High school seniors in Unity, Wilder's newest school-based mental health program, celebrated their growth and cross-cultural connections during a graduation celebration last month. High school students in Wilder school-based mental health programs at multiple high schools participate in Unity, and they come from multiple cultural backgrounds. Unity celebrated with remarks by school-based mental health staff (pictured), musical performances and student speeches. Congratulations to the graduates of Unity and all of our school-based mental health programs! We are so proud of you. Have a great summer! #CrossCulturalConnections #SchoolBasedMentalHealth #SupportMentalWellness

We are so proud of Wilder's facilities team for their work to get a baby book back to a community member. Wilder staff found a bag with a baby book near Wilder Center's loading dock that had been stolen from the woman's car at a nearby business. They contacted her and reunited her with her son's baby book! Read all about it in the Pioneer Press. #ActsOfKindness #WilderValues
