✨ Where We Started vs. Where We Are Now! ✨

What an incredible journey of growth, dedication, and purpose! 💚

We are beyond honored and grateful to have been selected by TFCN as recipients of the 2026 TACFS Community Service Award, presented at the TCCAC Conference! 🏆

What started as a vision has grown into a mission of making a difference in the lives of children, families, and our communities.

This recognition reminds us that hard work, faith, and a heart for serving others never go unnoticed. We are just getting started! 🙌🏽 more award photos coming!

❤️🖤💚 Happy Juneteenth! ❤️🖤💚

Today, Ascend Community Group, LLC proudly celebrates Juneteenth, a day that honors freedom, resilience, hope, and the enduring strength of the African American community.

As we reflect on the significance of June 19, 1865, we recognize the sacrifices of those who came before us and celebrate the progress made while continuing to advocate for equity, unity, and opportunity for all.

At Ascend Community Group, we remain committed to empowering individuals, strengthening families, and uplifting our communities through compassion, support, and access to quality behavioral health services.

May we continue to learn from our history, celebrate our culture, and rise together toward a brighter future.

✨ Happy Juneteenth from the Ascend Community Group family! ✨

We are grateful

Our 80s/90s Music Bingo event would not be possible without the people and organizations who stand beside us every single day and we want to give a very special thank you to Ascend Community Group & Step Forward Treatment Center for everything they do for Merrick Movement and our community. 🍊❤️

Not only will they be joining us at Music Bingo with a table at the event, but they are also trusted partners when it comes to helping individuals and families in need. From substance abuse treatment and mental health services to therapy sessions, emergency stays, support resources, and so much more — they are constantly changing lives and helping people take steps toward healing.

We are incredibly thankful for Dana LaPoint-Teate & Athina LaPoint-Gardiner, who both serve on the Merrick Movement Foundation board and continuously pour their hearts into this mission. Their compassion, dedication, and support go far beyond this event, and we truly could not do this without them.

Thank you for believing in Merrick Movement, supporting our community, and helping us make a difference every single day. 🫶
