 AS WE ENTER THE SECOND YEAR OF THE PANDEMIC

Regretfully, we cannot safely come together for our annual Gala, but urgently ask for your renewed commitment to Arlington Youth Counseling Center. While there have been great strides in the fight against COVID-19, we are facing an unprecedented youth mental health crisis in its wake. 

NOW MORE THAN EVER, AYCC NEEDS YOUR HELP 

As a trusted and critical resource in the community, AYCC is here to help every child, every teen, and every concerned family member whose lives have been disrupted by the effects of anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health challenges. 

OVER THE PAST YEAR ALONE AYCC HAS:

* Conducted over 8000 counseling and psychiatry sessions- 500 more than the previous year

* Increased accessibility to therapy by expanding telehealth and school-based counseling

* Helped over 100 Arlington households address unmet basic needs through resource coordination and case management services

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT

Your generosity and commitment ensure that every child, teen, and family in Arlington have access to outstanding, affordable mental health care and other support services in a time of crisis. Together, we believe we can make a lasting difference.
