Are you exhausted before the day even starts? 😔
There's a name for that. It's called the invisible mental load, and it's running in the background of your brain 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even while you sleep.
At our next Women's Health Support Group session, we're talking about:
✔️ Why you're so depleted even when you "haven't done anything"
✔️ The science behind why your body feels this way
✔️ Micro self-care that actually works when you have no time, no money, and no energy

🛡️ PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN STARTS WITH EDUCATION 🛡️
Did you know that 1 in 10 children will experience sexual abuse before age 18? Even more concerning, only 38% ever tell anyone. Fear keeps them silent.
That's why SCAN (Stop Child Abuse and Neglect) exists.
Our FREE I Can Tell program breaks the silence by empowering children Pre-K through 6th grade with the tools to recognize unsafe situations and speak up to trusted adults. In just 60 minutes, we teach life-saving skills that fulfill Ohio's Erin's Law requirements.
✅ FREE for schools and community groups
✅ Certified through the State of Ohio
✅ Served 60,000+ children in the past 2 years across 50+ schools
✅ Evidence-based curriculum proven to reduce child sexual abuse
WE ALSO OFFER STEWARDS OF CHILDREN; a powerful training for adults to prevent, recognize, and respond to child sexual abuse in their families, organizations, and communities.

👉 Ready to bring SCAN to your school, daycare, or community group?
