April is Autism Awareness Month, and awareness looks different for everyone. For some families, it means navigating things day by day. For others, it’s learning how to better support someone they love. Sometimes, it’s simply making sure every voice is heard and respected. We’re grateful to be part of a community that continues to show up, learn, and support one another in real ways.

March is Women’s History Month, a time to recognize and honor the impact women have had in shaping families, communities, and systems of support.

At Family Involvement Center, we see every day how women show up as advocates, caregivers, leaders, and voices for change. So much of that work happens behind the scenes, but its impact is felt in real and lasting ways.

We’re grateful for the strength, resilience, and dedication of the women we serve, work alongside, and learn from.

Some people are carrying more than they show.

What looks okay on the outside can feel overwhelming on the inside. Not everyone has the words to explain what they’re going through.

Sending support to those doing their best to cope, even when it’s hard.

If you or someone you know needs someone to talk to, call or text 988 for free, confidential support 24/7.

A little bit of wonder and a whole lot of connection at the Mad Hatter Tea Party this past Saturday, hosted by FIC Board Director Joseph Candelaria. It was a fun and welcoming space for families to come together and enjoy the moment, with Executive Director Deidre Calcoate there as part of the experience.

There’s hope to bring something like this to FIC youth in the future, with plans already beginning to take shape.

We’re excited to spotlight Valerie VanAuker, our Board President, this month.

As a parent of adopted children navigating both the behavioral health and school systems, Valerie understands firsthand how complex these systems can be for families. Her advocacy journey led her to Family Involvement Center, where she was inspired by the organization’s commitment to helping families find support, guidance, and a stronger voice for their children.

We’re grateful for Valerie’s leadership and dedication to strengthening families and supporting the work of Family Involvement Center in our community.

Today we honor the beautiful lives lost to drug overdose.
We remember their names, their stories, and the love that still surrounds them.

Black Balloon Day is a time to stand with grieving families, break the stigma surrounding addiction, and raise awareness about the overdose crisis affecting so many communities.

Addiction does not discriminate. Recovery is possible. Compassion matters.

If you have lost someone, we see you. We stand with you. We remember with you. 🖤🎈
