As we wrap up National Prevention Week, we want to remind our community that prevention starts with connection, healthy coping skills, education, and supportive conversations.

Sometimes prevention looks like the small everyday choices that help us care for our mental health, reduce stress, build relationships, and create healthier communities. Whether it’s spending time outdoors, connecting with loved ones, practicing self care, volunteering, or finding positive outlets, every healthy choice matters.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support prevention, recovery, mental wellness, and substance use awareness in our communities. Together, we can continue building hope, resilience, and stronger futures.

Today is International Day of Families 💙

At Oakland Community Health Network, we recognize that every family looks different. Family can be the people you are born into, the friends who become family, coworkers who support you, neighbors, caregivers, mentors, or the people who simply show up when you need them most.

Connection and support matter, and meaningful relationships can make a powerful impact on our mental health and wellbeing.

Today is a reminder to reach out to the people who make up your family and let them know they matter to you. A simple text, call, or conversation can make all the difference.

As we close out Nurses Week, we celebrate the incredible nurses at Oakland Community Health Network and throughout our community. 💙

Nurses Week culminates on May 12th, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, whose legacy continues to inspire compassion, advocacy, and care around the world.

“How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.” – Florence Nightingale

Thank you to every nurse making a difference each and every day.

This Mother’s Day, we honor all women and the many ways nurturing, strength, compassion, and love show up in our lives.

To those who are mothers, grieving mothers, hoping to become mothers, chosen mothers, grandmothers, caregivers, mentors, aunties, and women who have loved and supported others like a mother… we see you.

And for those who may not physically be a mother, thank you to the women who poured into you, cared for you, encouraged you, and helped shape your journey.

Today can bring joy, grief, gratitude, longing, or mixed emotions. Whatever this day means to you, please know you are not alone.

From all of us at Oakland Community Health Network, we celebrate the impact of women in every form.

Today is Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day 💚

Every child deserves to feel seen, supported, safe, and heard. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and early support can make a lasting difference in a child’s life.

Let’s continue creating spaces where children and families can talk openly about emotions, ask for help without fear, and access the care and resources they need to thrive.

Together, we can help build stronger, healthier futures for our children.
