John Gonzalez - Board President

Message from our Board President

Serving as Board President of Tykes & Teens is both a privilege and a responsibility. My commitment to this mission is deeply personal. Growing up, I watched my father dedicate more than 30 years to nonprofit organizations supporting individuals facing mental health challenges, teaching me the importance of compassion, service, and giving back to the community.
 
Over the past seven years on the Board of Directors, I have witnessed firsthand the growing need for accessible, high-quality children’s mental health services across the Treasure Coast. I am proud to work alongside a dedicated Board of Directors, exceptional staff, and generous supporters who share a commitment to ensuring that every child and family has access to the care they need.
 
Together, we are building a stronger future where children can heal, grow, and blossom, and where families have hope, support, and a place to turn when they need it most.
