Asking for help is not weakness. Talking about what you're going through is not weakness. Real friendships and relationships are built on honesty and that takes courage. It might not always be easy but it’s worth it. It starts with us.

Pedir ayuda no es una señal de debilidad. Hablar de lo que estás viviendo no significa ser débil. Las amistades y las relaciones de pareja verdaderas se basan en la honestidad, y eso requiere valor. Puede que no siempre sea fácil, pero vale la pena. Todo empieza por nosotros.

Desde pequeños nos enseñan cómo se supone que debe ser un «hombre». Pero esas reglas (ser duro, no mostrar lo que siente, no pedir ayuda) pueden causar mucho daño. Este mes hablamos de la masculinidad saludable: cómo es cuando alguien actúa con cariño, respeto y honestidad. ¿Qué historia te contaron? ¿Qué historia quieres contar?

Si buscas recursos para profundizar en este tema, consulta la guía New Mexico Healthy Masculinities en masculinitiesnm.org.

We're taught early on what a "man" is supposed to look like. But those rules (stay tough, don't show emotion, don't ask for help) can cause real harm. This month, we’re talking about healthy masculinity: what it looks like to show up with care, respect, and honesty. What story were you told? What story do you want to tell?

If you’re looking for resources to explore this further, check out the New Mexico Healthy Masculinities toolkit at masculinitiesnm.org.

Strength isn't about always being in control or staying silent. Real strength is about showing up with compassion and respect for others and for ourselves, even when it’s not easy. Together we can redefine what strength looks like so we can build safer, healthier communities.

La fortaleza no consiste en tener siempre el control ni en permanecer en silencio. La verdadera fortaleza consiste en actuar con compasión y respeto hacia las demás personas y hacia nosotros mismos, incluso cuando no es fácil. Juntos podemos redefinir el concepto de fortaleza para construir comunidades más seguras y saludables.

The Solace staff and Christus St Vincent SANE partners had a wonderful time at the Luminarias Statewide S*xual Assault Conference!

Thank you to the New Mexico Coalition of S*xual Assault Programs for organizing such an inspiring, thoughtful, and educational event.

We learned so much, connected with dedicated advocates across the state, and left feeling energized to continue supporting survivors and strengthening our community. Grateful for the conversations, training, and new partnerships.

📚 Happy National Teacher Day! 🍎

At Solace, we want to celebrate the incredible teachers who play a vital role in our community. Our Education and Prevention team is fortunate to collaborate with many dedicated educators during S*x Health Education Week for 7th and 8th graders.

Special thanks to our wonderful presenters from Resolve - Violence Prevention in New Mexico and Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains . These teachers are not only hosts but also become trusted adults that students can turn to for guidance and support.

Let’s recognize and appreciate the impact these educators have in fostering safe and informed environments for our youth!

Thank you, teachers! 💖
