☀️ Hello Summer! ☀️
School`s out, the sun is shining, and it’s the perfect time to make memories, play outside, and slow down a little. At Child & Family Center, we’re welcoming the first day of summer with joy and a reminder to care for children`s mental and emotional well-being during the break.
Here are 3 simple tips for caregivers to support children’s mental health this summer:
Keep a Routine: While it doesn’t need to be strict, a consistent daily rhythm helps kids feel secure and grounded.
Stay Active Together: Outdoor play, nature walks, and family activities help boost mood and reduce stress.
Talk About Feelings: Make space for open conversations.
Let’s make this summer fun, supportive, and emotionally enriching for every child. 💛

June is Men’s Mental Health Month.
Child & Family Center knows that when men feel supported, families are stronger, and when families are strong, communities thrive.
Mental health isn’t just personal. It shapes how we show up as partners, parents, friends, and leaders.
Here are 5 ways to support your well-being this month:
✅ Talk honestly about how you’re really doing
✅ Move your body and fuel it well
✅ Connect, don’t go it alone
✅ Choose habits that truly recharge you
✅ Reach out when you need support
Because changing lives and healing relationships starts with showing up for yourself first.
Let’s build stronger families today, for stronger communities tomorrow.
🎥 Watch, share, and check in with the men in your life.

🎨✨ Creative Harmony was a Huge Success! ✨🥁
Over the past few weeks, families came together at Child & Family Center to laugh, create, and connect. From crafting vibrant masks, to feeling the rhythm in our lively Drum Circle, to etching meaningful stories into wood, every event was filled with creativity, community, and love. 🖌️🔥🎶
The goal of Creative Harmony was simple: bring families closer through the power of creativity. And we’re proud to say… mission accomplished! 🫶
Thank you to everyone who participated, shared their talents, and made each night unforgettable. We can’t wait to see you all next time!
