With Valentine approaching, this is a gentle way to help children, teenagers, and adults express care and appreciation in a way that feels safe and meaningful.

This printable activity can be used either way. A child or teen can give it to an adult, or an adult can give it to a child or young person. It creates space to write down kind, specific things that matter in the relationship, not just say them out loud and move on.

For many children and young people, seeing positive words written down helps them feel noticed, valued, and emotionally secure. For adults, it can be a powerful way to strengthen connection and show care in a clear, lasting way.

Simple. Relationship-focused. Emotionally safe. Suitable for families, foster care, adoption support, and therapeutic work.

Like the photo and comment "LOVE" and we will send you a message with a link to a free PDF of this resource.

This is how leadership works

When children and families reach the U.S. border and ask for protection, they face a complicated immigration system. ​Whether alone or with family members, immigrant children who are fleeing violence or poverty are vulnerable, scared and in need of compassion. Most of all, they deserve to be heal...

We share Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of a world where there is respect and justice for all. May we never forget him and the timeless contributions he left to the world, of courage, hope, and above all, love. ❤️

Human trafficking prevention happens in everyday moments.

A safe ride home.
A warm meal.
A well-run event that keeps programs going.

These behind-the-scenes roles matter more than people realize. At Hannah’s House, drivers, kitchen helpers, and event volunteers are essential to prevention, they create stability, trust, and Positive Childhood Experiences that reduce vulnerability.

💙 Drive.
💙 Cook.
💙 Help behind the scenes.

Everyone can do something.
