Introducing Protective Factor Friday!

At A Healthy Lynnfield, prevention isn’t only about reducing risks — it’s also about building the things that help our kids and families thrive.

That’s why we’re launching Protective Factor Friday, a new weekly series highlighting the everyday people, relationships, skills and experiences that help young people feel supported, make healthy choices, navigate challenges and ask for help when they need it.

Each Friday, we’ll spotlight one protective factor, explain why it matters, and share a simple way we can strengthen it right here in Lynnfield.

We’re starting with one of the most important: BELONGING.

When young people feel connected — to their family, school, friends, teams, clubs or community — they know they have people and places where they matter.

This weekend, try a simple check-in:
Ask someone, “How are you — really?” Sometimes a small moment of connection can make a big difference.

Because prevention happens in everyday moments. And together, we can keep building a healthier, more connected Lynnfield.

A beautiful purple lantern-making project took place last night at Beaver Dam Brook Reservation in Lynnfield, bringing our community together in recognition of National Recovery Month and in support of the upcoming Night of Hope.

The project was organized by recent Lynnfield High School graduate Lorelei Eckhardt as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project. Through her work, Lorelei is helping raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind those impacted by substance use that recovery is possible and no one has to walk the journey alone. 💜

Pictured with Lorelei are her mom, Diane Courtney, a member of the A Healthy Lynnfield Coalition, and Carmella Dalton, founder of the Think of Michael Foundation and fellow Coalition member.

The purple lanterns created through this project will help shine a light on hope, remembrance, recovery, and community as we lead up to the annual Night of Hope on Sunday, September 27, hosted by A Healthy Lynnfield and the Think of Michael Foundation.

We are so proud to see a young member of our community using her leadership and creativity to make a meaningful difference. 💜

This year, students across Lynnfield will see a new message on their school buses—one that reminds us that belonging matters.

Research consistently shows that strong connections to family, friends, school, and community are important protective factors for youth. When young people feel seen, supported, respected, and connected, they are better equipped to navigate challenges and make healthy choices.

That’s why A Healthy Lynnfield is proud to partner with Lynnfield Public Schools to bring these messages of kindness, inclusion, respect, and belonging to the places our students see every day.

Because every ride to school is an opportunity to remind our young people...You belong here. We’re glad you’re here. And we’re in this together.

We all know someone. A friend. A neighbor. A family member. A classmate. A coworker. Someone we love.

Too often, stigma keeps us from saying it out loud. But we need to be able to talk about substance use and addiction openly, without shame or judgment.

Addiction is a disease—not a moral failing. And people struggling with substance use deserve compassion, support, and access to help.

On International Overdose Awareness Day, let’s work toward a community where we can have honest conversations, support one another, and remind those who are struggling that they are not alone and help is available.

Erase the stigma. Start the conversation. Save a life.

Thank you to all of the caregivers and tweens that came out this morning for yoga with Lee Kouyoumdjian. What a great way to start the weekend and kickoff the school year! Sometimes the best way to connect with our kids is simply to slow down, be present, and make space to enjoy something together. 🧘 💙 💛

You may notice purple bows appearing around Lynnfield. They are a visible reminder of lives lost, lives changed, and the hope that recovery is possible.

On August 31st, International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember those we have lost to overdose, honor the grief of the families and friends who carry their memory, and stand with those whose lives have been impacted by substance use.

The bows also mark the beginning of National Recovery Month throughout September — a time to celebrate the strength of people in recovery, recognize the families and communities who support them, and remind everyone that recovery is possible and help is available.

Our month of recognition will culminate on Sunday, September 27th with our annual Night of Hope, hosted by A Healthy Lynnfield and the Think of Michael Foundation. Together, our community will gather to remember, support, celebrate recovery, and share hope.

We hope you all will join us!
