September is Su***de Prevention Month, and we want to remind our community of something incredibly important: you matter, and help is available. đź’ś

For someone experiencing domestic violence or abuse, feelings of fear, isolation, hopelessness, or being trapped can become overwhelming. No one should have to carry those feelings alone.

If you are struggling—or you’re concerned about someone you love—please reach out. Asking for help is a sign that you deserve support, safety, and the opportunity for things to get better.

A special thanks to the Sisters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Marion, who handmade these wonderfully unique SOAP S.A.C.K. which stands for Supporting Community With Kindness and includes a bar of soap. Each month since April the Sisters have put together and donated hygiene, cleaning supplies and other items to Hands of Hope to support victims of domestic violence, sexual violence and stalking. It has been such a blessing to us and we wanted to show them some kindness in return. Thank you ladies!

Recovery is not about forgetting what you’ve been through. It’s about discovering that your story can continue beyond it. 💜

During National Recovery Month, we honor every survivor who is healing, rebuilding, rediscovering their strength, and learning what it feels like to live life on their own terms.

Healing doesn’t have a timeline. Some days may feel like huge steps forward, while others may simply be about making it through the day. Both are progress.

To every survivor: your past does not define your future. Your voice matters. Your choices matter. Your healing matters. YOU matter.

And when you’re ready for support, Hands of Hope is here to walk alongside you—with compassion, confidentiality, and without judgment.

There is hope. There is healing. And there is a future waiting for you. đź’ś

Preventing bullying starts with the conversations we have at home. đź’ś

In today’s reel, Katie is talking directly to parents about the important role we play in teaching children and teens how to treat others.

Talk with your kids about kindness, empathy, respect, boundaries, and speaking up when they see someone being mistreated. Remind them that their words and actions matter—at school, online, on the field, and everywhere in between.

And just as importantly, make sure your child knows you are a safe person to come to if they are being bullied, witnessing bullying, or struggling with how to handle a situation.

We may not be able to control every interaction our children have, but we can help shape how they treat others and how they respond when something isn’t right.

Take a few minutes to listen to Katie’s message, then start the conversation at home. 💜

It truly takes a village to help children grow into confident, resilient, and healthy adults. đź’ś

Parents and guardians play an irreplaceable role, but it’s also okay—and often beneficial—for children to build safe, positive relationships with other trusted adults. Teachers, coaches, grandparents, aunts, uncles, mentors, youth leaders, and family friends can all become valuable sources of encouragement, guidance, and support.

When children know they have multiple trusted adults they can turn to, they are more likely to:
đź’ś Feel safe and supported
đź’ś Build confidence and resilience
đź’ś Make healthy choices
đź’ś Develop positive relationships
đź’ś Reach out when they need help

No parent is meant to do it all alone. Together, we can create a community where every child feels seen, heard, valued, and protected.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence or needs support, Hands of Hope is here to help with FREE & confidential services, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Bullying can affect a child’s emotional well-being, confidence, relationships, and ability to feel safe at school. Recognizing possible warning signs early can help parents and trusted adults begin a supportive conversation before the situation becomes more serious. 💜

Possible signs may include:

• Sudden changes in mood, behavior, sleep, or eating habits
• Frequently asking to stay home or avoid school
• Unexplained injuries or missing/damaged belongings
• A decline in grades or loss of interest in activities
• Withdrawing from friends, family, or social situations
• Increased anxiety, sadness, irritability, or low self-esteem
• Complaints of headaches, stomachaches, or feeling unwell before school

These signs do not always mean bullying is occurring, but they may indicate that a child needs additional support. Approach the conversation calmly, listen without judgment, reassure them that they are not to blame, and work with the school or other trusted adults when appropriate.

Every child deserves to feel heard, respected, and safe.
