"I never tried to self-harm again after that moment."

Watch Colbi's success story, how she overcame self-harm and is helping others today.

 
 

Colbi’s story isn’t typical. One moment is usually not enough to stop self-harm from happening, especially if it’s already on-going. But there is an important moral to her story … sometimes love is the answer. Sometimes one person’s caring or belief in a child can change the direction they are headed for the better. See how Colbi is paying it forward today, helping struggling kids every day.

Knowing the children you love might hurt themselves is a painful realization for parents. It reminds us to place extra importance on letting them know that they are loved and that they matter every single day. Make sure that they know their home is a place of sanctuary and that they can talk to you about anything at any time.

If you suspect that your child may be self-harming or tied-in with friends who are, please visit our new blog to learn more.

If you have friends or acquaintances with tweens and teens, feel free to forward this email, so they have access to the same information.

The more people we can reach during Self-Harm Awareness Month, the better we are fulfilling our mission of Saving Children and Healing Families.

Celebrating the Women of Boys Town

Girls haven't always been a part of the Boys Town story. In fact, it wasn't until 1979 when girls could benefit from Boys Town's life-changing care.

Today, girls make up about half of the youth population that receives care in the Village of Boys Town and at several of our affiliate sites.

In honor of Women's History Month, this new blog catches up with girls we have featured in the past sharing some of their recent successes. After all, they wouldn't be where they are today without the continued support from people like you.

We also have a Facebook Live planned on International Women's Day, March 8, 2021 at 3:30 PM. Make sure to mark that you are interested or going to get a reminder when we go live!
