Tykes & Teens is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and teens who are struggling with mental health and emotional challenges. Your support helps ensure that every child in our community has access to life-changing care—regardless of their background, income, or insurance status.
In 2024-2025 year, our clinicians provided treatment through more than 22,000 sessions. Our patients come from all four countries in the Treasure Coast Region.
Children, teens, and families served through therapy, school and community programming since 1996
of the children we serve live below the federal poverty line, relying on Medicaid or donor support to bridge the gap in care
Gifts from donors like you fuel every step of a child’s healing journey—from the first therapy session to a full return to blossoming. Here’s what your generosity can do:
Makes up for the difference for 10 therapy sessions that Medicaid does not reimburse.
Pays for qualified supervision per hour for registered interns.
Pays for a therapeutic toy such as a sand tray, game, or doll.
Create an immediate difference in the lives of children in our community
Become a monthly donor to help children blossom year-round
Give kids the therapeutic tools they need to heal and grow.
1 in 7 children will experience a mental health disorder annually. With 62% of children not receiving treatment for critical mental health disorders, access to care is more important than ever. Along the Treasure Coast, where a significant portion of households either rely on Medicaid, are uninsured or underinsured, accessing mental health care can be a daunting challenge.Â
For 30 years, Tykes & Teens has been leading the way in children’s mental health. Serving children from every socioeconomic background in our community, our mission is to ensure that no child goes without help due to financial difficulties. We plant the seeds of hope, helping children blossom into their full potential, transforming our community, one young life at a time.Â
With five locations, a new expanded space in Vero Beach, and hundreds of families served each year across four counties, Tykes & Teens is committed to empowering children and families with the tools to heal, grow, and blossom.
