Taking care of our mental wellness is just as important as taking care of our physical health. It impacts every aspect of our lives, from how we handle challenges to how we connect with others. That's why incorporating activities like meditation, journaling, exercising, and spending time outdoors can make a big difference in our mental well-being.

By prioritizing these practices, we can cultivate a more positive mindset, reduce stress, and increase our overall happiness. Check out SPIRITT programs at www.spiritt.org to discover new ways to boost your mental wellness and live your best life. 💚🌿.

On June 20th, SPIRITT Family Services and Rio Hondo College hosted community members and their youth for a transformative campus visit, part of our ongoing commitment to provide mental health support resources while seeking a higher education.

By connecting families directly with college staff and campus programs, we’re breaking down barriers and expanding horizons. This hands-on experience not only illustrates college life but also reinforces the belief that education can be a powerful tool for healing, growth, and lasting community resilience.

On June 9th, SPIRITT hosted a heartfelt Guitar Showcase featuring performances from seven dedicated youth. The evening included a powerful group performance and a moving solo, highlighting the growth and talent of our students.

One mother shared how her son, who lost his father in 2021, has found healing through music. As he navigates the challenges of adolescence and grief, learning the guitar has become a healthy outlet, building his confidence, reducing screen time, and inspiring daily practice. She expressed deep gratitude for the support her family has received through SPIRITT. This event was more than a performance; it was a celebration of resilience, expression, and the power of community.
