We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in NC

  At YouthTHRIVE, we center the whole child and family.
 

We believe that healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it requires community, compassion, and culturally grounded support systems. Our work is rooted in a holistic, trauma-informed approach that prioritizes the emotional, physical, and mental well-being of both youth and the caregivers who walk alongside them.

Our compassionate team of advocates works to create brave, culturally responsive spaces where young people can feel safe to express, explore, and evolve. We empower families with the resources and support they need to move through hard seasons with dignity and hope.

At YouthTHRIVE, we don’t just intervene—we invest in the long-term wellness and resilience of our communities. 

Because when families are supported, youth are strengthened. And when youth are thriving, futures are reimagined.

 Our Core Offerings Include:

Gentle, body-based healing that teaches children emotional regulation, mindfulness, and self-awareness in safe, affirming environments.

We help schools and community spaces establish trauma-informed “Calm Corners” designed for youth to self-regulate, recharge, and return to learning or daily life with clarity. We also bring Calm Corners on the road—popping up at events, camps, and organizations with wellness tools, yoga, and breathwork activities.

We connect youth and families to vital mental health, behavioral, and wellness services—removing barriers to access and ensuring culturally competent care.

We offer evidence-based programs such as Mental Health First Aid and community-specific workshops that build the capacity to recognize, respond to, and support mental health needs in real time.

Through interactive trainings and youth-centered conversations, we challenge harmful narratives and replace them with empathy, understanding, and knowledge around mental health.

We guide families in navigating complex systems, advocate for appropriate care, and empower caregivers with the confidence and resources needed to support their children’s emotional and mental well-being.

We provide a range of supportive tools and materials designed to strengthen the mental health and well-being of youth and their families, including:

• Mental Health Education & Awareness Materials
  Easy-to-understand resources that promote emotional literacy, coping skills, and early intervention.
   
• Access to Community-Based Services & Support Networks
  Referrals and connections to trusted mental health providers, culturally competent clinicians, and youth-focused wellness programs.
   
• Suicide Prevention Tools & Resources
  Life-saving information, crisis response strategies, and family-centered guides to recognize warning signs and respond with care.
   

 If you or someone you know could benefit from support—or if you're simply looking to learn more about our services—we're here for you.

If you or someone you know is in crisis or needs help, you are not alone. Call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline anytime, 24/7. This free and confidential service connects you with trained professionals who can provide immediate support and guidance.
