So excited to share a documentary on SchoolSeed’s Bridge Up Giddy Up equestrian program in partnership with the HGB Foundation. We are in year 4 of this direct service program and blessed to be a blessing to our student participants in Memphis. Greatness really does grow here! It’s about 10 minutes.

In 2021, the Helen Gurley Brown Foundation launched BridgeUP GiddyUP with a simple but bold belief: that young people from Whitehaven, Memphis deserved acces...

Join us in celebrating Zachary, the GiddyUP team member recognized for exemplifying all the qualities of the Brave One:

Courage in Growth

This rider:
• attempts the hard thing
• speaks up when unsure
• accepts feedback without collapse

Courage here is not recklessness.
It is staying present in discomfort.

They grow publicly and without drama.

Merry Christmas from all of us at SchoolSeed.

As we celebrate this season of hope, generosity, and togetherness, we pause with deep gratitude for you—our donors, partners, and friends who make our work possible. Because of your belief in children, families, and communities, SchoolSeed continues to be a place where compassion is turned into action and hope is restored in meaningful ways.

This year, your support helped us walk alongside families in need, provide healing and stability through community-rooted programs, and create opportunities that remind children they are seen, valued, and full of promise. None of this happens without your trust and generosity.

May this Christmas season bring you peace, joy, and renewed hope. As we look ahead to the coming year, we are grateful to continue this journey with you—serving together, giving together, and believing together in what is possible when community stands united.

From the entire SchoolSeed team and Board of Directors, Merry Christmas and warmest wishes for a joyful New Year.

November 2025 Service Report & Access Expansion

Because of your continued investment in healing families and children, Kindred Place remains a critical access point for mental health services in our community. We are grateful to share an important service update alongside our November client activity.

Expanding Access to Care

In November, Kindred Place officially began accepting BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, an important step in removing financial barriers for families seeking care. Our clinical and administrative teams are actively working to bring additional private insurance carriers online and will share updates as new approvals are finalized.

Currently accepted payment options include:

Self-Pay

TennCare

BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee

This progress directly reflects your support, allowing us to strengthen our infrastructure while expanding access to care.

November 2025 Client Impact

Despite the growing complexity of needs we are seeing across Memphis, Kindred Place maintained strong service delivery throughout November:

152 active clients served during the month

22 new clients onboarded, reflecting continued demand for services

Over 550 documented therapy encounters, demonstrating the depth and intensity of care being provided to children and families

These numbers represent real people—children processing trauma, parents seeking stability, and families working toward healing. While month-to-month volumes fluctuate, the sustained level of engagement underscores the essential role Kindred Place plays in the community.

Looking Ahead

With insurance access expanding and demand remaining high, your partnership is more important than ever. Every dollar you invest helps ensure families can walk through our doors and receive timely, professional, and compassionate mental health support.

Thank you for standing with Kindred Place and believing in the power of healing, stability, and hope.
