You’ll learn practical tools that help reduce power struggles, improve cooperation, strengthen routines, and make everyday family life feel more manageable. 💗

We are excited to share an opportunity from our community partner, Mat-Su Health Foundation!

Are you an artist in the Mat-Su Valley, or know someone who is? Mat-Su Health Foundation is looking to connect with talented artists from across the Mat-Su Valley to build a roster of local artists for some of their upcoming projects, like their building refresh and hospital expansion.

Whether you create paintings, take pictures, sculpt, make jewelry, sew quilts, do woodwork, or something that is uniquely your own, they want to see your work.

Help celebrate the incredible creativity in our community by submitting your artwork or sharing this opportunity with an artist you know!
