Su***de risks have risen for teens & preteens. Prevention starts with a su***de safety plan that helps your child cope & rely on trusted adults.

As many of you may already know, starting November 1, around 42 million Americans — roughly 1 in 8 people in this country — could see their SNAP benefits suspended due to the ongoing federal funding impasse.

For families with children, this pause in food-assistance support means increased stress, tighter budgets, and harder choices when it comes to groceries, nutrition, and everyday essentials.

At Kids First Pediatrics, we stand with our families and want to make sure you are aware of this development — and know some of the steps you can take now to get ahead of it.

What you can do right now:

✅ Check-in on your monthly budget: if your household receives SNAP, plan for this possible disruption.

✅ Explore local food bank/pantry resources in your area now. They may become more heavily relied upon.

✅ If your child has special nutritional needs (allergies, supplemental nutrition, etc.), talk to us about options and supports.

✅ Stay informed: state agencies and your local office may post updates about alternative food-assistance programs and emergency resources.

A message of support:
We understand this is an uncertain time for many families. Our team at Kids First Pediatrics is here not just for your child’s health check-ups, but to help you navigate broader family wellness, including food security and nutrition. Please reach out if you need assistance or referrals — we’re here to help. We are proud to support the NWI Food Bank to help families throughout our community. Please see the attached image for Upcoming Mobile Markets throughout the month of November.

Measles spreads fast and is extremely contagious... but after children receive the MMR shots, their immune systems can spot measles, mumps, and rubella. So if they are exposed to these germs, their bodies will be ready to resist.

As measles cases continue to climb, it’s more important than ever to ensure kids are up to date on their vaccines. We are always ready to talk with parents about the MMR vaccine if they have any questions.
