The JR Program

A Core Initiative of Trauma Youth Support Services (TYSS), the J.R. Program, an integral part of Trauma Youth Support Services (TYSS), is committed to providing comfort and support to caregivers of youth in crisis or those admitted to hospitals or mental health facilities. We recognize the significant challenges caregivers face during these critical moments, and our mission is to ease their burden while promoting self-care, health, and wellness.

Through the J.R. Program, we offer complimentary gift baskets thoughtfully curated to support caregivers' physical and emotional well-being. These baskets are designed to encourage self-care and provide practical resources, enabling caregivers to prioritize their health while navigating the complexities of their loved ones' mental health journey.

Each gift basket includes:

Self-Care Essentials: Items such as aromatherapy products, soothing candles, relaxation tools, journals, and gift cards for local restaurants or food delivery services to promote relaxation and stress relief.
Health and Wellness Items: Herbal teas, nutritious snacks, and vitamins to help caregivers maintain their physical health during difficult times.
Resource Materials: Educational books, guides, and materials on mental health, caregiving, and self-care to empower caregivers with knowledge and tools to manage their unique situations.

The J.R. Program reflects our belief that caregivers are better equipped to support their loved ones through recovery and healing when they take care of themselves.

How It Works

The J.R. Program collaborates with participating mental health or social services agencies to identify families who would benefit from our gift baskets. Once a family is identified, we discreetly arrange for a complimentary gift basket delivered to their home, ensuring convenience and privacy. We aim to uplift and support caregivers, reminding them they are not alone. By providing these gift baskets, we hope to offer respite and encouragement, recognizing the incredible dedication and strength caregivers demonstrate daily. Please note that the J.R. Program is made possible through the generous support of donors, sponsors, and volunteers who share our vision of supporting caregivers of youth in crisis. If you would like to contribute to the program or get involved, we welcome your support. At TYSS, we are committed to nurturing the well-being of caregivers while fostering resilience within families impacted by mental illness. The J.R. Program is just one of the ways we strive to make a positive difference in the lives of those who care for mentally ill youth. If you know a caregiver or family in need of support, or if you would like to contribute to the J.R. Program, don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Together, we can bring comfort, care, and hope to those most in need.
