June is Men’s Health Awareness Month.

This month is a reminder that taking care of yourself is important too. Many men are taught to stay strong, keep going, and carry stress quietly, but health is not just physical. Mental and emotional wellness matter too.

Sometimes checking in with yourself, getting rest, talking to someone, or simply slowing down for a moment can make a big difference. Nobody has to go through difficult moments alone.

Take care of yourself and check in on the people around you too.

June is Employee Wellness Month, a reminder that caring for ourselves matters too.
Many people spend their days supporting others through recovery, treatment, outreach, prevention, and community care. While the work can be meaningful, it can also be exhausting at times.

This month reminds us to slow down when needed, check in with ourselves and each other, and remember that wellness is important for everyone. Even small moments of rest, support, and kindness can make a difference.

It was a meaningful day filled with connection, support, conversations, games, food, and community resources for youth, families, and local partners. Seeing everyone come together reminded us how important it is to create safe spaces where young people feel supported, heard, and connected.

We are grateful to everyone who helped make the events special.

Sometimes healing looks like showing up, trying something new, and realizing you are stronger than you thought.

Residents from Omni Center and Mariposa recently participated in a Muay Thai workshop through the Strong Path Program at CrossFit BLVD. The session gave residents a chance to move, release stress, build confidence, and support one another along the way.

During National Prevention Week, we raise awareness about the importance of prevention, mental wellness, and community support. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), long-term methamphetamine use can affect emotions, memory, and decision-making, impacting overall health and wellbeing.

Prevention starts with education, open conversations, and strong community connections. Talking with youth and loved ones about stress, mental health, and healthy coping skills can help support individuals and families before challenges grow. Together, we can continue promoting prevention, awareness, and healthier communities for all.
