CALM

CALM CALM envisions safe communities where every family is supported and every child thrives. Jackie was not ready to become a parent.

Imagine a world where all parents are supported and all children thrive. After her baby was born, she was so depressed, she didn't want to leave the house. She could barely look at her baby, and resented him every time he cried. Fortunately, a CALM home visitor met Jackie and got her help for her depression. The CALM worker taught Jackie how important speaking, singing and reading is to her baby's

developing brain. Jackie learned about child development and appropriate expectations. Today, Jackie and her son have a happy, healthy relations and they are both thriving. CALM....protecting the most important relationship in the world.

Daniel was a grieving single father, struggling to care for his newborn alongside four other children. He knew he couldn't give up, so he reached out to CALM for help.

Through home visitation, he worked on processing his grief, gained confidence as a caregiver, and learned about vital resources for his family – all without worrying about transportation or childcare. Today, the children are thriving and Daniel is leading his family forward with strength and hope.

During Pride Month, and always, show support for LGBTQ+ youth as they navigate a world where it's not always easy to be themselves.

Let them know they are loved, accepted, and supported. Give them safe opportunities to open up. And, help them connect with others.
