A place where kids can learn and grow,
And build the strength to face what's low.
Their caring team provides support,
In times when life can seem so fraught,
They teach kids skills to cope and thrive,
And keep their spirits strong and alive.
With therapy and tools to use,
They help kids manage all their blues,
And build a sense of confidence,
To face the challenges life presents.
Dawn Health is a haven,
For kids who need a little help,
And with their guidance, kids can learn,
To be resilient and face life well.
So if you're feeling lost and low,
And need some help to help you grow,
Dawn Health is there for you,
A place to find your strength anew.
