In April, we are celebrating Family Strengthening Month!
Indicated with blue, this month emphasizes organizations assisting to reunite families, navigating trauma, and providing training to handle complex living arrangements.
Some of our staff are covering their spring gardens in blue (flowers or pinwheels).
How can blue bloom in your life?
We would like to share our thanks to all the home visitors who partner with families to raise strong healthy children.
