Uncertainty over the last two years has resulted in adverse effects on the mental health of young people.

To combat this, Boys & Girls Club of Rockford has partnered with Rosecrancea mental healthcare provider that teaches club members how to cope with stress and trauma.

The after-school pilot program has already reached more than 40 club members ages 5-18 each night, with hopes to expand to curriculums in other locations.
