💙 Wrapping Up Men’s Mental Health Month 💙

As June comes to a close, we want to remind our community that men’s mental health matters all year long.

At Child & Family Center, we believe that supporting men strengthens families, and strong families build stronger communities.

Let’s keep the conversation going beyond June.
✅ Check in with the men in your life.
✅ Encourage open and judgment-free dialogue.
✅ Remind them that asking for help is a sign of strength.

Together, we can break the stigma and create a world where all men feel seen, supported, and mentally well.

☀️ 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. 💛
