As an organization, so much of what we do is rooted in advocacy for social justice on both the macro and micro levels. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was and still remains an individual who we honor not only today but everyday. 🙏

Meet Melissa! Melissa Keilty is TTYSB’s new Wellness and Prevention Director! When asked why she enjoys working in prevention, she had this to say:

“I wanted to work as a Wellness and Prevention Director because I have a chance to use data-driven measures to identify and preserve protective factors. I enjoy helping youth cultivate leadership skills and advocate for inclusive policy recommendations.”

In her free time Melissa enjoys hiking, exploring new towns, and photography! ✨

We are so thankful to have Melissa as a key part of our team at TTYSB!✨

Hi friends!

With the new year upon us, we want to hear from you!

In the comments, even with just a few words, what are you looking for from the local organizations (like us) that you follow?

✨ Is it humor?
✨ Is it local events?
✨ Do you like photos of our events?
✨Is it to make connections locally?
✨Is it to inspire ideas or find faith in humanity?
✨It's animal memes, isn't it?

Whatever the reason, we want to hear from you! Sure, the research is available but we want to hear from our community, you are the voices that matter most to us!

When we learn to manage our minds and embrace life with its ups and downs with a growth mindset, success presents itself in love, happiness, and confidence, and that's a big win.💗

Sometimes Tuesdays call for sending Thank yous!✨

A giant thank you to Paulson Training Programs, Inc. in Chester, as well as the Eagan Family Charitable Foundation Trust for their recent donations to Tri-Town Youth Services!✨

What we love most about these two organizations, is that it illustrates that no matter what you do, and where you are in life, that individually we each make up the village. Then together, it all adds to the support of youth and their families within our community! ✨

Coming off of winter break has been challenging especially when combined with the dreary weather, and surge in Covid cases throughout the country and our region.

It feels heavy but...

We just wanted to tell you that we think you are doing great. None of us are perfect and we are all doing the best we can with everything that is far outside of our control right now. 💛

We see you and we love you. Keep on keepin on neighbors! Together we have done this before, but with more tools now, we can do it even better! 💛

We made it to 2022 neighbors! Holy smokes!

In this week's newsletter we wanted to talk about a book that each and everyone of us in Deep River, Chester, and Essex should be reading as we close in on year two of the pandemic. Even better? All of our libraries have multiple copies waiting for you!

Sunday Shoutout is here!

Right before the holidays, we unexpectedly received an incredibly generous donation from the F. Curtis & Susan B. Thrall Foundation! It truly felt like a bit of magic just landed at our doorstep and we were all dumbfounded by such generosity. ✨

You will not find this nonprofit, which has dedicated its mission to assisting the schools and institutions within the lower Connecticut River Valley, on any social media. However, you will find examples of their work from a quick Google search, highlighting the impact that they make each year to various schools and organizations. ✨

TTYSB will be directing these funds towards mental health services, which is critically needed for the youth and adolescents within our community right now. Thank for touching our organization with such generosity. It truly does take a village. ✨
