🍀 March at Spill The Tea Cafe! 🌈👋
It’s hard to believe we’re already in March! This year is moving fast, and so is the impact we’re making together. Over the past few months, we’ve welcomed new families, expanded our reach, and strengthened partnerships that will help us create even greater change.
As we step into this new season, we’re reminded that growth isn’t just about moving forward—it’s about deepening our roots. Whether it’s providing life-saving support, creating safe spaces, or empowering youth to own their stories, Spill The Tea Café is committed to showing up for our community in meaningful ways.

🏆 Success Stories 🏆
Spill The Tea Café has officially made it to year three! As we reflect on this milestone, we’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come and the lives we’ve saved along the way. From empowering youth to elevating their voices to supporting families in need, our mission has only grown stronger.
This journey wouldn’t be possible without our incredible team, community, and supporters like you. Here’s to another year of breaking barriers, redefining success, and creating a future where every young person has the opportunity to thrive.
💪 Strengthening Partnerships 💪
This month, we saw the power of collaboration in action as organizations came together for the overall well-being of youth and their mental health. One highlight was an incredible self-defenseworkshop led by Angela Pucci, where young participants had the opportunity to build confidence, learn essential self-protection skills, and strengthen their sense of empowerment.
Events like these remind us that mental wellness isn’t just about what happens in therapy—it’s about equipping youth with the tools they need to feel safe, strong, and supported in allaspects oftheir lives. We’regratefulfor thepartners who make these moments possible and lookforward tocontinuing this work together!
