Let's change the narrative on youth mental health. “The crisis- and urgency-focused narrative really gives no space for solutions.” C4CC knows that young people - all people - need connection, discovery and exploration to thrive. Do. Be. Become. Belong. edsurge.com/news/2024-09-0…
What if we stopped trying to "fix" juvenile justice after youth are in it—and focused on keeping them out? C4CC’s youth mental health program is a farm-based, healing-first model that shows prevention > punishment. #YouthJustice #PreventionWorks #C4CC #EarlyIntervention
Another amazing C4CC day at the Farm at Penny Lane! Chatham County’s ONE Academy scholars, Duke OTD students, UNC volunteers, and lots of well-being, belonging and connection. #c4cc #mentalhealthaccess #occupationaljustice #belonging

See a glimpse into C4CC's therapeutic workshops for 7 - 12th graders led by an OT, nurse, dietician, and play therapist at the Farm at Penny Lane. Playful connection, hoes in the dirt, cooking skills, and hilarious experiments in communication and art making. See for yourself!
In a newly published article, C4CC's Co-founder and Board Chair, Dr. MaryBeth Gallagher illustrates through qualitative research how hegemony can lead to occupational injustice, and what some OT's are doing about that. ow.ly/KoSb50UPZi9 Art by Athulya Pulimood (2022)

On this day and every day, C4CC works for mental health equity and occupational justice. We celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and are inspired by his teachings.

We recently had a wonderful morning full of therapeutic workshops at Penny Lane Farm! We loved connecting with scholars from ONE Academy, grounding through gardening, and exploring entrepreneurial ideas to support food security. Looking forward to more next week!

On 9/20, C4CC’s Co-Founder, Dr. MaryBeth Gallagher, and Duke OT students went to the Capitol to push for better access to mental health occupational therapy. They sought support for the Mental Health Parity Act, ensuring OT is recognized under Medicare for mental health services.
Happy first day of Autumn, folks! We are looking forward to the new possibilities this season will bring for C4CC. What is something you enjoy about the fall? What is something you are looking forward to this season? Hope to see you out on the farm!
C4CC attended UNC OASIS's celebration at the Farm at Penny Lane to celebrate their success to help folks heal after a first episode of psychosis. C4CC's Taryn and Alexa hosted a “Chill Table” of playful, therapeutic tools for emotional regulation and shared about C4CC's mission.
The opportunity to thrive. That is what every young person deserves. #C4CC was thrilled to be at the table with #ChathamCountySchools and #BCBSNC, #DukeEndowment, #ElFuturo, and #RWS to talk INNOVATION in YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH! bluecrossnc.com/blog/healthy-l…
Today is "National Be a Good Teammate Day," and we are so thankful to have such a wonderful, kind, and skilled team at C4CC!
