Let's Catch-up: February 2024
|
|
Our mission is to empower families to foster resilience and prioritize mental health and emotional wellness in their children through educational programming, access to resources, and peer support.
|
|
Valentine's Day is coming up next week, but that's not the only day to share our affection.
Let’s show up with love everyday by:
- Listening and validating friends and family
- Accepting people for who they are
- Caring about and giving to others
- Respecting everyone's differences
- Seeing each other’s pain and struggles
- Caring for our own minds and bodies
- Finding the glimmers and filling our hearts with them
When we show up with love, others - especially our children - feel it and know they are enough. Isn't that what matters?
