Happy Fourth of July from all of us at The Village! ❤️🤍💙

As many of us spend today with family, friends, and community, we also want to share an important reminder.

Holidays like the Fourth of July can be especially challenging for those in recovery. Cookouts, parties, alcohol, and old habits or traditions can resurface.

To our clients and anyone who may be struggling today, this is your reminder to use your tools, lean on your support system, and reach out if you need help. Asking for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Please stay safe, take care of one another, and remember that recovery does not take a holiday. We are cheering you on every step of the way. ❤️

Summer is in full swing, and today's challenge is to read a book with your child!

Whether you read in the shade, by the pool, or after nap time, spending time reading together is a simple way to make summer both fun and meaningful.

No matter your child's age, reading throughout the summer helps prevent the "summer slide," which is the learning loss that can happen when children do not regularly practice reading skills.

At The Village, we love helping parents learn about developmental milestones and discover creative, everyday ways to support their child's growth. Reading together is one of the easiest and most valuable activities you can do this summer.

What's your child's favorite book? 📚

Last week, we had the opportunity to welcome Chyrel from the Rimrock team to spend time with our staff. She provided Narcan training and shared more about the services Rimrock offers.

This training left our team feeling more confident, prepared, and empowered to respond in critical moments. Beyond that, it sparked meaningful conversations about how we can continue to show up for the families we serve and support our community in deeper ways.

Chyrel brought incredible energy and knowledge to the room, it was truly inspiring to learn from someone so passionate about this work.

We’re grateful for the partnership and for the opportunity to learn alongside others who are just as committed to making a difference. Partnerships like this are what help build a stronger, healthier Billings.

Parenting doesn't come with a manual, and many of us are raising children while still learning about ourselves. That's one of the reasons The Village LLC uses the Nurturing Parenting Program.

Nurturing Parenting helps parents explore how their own childhood experiences may influence the way they parent today. It provides insight into child development so parents can better understand what behaviors are age-appropriate and what their children need at each stage of growth.

The program also teaches practical, healthy ways to connect with children through communication, empathy, positive discipline, play, and relationship-building. By understanding ourselves and our children more deeply, we can create stronger bonds, healthier family relationships, and a more nurturing home environment.

At The Village LLC, we're proud to use Nurturing Parenting as one of our evidence-based practices to support parents, strengthen families, and help build positive, lasting connections between parents and their children.

A Mother’s Saturday Morning Poem:

For My Daughters,
I don’t know how to put this into words
So i’m just going to say it as it comes

You are beautiful
More than I can ever hope to explain
More than even you can see

Your quiet calm kept carefully cradled
Your eyes stopping me every time
When i look at you, the rest of the world seems to disappear
It feels as though i could stay there, lost in them, forever
And still never want to leave
Your grace graven in my soul
How could I ever forget your perfection?
I will never fully understand the miracle of your existence or the magic you carry so effortlessly within you
Full of opportunity, light and love absolute
A radiance even the moons halo would wish to emulate

Life-long prayers answered
How kind the gods have been to allow such Gorgeous Girls to walk this earth
Blessings beyond belief
If I was given the choice to live this life again
I would choose it all over
No questions
And without a moments hesitation..
That’s it. That’s everything
I love you, my daughters ❤️
