Every child has a story

Some are filled with laughter and light. Others, heartbreakingly, are not. At HealthFirst, we’re seeing more children struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional distress. The need for pediatric behavioral health services is growing faster than we can meet it – and no child should be told they have to wait to feel better.

That’s why we are asking for your help. Your support of our Annual Appeal will help raise $25,000 to expand our behavioral health department – giving children in our community the care they need, when they need it most.

“The mental health of a child is as important as their physical health. We want children to know that all their emotions are perfectly acceptable, encourage them to take time to process and express their feelings in healthy ways. Protecting mental health promotes physical well being.”
