This month is a reminder to pause and think about how alcohol can affect our health, relationships, and everyday choices.

Prevention starts with simple, honest conversations. Talking openly about risks, setting clear expectations, and modeling responsible choices can help kids feel more confident making healthy decisions.

It doesn’t have to be one big talk: small, everyday moments can have a lasting effect.

🚨 Lead Poisoning Is Still Hurting Our Children — and Their Mental Health 🚨
Lead poisoning may sound like a problem of the past, but thousands of children are still exposed every year — often in homes, schools, and communities where families least expect it.
Even small amounts of lead can have serious and lasting effects on a child’s developing brain, including:
🧠 Learning difficulties and lower academic performance
💭 Attention and behavioral challenges
😟 Increased anxiety, mood regulation issues, and emotional struggles
📉 Delays in cognitive and social development
Because children’s brains are still growing, lead exposure can impact not only physical health but also mental health and lifelong well-being.
Join CGRC and other community organizations for this discussion to help raise awareness and find resolutions. Let's advocate for safer housing and ensure every child has the chance to grow up healthy and thriving. 💛

Would you recognize the early signs of psychosis in a teen or young adult?

Changes in behavior, withdrawal, confusion, or unusual thoughts can be easy to miss—or misunderstood. But early support can make a life-changing difference.

Join Child Guidance Resource Centers (CGRC) for a live panel designed to help parents and caregivers better understand psychosis, what to look for, and how to support a young person who may be struggling.

You’ll walk away with:
✔️ Signs to watch for
✔️ How to start the conversation
✔️ Where to go for help

At CGRC, we’re here to support families, caregivers, and the people who show up for others—because no one should have to navigate this alone.

We’re encouraged to see athletes like Dante Moore using their platforms to speak openly about mental health. Moments like this help break down stigma and remind us that mental health matters — at every level, in every space.

At Child Guidance Resource Centers, we believe that talking about mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness. When young people, leaders, and public figures speak up, it creates space for others to do the same — and that’s how real change begins.

We celebrate and support every voice that helps move this conversation forward.

Because no one should feel alone in what they’re facing.

A few weeks ago, Child Guidance Resource Centers hosted “Bridging the Gap: Better Health for Every Neighbor,” bringing together legislators, organizations, and community leaders to talk about real challenges — and real solutions.
We captured this important conversation on video, and we’d love for you to take a look.
🎥 Watch, learn, and join us in working toward better health for every neighbor.

Not everyone has equal access to healthcare—but that’s something we can change. Bridging the Gap brings resources, support, and care directly into our commu...
