“Begin. The rest is easy.” — George Jenkins

This powerful quote captures the spirit that led to the creation of Robert’s Place 10 years ago. Taking that first step—building a safe, healing space for children and youth in crisis—wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. Since then, hundreds of young lives have been supported, nurtured, and protected thanks to the commitment of our community.

Join us as we celebrate a decade of impact and honor those who believed in the mission from the very beginning.

Many families were affected by yesterday’s violent events, whether they were in attendance for the parade or not. It's crucial to recognize youth responses to trauma, as children and teens may have varying reactions.

Wyandot BHN has created two free printable resources for your use. One focuses on how trauma can manifest in adults and steps you can take to help you process what happened and move forward. The other printable shares information on common reactions among children and teens, along with ways you can offer support. You can view the resources here: https://bit.ly/3OLDBWe.
