Charlotte Community Connections w/ JD

Charlotte Agency Helps Families With Mentally Troubled Youth

Mental health is so often framed as a personal battle, but what if we explored mental health as a collective journey, where healing happens not just in clinics, but in living rooms, libraries, coffee shops, and community spaces? 

That’s the heart of the work one Charlotte nonprofit does – Youth Villages. Their mission is simple – help children and families live successfully. Youth Villages supports young people who are facing mental and behavioral health challenges. They believe that children are raised best by their families.

And when families are equipped with the right tools and support, real, lasting healing can happen. Their ultimate goal? To ensure children can avoid entering foster care or the juvenile system. Youth Villages is changing lives and saving families. Today, we’re learning more about how they are doing it.  

 Guests:

 Ashley Herndon, Clinical Service Manager – Youth Villages 

Jessica Silk, Licensed Clinical Social Worker – Youth Villages

Renee Russell, Youth Villages Parent
