SETTING AND ACHIEVING GOALS CAN MAKE YOUTH HAPPIER, HEALTHIER, AND MORE HOPEFUL.
BEING HIGHLY HOPEFUL MEANS YOUTH ARE:
...MORE LIKELY TO GET BETTER GRADES AND LESS LIKELY TO MISS SCHOOL.
...LESS LIKELY TO USE DRUGS
...LESS LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE DEPRESSION.
We are grateful for our wonderful partnership with Thrives and the Blaine School District, WA, which allows us to support students through dynamic, hands-on equine sessions that build confidence, self-esteem, and social-emotional skills
Birch Bay Blaine (BBB) Thrives is a beautiful collective effort between our community, public services, and schools. Members meet monthly to examine some of the most difficult challenges facing our youth, while infusing each meeting with connection, laughter, and hope. BBB Thrives continually multiplies existing resources, connection points, available funding, and valuable opportunities for youth and the adults who care for them in our community. Thrives re-inspires my hope.
Birch Bay-Blaine Thrives was established in June of 2018 with the goal of bringing people together to help foster resilience among youth, families, schools, and the community, and to help prevent youth substance use. Stakeholders explore ways to promote a thriving community by leveraging strengths and assets and enhancing healthy social environments in the Birch Bay, Blaine, and Pt. Roberts area.
Our mission is to bring people together to find ways to foster resilience among youth, families, schools, and the community.
