We want all of you to have a happy, healthy, and safe Halloween tomorrow!
Remember: Halloween doesn’t have to look the same for every child and it's important to expect higher emotions and the potential for bigger meltdowns on exciting days. Give yourself grace and patience and see what feels right for your family this year.

Halloween can be overwhelming for kids with sensory sensitivities, but there are some simple things you can try to make it more fun for all. 🧡 Remember: Halloween doesn’t have to look the same for every child and it's important to expect higher emotions and the potential for bigger meltdowns on exciting days. Give yourself grace and patience and see what feels right for your family this year.

It’s that time of year again - Let’s get excited and come together to celebrate a drug- free life! Red Ribbon Week (October 23–31) is our chance to stand up and make a difference in the educating youth.

Have meaningful conversations and spread the word about how important it is to stay drug-free. Whether it’s at school, work, or in our community, we can empower youth to make informed decisions. Every conversation matters. Every small action counts.

drug-free, and help others do the same. The more of us who step up, the bigger
