Your Vote Helps Shape the Future of Children's Mental Health.

The decisions made by elected officials can influence the resources, policies, and funding that help children and families access mental and behavioral health services.

At Alexander Youth Network, we see every day how important access to care is for children facing emotional and behavioral health challenges. Voting is one way to make your voice heard on the issues that affect the children, families, and communities we serve.

This Election Day, take a few minutes to:

🌟 Check your voter registration.
🌟 Learn about the candidates and issues on your ballot.
🌟 Make a plan to vote.

The future of children's mental health matters. Make your voice count!

Together, We Build Bridges to Hope and Healing. 💚

Our Charlotte kids recently got to try their hand at disc golf with Coach Dan Vizzini, our Physical Education Instructor!

Coach Dan walked them through the rules, demonstrated how to play, and reminded them that it takes patience and practice to get better. With every throw, the kids had a chance to work on coordination, stay active, try again, and celebrate their progress.

It's about more than learning a new game. Experiences like this help children build confidence, develop patience, and discover what they can accomplish when they keep trying.

A big thank-you to Coach Dan for bringing new activities and opportunities for our kids to learn beyond the classroom! (I do not own the rights to this music)

🎃 Happy Halloween from Alexander Youth Network! 👻

Halloween should be fun, but a little preparation can help keep the night safe for your family.

A few reminders for parents before the trick or treating begins:

✨ Choose well-lit routes and remind kids to stay where you can see them.

✨ Make costumes easy to see. Light colored clothing or reflective details can help kids stand out after dark.

✨ Check candy before they dig in. Take a quick look through treats before your child starts snacking.

✨ Keep younger children close. Little ones may need an extra hand crossing streets or navigating busy areas.

✨ Have a plan. Talk about where you’re going, when you’ll be home and what to do if you get separated.

From our Alexander Youth Network family to yours, have a safe, fun and spooky Halloween!

Spirit Week! 💚🎉

Our employees brought the fun all week long! From Jersey Day and Twinning Tuesday to Wacky Wednesday, Team Spirit Thursday, and some creative Halloween costumes, our teams gave us plenty of reasons to smile.

While our staff spends their days showing up for children and families, Spirit Week gave them a chance to enjoy time with one another, show off their personalities, and celebrate the people they work alongside.

We're grateful for the energy, laughter, and team spirit our employees bring. It's the people behind the work who make this organization special!

Thanks to everyone who participated and shared their photos with us! 💚

💚 Flashback Friday: Look What We Accomplished Together!

We’re taking a look back at a special day when more than 60 volunteers from Motorola Solutions showed up to make a difference at Alexander Youth Network!

During the Galvin Masters Day of Service, these incredible volunteers rolled up their sleeves and helped make our campus brighter and more welcoming for the children and staff who spend time here every day.

From colorful murals and fresh landscaping to new bicycles, updated pool changing rooms and refreshed spaces for outdoor fun, their hard work left a lasting mark on our campus.

But this day was about more than campus improvements. It was about a community coming together to create a space where children can play, explore and make meaningful memories.

To our friends at Motorola Solutions, thank you for giving your time, sharing your talents and investing in our children and staff. Your generosity means so much to our Alexander Youth Network family!
