Summer is here.

Heat, water, schedule changes, and crowded places can be especially challenging for children on the autism spectrum. Some children may not say they feel hot, thirsty, dizzy, or overwhelmed, so it helps to watch for signs like irritability, fatigue, flushed cheeks, sudden refusal of activities, or increased sensory distress.

A few simple supports can help: favorite cups or straws, cold drinks, popsicles, fruit, visual timers, and regular “drink breaks” every 20 minutes.

Thank you to ABS Kids for sharing these autism-friendly summer safety tips for families.

Parenting a teenager can be beautiful, stressful, confusing, and everything in between. Triple P Teen helps parents build supportive tools to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and create more positive, less stressful family experiences. Over 8 weeks, parents begin with 4 in-person group sessions, continue with 3 one-on-one mentoring sessions, and finish with a final group graduation. This class is for parents who want more connection, fewer power struggles, and practical support for the teen years. Get notified when sign-ups start by emailing [email protected].

The five weeks between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are recognized as Family Strengthening Month, a time to celebrate the strength of families and encourage simple, meaningful moments of connection.

In Utah and across the country, this month is a reminder that strong families are built through everyday interactions: eating dinner together, putting devices away, asking real questions, playing outside, or making time to listen.

This month, we invite families to choose one small way to connect. Put the phones away for dinner. Take a walk. Ask your child about the best part of their day. Play in the sprinklers. Read together before bed. Becasue a connected family, is a strong family!

LifeStart Village gives single parents and their children more than shelter. It gives them a safe place to heal, rebuild, and move toward lasting stability. Through housing, case management, parenting support, life skills, financial education, and a community that walks beside them, families at LifeStart Village are building stronger futures step by step.

At Family Support Center, we believe families deserve the chance to feel safe, stable, and supported while they work toward permanent housing and greater independence. Learn more at https://www.familysupportcenter.org/lifestart-village

Today, we pause to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Memorial Day is a day of reflection, gratitude, and remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice so others could live in freedom.

May we carry their courage, service, and sacrifice with us, not just today, but every day.
