Parties can be a great way to connect, but knowing a few basics ahead of time makes a real difference. Have a plan for how you are getting there and getting home, talk with friends beforehand about how you can have each others' backs, and look out for anyone who seems uncomfortable or unsafe.
When we look after one another we can make sure everyone has a good time.

Spanish

Las fiestas pueden ser una gran oportunidad para conectarse con la gente, pero es importante tener en cuenta unos detalles básicos de antemano. Ten un plan para llegar al lugar y volver a casa, habla con tus amistades de antemano sobre cómo pueden cuidarse mutuamente y cuida de cualquier persona que parezca incómoda o en peligro.
Cuando nos cuidamos los unos a los otros, nos aseguramos de que todo el mundo lo pase bien.

Summer brings more time with friends, new experiences, and social situations that are chances to look out for each other.
Whether we are at a gathering, out in our community, or heading somewhere new, safety is something we can all take part in building by checking in with our friends, staying with people we trust, and having an idea about our boundaries ahead of time.

Spanish
El verano nos trae más tiempo para estar con nuestras amistades, nuevas experiencias y situaciones sociales que son oportunidades para cuidarnos unos a otros.
Ya sea en una reunión, por ahí en nuestra comunidad o en algún lugar nuevo, la seguridad es algo que todas y todos podemos fomentar: mantente en contacto con tus amistades, anda con gente en la que confías y ten claros tus límites desde un principio.

It's never easy saying goodbye, but we know Cassandra is off to do great things.

Cassandra has been an advocate with Sexual Assault Services of Northwest New Mexico in Gallup for close to 2 years, and we are incredibly grateful to have had her on our team. Her dedication to survivors, commitment to advocacy, and compassion for her community have made a lasting impact that will never go unnoticed.

Thank you, Cassandra, for everything you have done for Sexual Assault Services, the survivors you have supported, and the community you have served. We wish you all the best as you begin this next chapter and look forward to seeing all that you accomplish.

Good luck on your next adventure—you will be greatly missed!

Today is Say Something Nice Day!

A few kind words can brighten someone’s entire day. Take a moment to compliment, encourage, or thank someone today — kindness matters more than we realize.

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.

Image description: Photograph of two teenage boys sitting together on outdoor bleachers, engaged in conversation. The overlaid text reads: "IT TAKES COURAGE TO BE HONEST ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL." The website ItStartsWithUsNM.org and the hashtag appear at the top.

Spanish

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.

Descripción de la imagen: Imagen con fondo beige en la que aparecen tres personas sentadas platicando, con un texto en letra negrita que dice: «Se necesita valor para ser honestos sobre lo que sentimos».

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.

Spanish
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.
