Mentorship happens in the small, consistent moments.

☕ Conversations over coffee
🍽️ Shared meals
🎉 Social outings and shared experiences
📚 Support with school and life goals

Through our Children of Incarcerated Parents (CIP) program, youth receive personalized mentorship along with access to resources like tutoring, mental health support, and life coaching.

Support from partners like Verizon helps make these moments possible, creating space for connection, trust, and growth.

We’re grateful for their partnership.

In honor of National Social Work Month, we’re recognizing some of the social workers who are part of the NWFS team. 💙

We asked them: “Why is social work meaningful to you?”

Their reflections speak to the heart of this work, building trust, supporting stability, and helping people access the resources and care they need.

We’re thankful for the knowledge, compassion, and commitment they bring to our community every day.

Stress affects everyone, and how we cope matters.

National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week is a reminder that stress can influence health and decision-making. NIDA notes that stress has been linked to substance use, which is why healthy coping tools and supportive conversations matter, especially for young people.

Taking a walk, talking to someone you trust, journaling, resting, or asking for support are all healthy ways to respond to stress.

Overdose can happen anywhere, to anyone. Knowing how to respond can save a life.

Naloxone (Narcan) is safe, easy to use, and available in many communities without a prescription.

As part of National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week, we’re sharing 5 simple steps to help you recognize and respond to an opioid overdose.
