This Month at Beech Brook

June 2026

Connecting you to agency updates, parenting tips, resources, and reflections from our CEO

The Power of Connection

At Beech Brook, we know that children thrive when they have supportive adults in their corner. Fathers and father figures can play a meaningful role, but so can grandparents, relatives, mentors, coaches, teachers, and neighbors. Together, these relationships help children build confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging as they navigate life's challenges.



We also know that supporting children means supporting the adults who care for them. Mental health affects every member of a family, and when parents and caregivers have the tools, confidence, and support they need, children benefit as well.

Our latest outcomes, highlighted below, reinforce what we see every day: when children and families receive the right support at the right time, meaningful progress is possible.

As we celebrate Father's Day and recognize Men's Mental Health Month, we encourage everyone to take time to support their own well-being and to check in on the fathers, caregivers, mentors, and role models in their lives. Small acts of connection can have a lasting impact.

Thank you for being part of our mission to help children and families build brighter futures.

Warmly,

Tom Royer, Beech Brook President/CEO



Outcomes Demonstrate Lasting Impact for Children & Families

At Beech Brook, every service we provide is designed to help children and families build stronger foundations for the future. Our latest outcomes data from July through December 2025 show meaningful progress across clinical services and Family Center programs.

Children Are Building Skills and Confidence

Children completing clinical services experienced improvements in emotional well-being, behavior, and daily functioning while building the skills and confidence needed to navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and succeed at home, in school, and in their communities.

Parents Are Feeling More Hopeful

Families are not only receiving support — they are gaining confidence, stability, and hope for the future. Parents who completed services reported feeling better equipped to manage challenges, support their kids, and move forward with optimism.

Family Center Programs Are Strengthening Families

Beech Brook’s parenting and family support programs help families build healthier relationships, manage stress, and create more stable home environments where children can thrive.

More than numbers

Behind every percentage is a child gaining confidence, a parent finding hope, and a family becoming more resilient.

These outcomes reflect the power of prevention, early intervention, and family-centered support—and reinforce Beech Brook's commitment to helping children and families thrive.
