Mark Your Calendar! Erie Gives Day is Tuesday, August 11th

When you support Sarah A. Reed Children's Center on August 11, you're giving children facing mental health, behavioral health, and trauma related challenges the tools they need to thrive. Your generosity makes life changing experiences possible, including therapeutic programs, educational field trips, innovative classroom tools, specialized learning opportunities, and so much more.

Pictured above is a group of students from Sarah Reed's Selden Hope Group at our Residential Campus. They spotted a beautiful double rainbow during a walk around campus last fall! It's a reminder that hope can appear when we least expect it. With the support of our generous donors, we're able to create opportunities for hope, healing, and brighter futures for the children we serve.

One of the favorite activities among the youth in our Residential Treatment Program is equine-assisted therapy at Blended Spirits Ranch in Fairview, PA. Your gift makes experiences like Caitlynn’s possible: 

“My time at Blended Spirits was amazing! When I first started, I was nervous and lacked confidence. Throughout my eight-week session, there were times I felt discouraged, but my mentor, Hope, always lifted me up whenever I was feeling down. By my last week, I felt so confident! Horse therapy truly helped me overcome my anxiety and worries. Thank you so much for this opportunity!”
