Special Appeal:
Albertina Kerr’s Children’s Mental Health Services

During this historic time, our children’s mental well-being faces new challenges; from the fear of an invisible illness and the fight for racial justice to social isolation and remote learning. For some kids, this new reality is unbearable, worsening their symptoms of anxiety, depression, or suicidal ideation. 

“Everybody coming to us is in such great need.”
– Kari Goldstein, R.N., Nurse Manager for Kerr’s Children’s Mental Health Services

Each year, more than 700 kids (5-17 years) receive life-saving care from Kerr’s dedicated team of children’s mental health professionals—psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, skills trainers and family support specialists. These unsung heroes help children, teens, and their families survive and thrive. 

“I truly believe that Albertina Kerr was a matter of life and death and I feel like we have our life back.”
– Parent of a Children’s Mental Health teen client

Now, more than ever, we need your support to ensure youth facing a mental health crisis have access to Kerr’s essential, life-saving services. That’s why we need to raise $350,000. Your tax-deductible gift will help us expand our children’s mental health services, including adding a clinical supervisor and three more mental health therapists, so we can provide vital care to 200+ more children and teens in the coming year and beyond.  

Thank you!
