The JR Program- Caregiver Comfort Initiative

---

 At TYSS, we understand the critical role caregivers play in the lives of youth experiencing mental health challenges—and we know how often their own well-being is overlooked. That’s why we created the J.R. Program: to provide caregivers with the support they deserve. 

The first initiative of the JR Program is the Caregiver Comfort Initiative. This initiative will provide complimentary self-care gift baskets to caregivers, offering comfort, encouragement, and resources to help them prioritize their own well-being 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.

Through trusted partnerships with mental health facilities, social service agencies, and local hospitals, we identify caregivers in need of assistance. Once referred and their need verified, we deliver discreet, thoughtfully curated self-care gift baskets directly to their door. These baskets offer much-needed respite, encouragement, and a reminder that caregivers are not alone. Each delivery also introduces caregivers to TYSS and the range of services we provide to support their journey.

The J.R. Program is more than a gesture of kindness—it’s a lifeline of hope and strength for families affected by mental illness. By empowering caregivers, we help build resilience in families, creating a ripple effect of positive change.

This program is only possible through the generosity of donors like you. Your contribution helps us bring comfort, care, and resources to those who need it most. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of caregivers and their families.
