• play outside
• cook together
• share stories about family history

Small moments of connection matter.

Supporting Families

Strong families help children thrive.

Sometimes support can be simple:

• checking in with a parent
• offering help when someone is overwhelmed
• listening without judgment

When families feel supported, children benefit.

Parenting and Mental Health

Parenting can bring many emotions.

Joy. Stress. Connection. Exhaustion.

Support matters for parents too.

Taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your children.

Checking in with ourselves and with one another matters.

A simple “How are you doing?” can help someone feel seen, supported, and less alone.

Thank you to everyone who blessed us tonight with your presence, songs, drumming, and prayers.

A special thank you to everyone who brought food to share, and to those who helped with setup, cleanup, and serving as MC.

It was wonderful to see our community come together to visit, laugh, sing, dance, and support one another.

Much love and gratitude to all. ❤️

Children are more likely to open up when they feel listened to.

Ways to help children feel heard:

• give them your full attention
• listen without interrupting
• take their feelings seriously
• ask questions with curiosity

When children feel heard, they feel valued.

Question:
What helped you feel heard when you were growing up?

What Children Remember

Children rarely remember every rule or lesson.

But they do remember how adults made them feel.

They remember:

• patience
• encouragement
• feeling safe
• feeling loved

Those moments shape who they become.

💙

Question:
What is something an adult did for you that you still remember today?
