#CATCHisCommunity #mentalhealthmatters

Talking with teens doesn’t always require the perfect words. Sometimes it’s one thoughtful text. One open-ended question.

🧭 PHP? IOP? Residential? These terms can feel overwhelming. In this short clip from our last Lunch and Learn When Once-A-Week Therapy Isn't Enough, Josh Novick, LCPC, breaks down what each level of mental health care really means-simply and clearly. 🎥 Watch here:

Looking for some reading (or listening) during these cold winter months? Cozy up with a book that helps move tech conversations from reactive to intentional. #CATCHisCommunity #KidsandTech

Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is be yourself. #Catchiscommunity #Welikeyou

New year, same kids. Focus on the small things that help them feel seen and supported. #CATCHisCommunity #Parenting

💬 Stigma. School disruption. Logistics. These challenges hold many families back from seeking higher levels of care.

Back to school after a break can feel like a full system reboot, for kids and parents. Some students bounce back fast. Others need a little more runway. Both are normal.

Winter asks us to slow down whether we planned to or not. Self-care doesn’t have to be big or impressive. It can be a walk outside, even when it’s cold. A movie night that brings everyone onto the same couch. A quiet moment with a book and a warm drink.

It's true! #CATCHisCommunity #YouMatter

As we close out 2025, and welcome in 2026, can you find the moments of hope, happiness, and joy? Comment below with a glimmer you found today. #CATCHisCommunity #Glimmer

Awareness isn’t about slogans. It’s about starting conversations people are afraid to have. This year, thousands of students and families engaged with #CATCH through school partnerships, community events, and youth-led initiatives. Normalizing mental health and reminding kids they’re not alone.

There’s still time to make a difference before 2025 ends. Your year-end donation helps CATCH provide: • Parents Connect groups • Comfort Kits and Coping Kits • Community education and trainings • Mental health resources used by thousands

When parents have the right tools, families thrive. Through speakers, workshops, digital resources, and our podcast, CATCH equips caregivers with guidance they can actually use.

Giving can boost your mood and make a difference. Perform small acts of kindness this season. #catchiscommunity #MentalHealthMatters

Support changes everything. In 2025, #CATCH delivered comfort and coping kits, facilitated Parents Connect peer groups, and helped families find care when they felt stuck and overwhelmed.

The holiday season can be a mix of joy and overwhelm. Remember, it’s okay to take a step back and prioritize your mental well-being. If things feel too much, reach out for support. #catchiscommunity #MentalHealthMatters

This is what your support made possible in 2025.

We are deeply grateful to our program partners, event sponsors, volunteers, board members, and donors who made #CATCH’s 2025 impact possible.

#CATCH exists to support families, build resilience, and prioritize mental health, before crisis becomes the norm. As we head into a new year, your donation helps ensure families continue to have access to education, resources, and community support.

What is an easy (free!) gift we can give our kids this holiday season? Time off from reading logs, studying, practicing.... Let's give our kids the gift of less scheduling and more relaxing this winter break. #CATCHisCommunity #FamilyReset

Depression doesn’t always look the way we expect. Sometimes it’s quiet, hidden, and managed with every bit of strength a person has.

2025 showed us what’s possible when families don’t face mental health challenges alone. Because of this community, CATCH delivered support, education, and real tools to parents and kids when they needed it most.

It's final exam week for our GBN and GBS high school students. Remember that one week of tests does not define you.  Use these study break tools to help you take care of yourself: https://catchiscommunity.org/resources/carter/#study-breaks #GBN #GBS #CATCHisCommunity

GBN and GBS students are taking their semester exams next week, and Carter’s message hits home: rest fuels memory and focus. 🧠💤 Remind your student that short breaks aren’t slacking, they’re science. A balanced brain learns better.

As Note Your Feelings wraps up next week, we’re feeling grateful for every message shared, every honest word, and every student who took part.  Let’s keep the conversation going, because caring for our mental health isn’t just a campaign, it’s a daily practice. #CATCHisCommunity #NoteYourFeelings

💜 You didn’t fail — you’re stepping up support.

Today, and every day, we’re grateful for this incredible CATCH community- for the small wins, big moments, and everything in between.  Thank you for helping us create spaces where families feel supported and seen. #CATCHisCommunity #Gratitude #Thanksgiving #CATChisCommunity #Gratitude

This month, #CATCH's #Carter reminds #GBN and #GBS students that naming a feeling doesn’t make it stronger, it makes it lighter. Encourage your teen to write or talk about what they feel.

Behind every #CATCH initiative is a team driven by compassion, creativity, and care. We’re grateful for our dedicated staff and board who bring our mission to life every day, building a community where children’s mental health and well-being come first.

#CATCH is so grateful for the voices that inspire, educate, and connect our community. Each conversation, story, and insight shared helps break stigma and opens the door to understanding. Thank you for helping us keep these important discussions going.

10 days until #GivingTuesday and this year, #CATCHisCommunity asking our community to stand with families who shouldn’t have to navigate their child’s mental health journey alone. Every share, every donation, every conversation matters.

Knowing when and how to take the next step in your child’s mental health journey can be confusing but you don’t have to figure it out alone. In our latest CATCH Lunch & Learn, Josh Novick, LCPC, shares how parents can reduce stigma, and find the right level of care with confidence.

To our amazing volunteers, thank you for showing up, speaking up, and helping make every CATCH event possible. Your time, energy, and dedication remind us of what community in action truly looks like. We couldn’t do this without you! #CATCHisCommunity #Gratitude2025 #Volunteers

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is slow down. Take the nap. Eat lunch away from your desk. Step outside for a breath of fresh air.  Your well-being matters to you, your family, and your community. #CATCHisCommunity #SelfCare

Gratitude to those who believe in our mission and make our work possible. Your generosity fuels programs that support mental health, connection, and resilience for families in our community.

Gratitude season is the perfect time to pause and check in with yourself and with others.  Next month, #CATCH is bringing Note Your Feelings back to our Northbrook and Glenview 6th-12th graders.
