🌞 Summer Update from the Drop-In Center 🌞

As summer begins and schedules fill up with camps, activities, vacations, and family fun, we will be pausing our regular Thursday Drop-In Center hours for the summer due to low attendance.

Our final drop-in day before the summer break will be Thursday, June 4.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back when regular drop-in hours resume this fall! Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you have a safe, fun, and enjoyable summer.

Stay tuned for updates as fall approaches!

We are incredibly grateful to have been invited to and recognized at this year’s Downtown Decorah Betterment Association Annual Meeting.

It was such a special evening celebrating the continued growth, passion, and investment in our amazing downtown community. We’re honored that the Chrysalis Children’s Center, a division of Northeast Iowa Behavioral Health, was recognized as part of this progress.

A heartfelt thank you to the Downtown Decorah Betterment Association for the invitation and for all the work you do to support and uplift local businesses and organizations. It’s inspiring to be surrounded by so many individuals and businesses who are dedicated to making Decorah thrive.

We’re proud to be part of this community and excited to continue growing alongside all of you!

Ask your child: “What’s one thing you’re thankful for today?”
Gratitude helps kids shift focus from what’s hard to what’s hopeful.
Whether it’s a friend, a pet, or their favorite snack — noticing small joys strengthens emotional resilience. 🌻
