Middle school is a big step… and not every student feels ready.

New classes.
New friends.
More responsibility.

For some kids, that excitement can also come with anxiety, uncertainty, and self-doubt.

That’s why we created our Middle School Summer Support Group 💬

🎒 Students will learn how to:
✔ Build confidence in a new environment
✔ Make and keep friends
✔ Stay organized and manage classes
✔ Handle stress and big changes

✨ Help your child start the school year feeling confident and prepared, and not overwhelmed.

📅 Summer Sessions 2026
🕙 10:00 – 11:30 AM

💲 $50 Early Registration | $60 Standard
*early registration ends 5/22 for middle school group sessions

Cinco de Mayo and Mental Health Awareness Month felt like the perfect time for a little group session.

Queso is melting under pressure.
Guac is feeling a little extra.
Pico is a little diced up.
And lime says things have been a little sour and edgy lately.

And honestly… we get it.

Life can feel like a lot sometimes.
Some days you’re holding it together.
Some days you’re just trying to get through.

Here’s your reminder:
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You don’t have to carry everything on your own.
And it’s always ok to taco ’bout how you feel.

Take a breath.
Check in with yourself.
Say what’s actually on your mind.

You’re doing the best you can, and that matters.

May the 4th be with you
And your mental health too

Strength does not mean carrying everything on your own
It means knowing when it is time to ask for support

Whether you are a first responder
A parent
A teen
Or just someone navigating a heavy season

You are not alone 💚

Family Solutions hosted a blood drive today with LifeShare Blood Center - Monroe and we are so thankful for everyone who was able to donate. ❤️

We are grateful for each person who took the time to give, along with all of the groups and partners who helped make this possible. Your support helps our community stay prepared for those moments when blood is needed most and helps maintain a steady supply for patients and hospitals every day.

Donating blood is a simple, intentional act of care. It is a way to give back to others, people you may never meet, while contributing to the overall well-being of our community. Small actions like this create meaningful impact and remind us how connected we all are.
