Voices of Hope

Voices of Hope is a storytelling initiative that highlights the strength, resilience, and healing happening every day in our community. Through personal video stories, individuals share how they have navigated difficult seasons and found hope along the way.

At Child & Family Guidance Center, we see the power of healing firsthand. When stories are shared, they remind others they are not alone — and they help our community better understand the life-changing impact of accessible mental health services.

What We’re Looking For

We are inviting individuals who feel ready and comfortable sharing their journey of growth, healing, and resilience on video.

You may have walked through trauma, loss, abuse, hardship, or another life-changing challenge. If your experience has shaped you and you’ve found strength along the way, your voice could encourage someone who is still in the middle of their story.

There is no “perfect” story. We are simply looking for authenticity, courage, and hope.

Why Share?

When you share your story:

• You inspire others who may feel alone.
• You help reduce stigma around seeking support.
• You allow our community and supporters to see the real impact of our mission in action.

Your experience could be the light someone else is searching for.

What to Expect

Participation includes a guided, supportive video interview with our team. You will have the opportunity to review and approve your story before it is shared.

We want this experience to feel safe, respectful, and empowering.
