💙 November is Men’s Mental Health Month.

A reminder that it’s okay to not be okay. You don’t have to have all the answers, and you don’t have to face things alone.

Let’s break the stigma, check in on the men in our lives, encourage open conversations, and remind one another that asking for help is a sign of strength.

Your mental health matters. You matter. 💚

Yesterday at Kitchen Connections, families had a blast on an Alphabet scavenger hunt, searching the room for sticky note letters to add to our letter sheet.
The children got a great workout for their hand muscles by squeezing water out of sponges in our sensory bin.
Their creativity truly shined as they made leaf process art by coloring coffee filter leaves and then spraying them with water to watch the colors blend beautifully.
Meanwhile, Chef Shaun and his little helpers whipped up a tasty tomato sauce packed with chopped veggies to go with spaghetti and meatballs.
Families enjoyed this delicious meal together, and the day wrapped up with a lively group circle.

A big thank you to United Way Hastings & Prince Edward & Prince Edward for making this program possible!
