2026 Raising Resilience: A Rooftop Benefit was a wonderful success!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an uplifting afternoon of networking, connection, and shared purpose alongside community leaders, educators, clinicians, and advocates committed to supporting youth and families.

Together, we celebrated the power of evidence-based resilience programming and strengthened partnerships that help expand access to the tools children and communities need to thrive.

We are deeply grateful for your support and belief in the mental health of children and communities. Thank you for joining us on the rooftop — we can’t wait to see you next year!

Thank you to our 2026 Sponsors!
