Tykes & Teens

Tykes & Teens is a leading provider of the highest quality, evidence-based mental health services and programs for children and adolescents. Our mission is prioritizing children’s mental health in our families, schools and communities through prevention, education and treatment. We empower children and strengthen families by ensuring that all children have access to high quality counseling and mental health services, regardless of financial status. We advocate for increased awareness of mental health to remove the stigma and shame often associated with seeking mental health treatment. We provide $750,000 in unreimbursed, affordable, quality mental health services for children in need across the Treasure Coast from more than 50 service locations, in collaboration with numerous community partners. Thanks to Impact100 St. Lucie’s generous grant award, Tykes & Teens was able to open our first outpatient office outside of Martin County. This gave us the opportunity to grow roots in the community and fulfill a great need for children’s mental health services in St. Lucie County. Since opening our St. Lucie County outpatient office in 2019, we have served more than 118 clients and provided more than 4,000 sessions out of the office or via telehealth. It provided a foundation that has also allowed us to expand funding with other community partners. We truly appreciate having the opportunity to meet and get to know the many influential funders in St. Lucie County who share our passion for strengthening and building resilient children and families with high quality mental health services. We are grateful to collaborate with St. Lucie County residents who are invested in making a difference in the community.
