The most rewarding bet you will make is betting on yourself. Start investing in your future by taking care of your well being. Make sure you have a steady income, pay your bills on time, and learn to budget your money in healthy ways. Having financial stability gives you a sense of security and brings you closer to your goals. A secure future with a stable income is worth more than a bet that could jeopardize it all.

Set 3–5 financial goals that you want to achieve this year. Actively working toward those goals will help you stay on track and keep your future in focus. Prevent distractions—like spending on sports bets—by setting goals that guide your actions. Achieving them helps you create real, actionable steps and recognize what’s truly beneficial for your future.

The Prince William Community Services Wellness and Prevention Program is delighted to share that they have an opportunity to provide mini-grants for projects led by youth in our communities to reduce stigma and promote help seeking to prevent suicides and mental health challenges. This opportunity is for youth to create and implement strategies. There should be an adult sponsor or organization to manage the funds, but the ideas and planning are youth led and driven by the young people involved.

Applications will be received, reviewed and funded until the allotted amount is spent (no later than June 30, 2026).

Each year, during the first full week of May, the National Federation of Families leads the nation in celebrating the mental health of children and youth. This year’s Children’s Mental Health Action Week (CMHAW) theme is “Beyond the Screen: Education, Prevention, Connection.”

Throughout CMHAW and all of Mental Health Awareness Month[WH3.1], we’ll explore how technology, family life, and mental health intersect—and how we can support our children and youth in a digital world. We’ll be sharing research, trends, resources for parents and caregivers, and practical strategies to protect, strengthen, and nurture the family connections that matter most.

📅 Mark your calendars: May 3rd–9th
Join us as we look beyond the screen and take meaningful action for our children’s mental well being

As we honor Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week, this year’s theme of Beyond the Screen reminds us to look up, connect, and support kids in real life moments that matter. This graphic highlights simple ways families can practice emotional first aid—like connecting during loneliness, using positive distractions, or asking for help when things feel overwhelming.

Let’s encourage more mindful moments, more conversations, and more support beyond the devices we use every day. Every child deserves care that goes deeper than the screen.
