A Sanctuary Within: FY26 Mental Health for Youth Impact
A bed offers immediate safety, but dedicated mental health care offers a way forward. Our FY26 Impact Video highlights the MH4Y team’s daily work inside YSN shelters, meeting young people in the midst of housing instability to deliver immediate emotional support, coping strategies, and grounded guidance. By bringing services directly to youth experiencing homelessness, we break down barriers to care when it matters most. This crucial outreach is powered by the Winnebago County Community Mental Health Board and the 1/2-cent sales tax voter commitment.
