Caregiving is love in action, and this National Family Caregivers Month, we celebrate all the parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends who give so much of themselves.

And to all caregivers: take care of yourselves, too. You are valued, you are appreciated, and you are never alone.

Because of your generosity, CGRC’s Essentials Backpack and Donation Drive provided children with new school supplies, shoes, socks, underwear, and clothing — the basics that help them walk into school with pride.

Together, we proved that community care makes a real difference. 💚

Your compassion continues to change lives. From all of us at Child Guidance Resource Centers — thank you for helping every child feel ready to learn and thrive.

A friendly reminder on Halloween! All kinds of children will be at your door tonight. Practice empathy and compassion- it goes so far.

We want all of you to have a happy, healthy, and safe Halloween tomorrow!
Remember: Halloween doesn’t have to look the same for every child and it's important to expect higher emotions and the potential for bigger meltdowns on exciting days. Give yourself grace and patience and see what feels right for your family this year.

Halloween can be overwhelming for kids with sensory sensitivities, but there are some simple things you can try to make it more fun for all. 🧡 Remember: Halloween doesn’t have to look the same for every child and it's important to expect higher emotions and the potential for bigger meltdowns on exciting days. Give yourself grace and patience and see what feels right for your family this year.
