Everstand

Have a good holy day, and an easy fast—“Yom Tov!” from all of us at Everstand! 📖 #Everstand #YomKippur #fast

In honor of World Mental Health Day, Everstand is proud to support global education, awareness, and advocacy against social stigma. 💛 Mental and behavioral health cannot be treated in a bubble. The impacts are far-reaching, touching every aspect of life. This makes it vital for the care and treatment to be holistic—a piece of the greater portrait, not a standalone drawing. At Everstand, we let our youth know, “your mind matters.” We operate under a continuum of care that considers mental and behavioral health as core components of everything we do. We design our programs and services to place them at the center, then building out the unique care and support each individual needs in order to thrive.

Everstand would like to recognize Ms. Toni as a 2024 Core Value Award Winner for exemplifying EMPATHY! 💙 Ms. Toni is an exceptional Youth Care Professional (YCP) who is highly valued in her unit. She is known for her kindness, dedication, and building strong connections with the youth. When a youth began exhibiting concerning behavior, such as excessive cleaning, discarding usable items, and neglecting hygiene, Ms. Toni promptly reported these issues to the care team. Her deep empathy and daily presence allow her to offer valuable insights and support, effectively addressing the youth's concerns with understanding and compassion. Congratulations, Toni, and thank you! Read the full announcement: https://loom.ly/oIN1M70

🎉 To kick off the '24-'25 school year, we had an incredible day on the Baltimore campus with Constellation hosting a Back-to-School Carnival Olympics! 🏅 From fun-filled games that encouraged teamwork to 65 backpacks stuffed with essential school supplies, Constellation made sure our students were set up for success. 🎒✨ Over 50 youth and staff from the Everstand community participated, including from the Hagerstown, Denton, and Colesville campuses. In addition to the carnival games, Team and Individual Certificates were awarded for Teamwork, Unity, Sportsmanship, and Most 1st Place Medals/Prizes. All in all, we gave out 11 Gold, 11 Silver, 11 Bronze Medals and prizes. A huge thank you to the amazing Constellation volunteers who helped bring this event to life! 🙌 The energy and joy were contagious, and we are so grateful for your support. 💙 Here's to an amazing school year ahead!

Everstand is proud to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month! 🎉 From September 15 to October 15, Everstand will be recognizing the histories, cultures, and contributions of those whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Why does this holiday start later in the month rather than on the first? September 15th is the anniversary of independence for several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua! Everstand honors diversity and creates opportunities for our community to continue to learn about each other, and engage with joy and purpose. We would not be who we are without our Latin and Hispanic community—we thank you for choosing to lend your talents to Everstand youth, families, and their communities!

Swinging into success! 🏌️♀️🏌️♂️ Fore-sure the best team on and off the course! ⛳️ #TeeMwork #ParTeeTime

We’re not sleeping … we’re centering! Part of Everstand’s agenda at large group meetings includes having a centering moment at the beginning. Earlier this month, Natasha Pubic started off our Town Hall in Mechanicsburg, PA with a brief meditation focused on breathing and calm before turning the focus to updates on facility and IT upgrades and an opportunity for an open Q&A with the executive team.

When we make sure that everyone, including children, can reach their potential and fully contribute to our communities, we all benefit. National Care for Kids Day is an opportunity for you to step forward — to donate or share your time. It’s a day to contribute to existing programs and volunteer where there is a need, giving children in your community every opportunity to grow and thrive. Day in and day out, we care for kids and empower families. Join us! https://loom.ly/ojVk2a8
