In recognition of National Military Appreciation Month, we proudly honor the strength, sacrifice, and service of our military community. At The Child Center, we are committed to supporting not just service members, but their entire families — because we know that when one person serves, the whole family serves. Through counseling, peer support, and community-based resources, we stand with military families every step of the way, helping them build resilience, heal, and thrive. (fb)

This month, we are spotlighting our amazing intern, Paloma Castillo, as she wraps up her time at our Corona Head Start program. Since August, Paloma has been an integral part of the Mental Health Consultation team. Currently pursuing a dual MSW from Hunter College and MSEd from Bank Street College of Education, Paloma skillfully led socialization groups and built meaningful connections with children, staff, and families alike. Paloma, thank you for sharing your time, talents, and heart with us — you have a bright future ahead, and we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way! (fb)
