Helping Students and Families Find Success

President & CEO Clara Reynolds discusses programs and support available for students, parents, and teachers as we head into a new school year.

Transforming into a Successful Student

Taylor was connected with the Successful Students program while a patient at Gracepoint. He was a 12-year-old foster kid who was struggling with ongoing behavioral issues such as being disrespectful, dishonest, aggressive, hostile, oppositional, and defiant, all of which was impacting his relationship with his adoptive family and his success in school.

Prioritizing Mental Health During

Hurricane Season

Many of us are feeling extra anxious this hurricane season after last year. While we prepare our homes and supplies, we can also plan how we will take care of our anxiety. We've put together a list of tools to help you manage your mental health throughout hurricane season while staying prepared if a storm is heading this way.

A Glimpse Inside the Gateway Contact Center

My first crisis hotline call caught me off guard. I’d seen the movies: police officers leaning over with headsets, anxious voices in a bustling room, and flashing call lights that never dim. That’s what I imagined when I came to observe the Crisis Center’s Gateway Contact Center on a cloudy Friday morning.



Instead, I stepped into a space that felt more like a family living room than a command hub. Warm lighting. Hushed whispers. Posters on the wall that read: No capes. People want to be heard, not fixed.
