Today, June 19, we recognize Juneteenth—the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States.

Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when news of freedom finally reached enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It serves as a reminder that while freedom was declared, it was not delivered equally or immediately.

This past Saturday, June 13, Momentum for Health was proud to participate in the 45th Annual Juneteenth in the Streets Festival, hosted by the African American Community Service Agency (AACSA). It was an inspiring day filled with community, culture, music, education, and joy. We are grateful to have been part of such a vibrant and meaningful celebration, and we congratulate AACSA on a wonderful and successful event.

Juneteenth is an opportunity to come together in honoring freedom while continuing the work toward a more inclusive and equitable future.

Happy Juneteenth!

Nikita came to Parisi House on the Hill with her newborn baby, seeking a path forward. She was determined to keep her son after her older children were removed from her care due to her addiction.

At Parisi House, she found the support she needed to heal and rebuild her life with her son by her side.

Today, Nikita has come full circle—as a staff member at Parisi House, she now helps other mothers take those same courageous first steps toward recovery.

Stories like Nikita’s reflect the impact that compassionate care and community support can have.

If you believe in helping individuals and families build a path forward, we invite you to join us.

👉 This Mental Health Awareness Month, please make a gift to help clients across our programs achieve well-being and stability!

Momentum was thrilled to participate in last week's 15th Annual Behavioral Health Community Heroes Awards hosted by the County Of Santa Clara Behavioral Health Services Division (BHSD) and the Behavioral Health Board (BHB).

This annual celebration honors individuals and organizations making significant contributions to behavioral health in our community. This year's theme was: “Hope in Every Step: Honoring the Journey to Healing."

Congratulations to all the 2026 award recipients, including Assemblymember Gail Pellerin (District 28), pictured below! This work takes a village, and we are grateful to be a part of our community's commitment to hope in every step.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re honoring the strength of the mothers and caregivers we serve — including the moms on our Parisi House on the Hill staff who have walked their own recovery journeys. Their lived experience brings compassion, understanding, and hope to every mom and family they support.

Your generosity helps provide mental health care, substance use support, child development services, and more. Will you join us and make a gift this Mother's Day weekend?

Thank you for your support. Watch the video for a special thank you from our Parisi House team!
