Support youth and families to help them achieve an increased sense of safety, hope and belonging.

To provide the most effective, meaningful services to people seeking help from The Youth and Family Project, it is essential to fully understand what brought them to this point in their lives, and then to meet them where they're at. This process begins by assessing personal challenges, needs and strengths. Goals are established, and a plan of action is developed, based on individual skills and comfort levels. Resource information and referrals to additional sources of help are provided to address unmet needs and encourage each person to work towards achieving their own defintion of success. Program participants are greeted with purpose and hope, and are offered opportunities for growth and change. Children, teens and adults benefit from a variety of educational formats, counseling, peer-support groups, and visitation services, each designed to promote a healthy sense of self-worth and enrich relationships in their lives.

THREE MOCKTAILS. ONE SPOOKY NIGHT!

Something deliciously spooky is brewing at Nightmares Around Elm Street! Our mocktail station will be serving up three frightfully fun drinks, with something for ghosts and ghouls of all ages!

🍬 CANDY CORN SCREAM 🧡
A bright orange, fizzy concoction with a splash of lemon-lime soda! A bubbly treat that's more sweet than scary!

👀 HOCUS POCUS POP ✨
A sparkling lemonade with lemon-lime soda and a spooky eyeball marshmallow floating on top! It's a little bit magical and a whole lot of fun!

🪦 THE GRAVEYARD SIP 🍫
A delightfully spooky twist on classic chocolate milk! Creamy milk with chocolate syrup swirled around the cup makes this a sweet treat that's perfect for our littlest ghosts and goblins. No bubbles, just chocolatey goodness!

MEET OUR GUEST MIXOLOGIST!

We're excited to welcome Magen from Cibare , who is generously volunteering her mixology skills to bring these spooky sips to life! A huge thank-you to Cibare for donating the ingredients and helping us create a fun, alcohol-free experience for the whole family! 🧡

Inters*x Awareness Day: October 26 💛💜

Inters*x Awareness Day is a day to increase visibility, understanding, and support for inters*x people.

Inters*x is an umbrella term for people born with natural variations in s*x characteristics — such as chromosomes, hormones, reproductive anatomy, or other traits — that do not fit typical definitions of male or female bodies.

For youth and families, understanding matters. When communities make space for accurate information, respectful language, and dignity, it helps reduce shame and creates more room for belonging.

Inters*x people deserve dignity, respect, and the right to be supported as their full selves.

**Nature, creativity, and connection!**

Last week at Nourish & Nature, families kicked off our evening with a special activity led by a Riveredge Nature Center naturalist. Using nature as both our canvas and our materials, families created their own works of art with leaves, sticks, acorns, and more!

**Coming Up This Week: Chili & Loaded Fries Night!**

On Wednesday, October 28, we'll be making homemade chili and offering a loaded fries option. Whether you prefer a bowl of chili, chili cheese fries, or loaded fries with your favorite toppings, there's something for everyone!

📅 Wednesday, October 28
⏰ 5:00–7:00 PM
📍 Riveredge Nature Center

Families are welcome to join us for as few or as many weeks as they'd like.
