Kids and teens do not always have the words to say, "I'm struggling."

Sometimes it looks like pulling away. Sleeping more or less than usual. Acting angry, overwhelmed, or suddenly quiet. Losing interest in things they used to enjoy. Giving things away. Saying things that sound hopeless, even casually.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, and it is a good reminder that noticing changes matters. You do not have to have the perfect words. You can start with something simple:

"I've noticed you seem different lately. I'm here, and I want to understand."

Checking in does not create a problem. It creates a doorway.

If you or someone you love needs immediate support, call or text 988. For ongoing care and support, our Center for Resilience team is here at (530) 232-0525.

If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to help a child and a family heal after something terrible has happened, I want to tell you a little about that today.

I'm Kimberly Johnson, CEO of Children's Legacy Center, and our team has been doing that work in Shasta County for ten years.

This September marks our first fundraising event, and it's an invitation for our community to be part of what comes next. Every dollar we raise goes directly back into the families we serve.

If you'd like to join us, please reach out soon. Table sponsorships need names by August 30, and I would love to have you there.

Thank you to Ellislaine for the collaboration on this Reel.

Join local leaders, residents, families, and organizations for an inspiring evening centered on the science of hope, connection, and belonging. Together, we'll explore how Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) strengthen individuals, families, and communities—and discover practical ways we can move from awareness to action.
Whether you're a parent, educator, healthcare provider, community leader, or simply someone who cares about the future of Shasta County, your voice and participation matter. Let's build a community where every child—and every family—has the opportunity to thrive! Register at https://bit.ly/StrengtheningFamiliesOct2026 and invite a friend!

Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of hosting the Anderson Chamber of Commerce at our Children's Advocacy Center! 🤍 We're so thankful for the opportunity to share the important work we do here at Children's Legacy Center, and for a community that shows up to learn more about protecting and advocating for kids.

Thank you for visiting us, Anderson Chamber of Commerce!

Yesterday morning, I joined the Anderson Chamber Greeters at the Children’s Legacy Center.

Words really don’t do justice to the work this team is doing for children and families who find themselves in need of their services. It was powerful to see the care, commitment, and heart behind their mission.

Thank you to Kimberly and the entire team for your continued fight for children and families in our community.
