Supporting moms, nourishing babies, and empowering every breastfeeding journey.

Three Benefits of Breastfeeding

1. Provides babies with important nutrients and antibodies that support a developing immune system.

2. Promotes bonding and skin-to-skin connection between mother and baby.

3. Can provide health benefits for mothers, including helping the uterus recover after childbirth and lowering the risk of certain diseases.

💜 **October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month** 💜

At Sankofa Family Resource Center, we believe that **everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, valued, and loved.**

Domestic violence can affect anyone, and sometimes the person who needs help may not feel ready to talk about what they’re experiencing. If that’s you—or if you’re worried about someone you love—please know this:

**You are not alone. You are not to blame. You deserve support.** 💜

There are people available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, who will listen, support you, and help you explore your options.

📞 **National Domestic Violence Hotline:**
**1-800-799-7233**

💬 **Chat or text support is available 24/7 in English and Spanish.**
Text **BEGIN** to **88788**

Whether you need immediate help, information, someone to talk to, or simply want to understand what resources are available, reaching out is okay.

And if someone you love is experiencing domestic violence, **believe them, listen without judgment, and remind them that they are not alone.** Sometimes knowing someone cares can be the beginning of hope. 💜

**Sankofa Family Resource Center is here to support our community with compassion, dignity, and love.**

💜 **You deserve safety. You deserve peace. You deserve to be heard.** 💜

💜 **October is National Substance Abuse Prevention Month** 💜

At Sankofa Family Resource Center, we believe that prevention starts with **awareness, education, support, and knowing that you don’t have to face things alone.**

Substance use can affect individuals, families, and entire communities. Prevention isn’t about judgment—it’s about having honest conversations, recognizing the signs, knowing where to find help, and making sure people have the support they need.

Whether you’re struggling yourself, worried about someone you love, or simply need a safe person to talk to, **reaching out is a sign of strength—not weakness.** 💜

🌱 **Need someone to talk to?**
The **PEAKE Team** is here at Sankofa Family Resource Center **once a month** to provide a safe, supportive space for individuals and families who may need someone to listen, talk, or help connect them with resources.

📅 **Our next PEAKE Team visit is October 21!**

You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t have to wait until things become a crisis. Sometimes, the first step is simply having a conversation.

💜 **Let’s talk. Let’s support one another. Let’s prevent substance use before it starts.**

🌿 VILLAGE VIBES: Because Parenting Was Never Meant to Be a Solo Sport! 🌿

Parents & Caregivers…come pull up a chair! 🪑💚

Whether you’re parenting a newborn who thinks nighttime is party time, a toddler who has 47 reasons why they need that toy, a school-age child with “I forgot” as their favorite answer, or a teenager who suddenly communicates exclusively in eye rolls…
Village Vibes is a welcoming Parent Support Group for parents and caregivers at ANY stage of the parenting journey.

Come for:
💬 Real conversations
😂 A little laughter
❤️ Encouragement & support
🤝 Connection with other parents
💡 Helpful parenting tips & resources
☕ A space where you can take a breath and remember…you are NOT the only one!

No judgment. No perfect-parent expectations. No parenting résumé required. Just come as you are!

Because sometimes you don't need another parenting book—you need a village that says, “Girl…we've been there!” 😂🙌
