launched our "Lucky Little Liam" — a playful leprechaun hidden around our clinic for our staff to find, along with a special surprise. 🍀✨ It's these little moments of fun that keep our team chasing the rainbow and bringing their best to our community every day! 🌈
