Happy National Pet Day 🐾💛

Today we’re celebrating the furry companions that our amazing staff call family. From playful pups to cuddly cats, these pets bring so much joy, comfort, and personality into our team’s lives—and we love getting to share in that happiness.

Here’s to the pets who keep our staff smiling long after the workday ends 🐶🐱

Every April, we talk about alcohol and alcohol misuse/ alcohol use disorder during Alcohol Awareness Month. But there’s a question we don’t ask often enough: What about the kids? Millions of children grow up in families affected by the impact of parental use. They notice the tension. They notice the broken promises. They worry when the parents they love have passed out, afraid they may not wake up. And too often, they quietly believe the drinking is somehow their fault. The good news: Children are incredibly resilient when they have support, safe spaces, and caring adults who listen. This Alcohol Awareness Month, let’s make sure children are part of the conversation. Learn more: https://nacoa.org/alcohol-awareness-month-must-include-children/

Children and teens are increasingly exposed to gambling through ads, social media, gaming apps, and online platforms. What may seem normal or entertaining can shape attitudes and increase risk later in life.

Prevention starts with conversation, education, and setting healthy boundaries. When adults talk openly and model responsible behaviors, we help young people build informed, confident decision-making skills. 🤝
