Connect with Elevate 215 & Resources Children and young people dealing with grief, addiction, and other challenges often face an overwhelming mix of emotions, including confusion, fear, and isolation. Without proper support, these experiences can deeply affect their mental health, relationships, and development. Access to compassionate resources is vital for building resilience and fostering healing. In this episode, we speak with
Sarah Behm, Assistant Director of the
Eluna Resource Center, an organization dedicated to supporting children and families navigating these difficult journeys. Sarah shares insights into Eluna’s mission, the resources they offer, and the importance of creating a supportive environment for those in need.
