Monthly Newsletter | June 2020
Your #HealthyMinds Update
This year has been challenging for many families due to events in our country and around the world. But June is still a month for us to embrace important observances, including PTSD Awareness and LGBTQ Pride. It can also be a time to enjoy beautiful weather and summer activities for kids.

Remember to talk with the young people in your life to help them process their feelings. Whether they're feeling disappointment, stress, or uncertainty, offer them space to share what's on their mind, and remind them of both big and small things to look forward to.

Please check out our website for more resources, and help us to share them with others!
