Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that caring for our mental health is just as important as caring for our physical health. At CCGC, we believe every child and family deserves access to support, understanding, and hope. ๐ŸŒฑ

This yearโ€™s theme is about making mental health a universal priority. Whether itโ€™s reaching out for help, checking in on a friend, or taking a moment for self-care, small steps can make a big difference. Together, we can break the stigma and build a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported. ๐Ÿ’™

Every November, the United States observes Native American Heritage Month, a time to honor the rich histories, diverse cultures, and important contributions of Native peoples. Too often, Native voices have been silenced and their stories erased or oversimplified in mainstream history, despite the fact that Indigenous nations were the first inhabitants of this land. Colonization, forced removal, and assimilation policies attempted to strip Native communities of their traditions, languages, and identities, leaving lasting impacts that are still felt today.

This month serves as an opportunity to acknowledge those truths, uplift Native resilience, and celebrate the vibrancy of Indigenous cultures across the continent. Recognizing Native American Heritage Month helps correct historical neglect and affirms the sovereignty and enduring presence of Native nations. It is also a reminder to honor the deep connections Indigenous peoples maintain with the land and to celebrate the ways they continue to shape and strengthen the United States today.

๐Ÿ’›๐ŸŒ Today is World Su***de Prevention Day

At CCGC, we know that su***de is not just an adult issue โ€” children, teens, and families in our community are impacted too. Every conversation about mental health matters, and every child deserves the chance to grow up supported, safe, and hopeful.

Su***de is preventable. Together, we can reduce stigma, open doors to treatment, and make sure that no one feels they have to struggle in silence. ๐Ÿ’š

Here are some ways we can all help:
โœ”๏ธ Talk openly with kids and teens about their feelings โ€” listen without judgment.
โœ”๏ธ Notice the signs โ€” changes in mood, behavior, or withdrawal may be a signal they need help.
โœ”๏ธ Share resources โ€” let families know they are not alone, and that help is available 24/7.
โœ”๏ธ Stay connected โ€” even small acts of kindness and care can make a big difference.

๐Ÿ“ž If you or someone you love is struggling:
Call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline (available 24/7).
For children and youth in Connecticut, dial 2-1-1 and press 1 for mobile crisis support.

๐Ÿ’™ You are not alone. Hope and healing are possible. At CCGC, we remain committed to helping kids and families grow up better, together.
