Celebrating Mental Health Champions Jo-Ann and Rod Sockolov

Each May, we observe Mental Health Awareness Month and on May 7, we observe National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day, highlighting the importance of children’s mental health.

This month, and especially back on May 7, we have also been celebrating Jo-Ann and Rod Sockolov for their extraordinary contribution of $100,000 to expand Caminar's adolescent mental health education, prevention, and treatment programs in our community.

Thank you, Jo-Ann and Rod, for your long-time, profound, and life-changing support of our Bay Area youth and adolescents' mental health as donors and Caminar board members. You are truly champions of mental health and you are making a difference. We are forever grateful for your leadership.

Caminar in the News

Our CEO, Mark Cloutier, was interviewed by NBC Bay Area about the youth mental health epidemic and how our FAST program in the South Bay is working to address youth mental health. The FAST program, which stands for Families and Schools Together, focuses on kids who live in low-income or violent neighborhoods in San Jose and has real-life outcomes such as increased self-esteem, improved academic performance, and strengthened family relationships

Please enjoy the interview here.
