Celebrating the Strength and Legacy of Women | |
|
March is Women’s History Month, a time to honor the trailblazers, innovators, and changemakers who have shaped history and continue to inspire progress. From advocating for equal rights to breaking barriers in every field, women have played a vital role in building stronger communities, leading movements, and paving the way for future generations.
SPIRITT Family Services extends our heartfelt gratitude to State Farm representative Ben Tran for his generous support in celebrating Women’s History Month. In recognition of the incredible women who drive our mission forward, Ben provided a catered lunch for SPIRITT staff, fostering a spirit of appreciation, inclusion, and community.
At SPIRITT Family Services, we recognize the resilience, contributions, and leadership of women in our communities. By empowering women and advocating for equity, we create opportunities for growth, success, and lasting change. Here at SPIRITT, our leadership team including supervisors represented by women is 18 of 21 (86%). This month, and every month, we celebrate the strength, courage, and achievements of women everywhere.

Advancing Disabilities Awareness and Inclusion | |
March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the needs, challenges, and potential of individuals with developmental disabilities. These conditions, often identified in childhood, can impact physical, learning, language, and behavioral development. Early diagnosis and intervention play a crucial role in long-term growth, with screenings and milestone monitoring helping to identify and address developmental delays. This month also highlights the importance of inclusion, accessibility, and the programs that empower individuals to thrive in school, work, and daily life. | |
