Weekly Update May 2, 2025

Did you know that we first opened our doors in May 2015? We're celebrating 10 years of growth in 2025. We are planning a party at each of our locations this summer for our kids and families and hope to see you all there! Details coming soon!

Each Friday in the summer, we plan for an extra fun activity and a dress up day. All the dress up days are designed to be simple ones you can do with things you have at home, please don’t feel obligated to buy anything to make this happen. These are in place to help children prepare for similar dress up days in school. Staff and children will both participate in dressing up!

We will provide Strive shirts for each of the children. For more info on specific activities or dress up days, check out the weekly newsletter.

Our first Fun Friday will be May 30th.

Genesee Health System is conducting a community survey to assess the mental health needs of the community. The survey is just a few questions and takes less than 5 minutes to complete, so please take a moment to share your thoughts. You can share the survey with anyone you think might like to contribute! The survey link is here and you can read the flyer below for more information.

Congratulations to Ashley and Sierra, from our Burton center - both of these bright and amazing therapists passed their test this week to become a Registered Behavior Technician! If you see them, please take a minute to celebrate their acheivement!

Katlyn has worked at the Strive Center since February 2021. She previously worked for the State of Michigan as a student assistant with services for the blind. She helped with events and casefile management. Katlyn has worked in both locations, and is proud of her ability to work with any child in either building.

Katlyn's favorite part of her job is seeing progress and watching kids learn to be creative in their own way and she loves teaching social programs to see the children play together. Her favorite children's book is The Rainbow Fish.

Many parents may not be aware of our social media, and we'd love for you to follow us! We share tips and tricks for families, staff birthdays and work anniversaries, and other info.
