Today is World Sexual Health Day! We believe that comprehensive sexual health education is crucial for everyone, at every stage of life. It’s more than just a conversation about safe practices; it's about empowering individuals with the knowledge to make informed decisions for their well-being.

Comprehensive sexual health education helps to:

🔹Promote overall health: By providing accurate information about topics like anatomy, puberty, and STIs, it helps people take control of their physical health.

🔹Foster healthy relationships: It teaches vital skills like communication, consent, and respect, laying the foundation for positive and equitable connections with others.

🔹Reduce misinformation: In an age of easy-to-access but often inaccurate information, education provides a reliable, evidence-based source to counter myths and stigma.

🔹Empower individuals: Understanding one’s own body and rights leads to greater confidence and autonomy, enabling people to advocate for themselves and their health.

We are proud to be a trusted resource for this vital education, helping to build a more informed and healthier community! 💚

Food insecurity in our community often looks like families struggling to afford nutritious meals, individuals skipping meals to make ends meet, and children relying heavily on school meal programs for their daily nutrition. It might also mean local food pantries and soup kitchens are experiencing increased demand, stretching their resources thin.
During Hunger Action Month, various initiatives are undertaken to address these challenges. Local organizations come to raise awareness and support through food drives, fundraising events, and volunteer opportunities. Educational workshops are conducted to inform the community about the scope of food insecurity and to promote sustainable solutions. Through these efforts, we aim to not only provide immediate relief to those in need but also work towards long-term strategies that create a more equitable food system for everyone.

September is Baby Safety Month, and we're taking this opportunity to highlight one of the most important aspects of safe sleep: the sleep sack! We're proud to be a hub for these essential products, helping parents create a secure sleep environment for their little ones. Sleep sacks are a safe alternative to loose blankets, which can pose a suffocation risk. They keep babies warm and cozy all night long, giving you peace of mind. Come get yours today! 💤🚼

On August 31, we observe International Overdose Awareness Day, a global campaign to end overdose, remember those who have died, and acknowledge the grief of their loved ones. It’s a day to raise awareness about overdose and end the stigma of a drug-related death.

Today, we're sharing resources for our community and reminding everyone that help is available. If you or a friend needs immediate support, you can call or text the Tri-County Substance Use Resources listed on this post. You are not alone, and there is hope for recovery.
