If I could channel Julie Andrews for a moment, I would say that strategic planning is one of my favorite things. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of facilitating a strategy session with the leadership at Coastal Horizons to map out the impact they want to make over the next three years. I can’t thank this team enough for the work they do in the community, and the thoughtfulness and importance they are bringing to this process. When you see a group of leaders commit to a four-hour session in the morning, you know they mean business 💪☀️🙌 #strategy #strategicplanning #mindfulleadership #createspace #consultinglife Elizabeth Redenbaugh Clare Jordan

Coastal Horizons' Management Team and Strategic Planning Committee of our Board of Trustees came together this morning for a pivotal meeting to shape the future of our organization.

At Child First, we're proud to recognize Children’s Mental Health Acceptance Week. This week, we're shining a spotlight on the importance of supporting mental well-being from the earliest years, because mental health matters at every stage of life. Acceptance is more than just awareness; it inspires action. While awareness is passive, acceptance drives us to make meaningful changes and create a more supportive environment for children and families facing mental health challenges. Join us this week as we raise awareness, foster acceptance, and take action to support children's mental health. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of children and families across our communities.

Huge congratulations to our colleagues at Coastal Horizons! We're thrilled to announce that both our Family Re-Entry Support and Help (FRESH) program and our Recidivism Reduction Services (RRS) program received certificates at last week's reentry conference hosted by the Department of Adult Correction (DAC). It was a delightful surprise to learn about this recognition when both programs were announced during the banquet. We're incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication that our teams put into making a positive impact in our community every day. Here's to more success and continued excellence in our mission to support and uplift those we serve! #CoastalHorizons #FRESHprogram #RRSprogram #Recognition #CommunityImpact
