A few highlights from our CAFY Pop-In Picnic last week⛱️

Together, we painted kindness rocks with positive messages to brighten someone's day and promote mental health awareness. We also distributed Medication Safe Home Toolkits, which include safety checklists, Naloxone, Parent Up resources, and tips to help families prioritize safe medication practices at home.

It was a great afternoon of lunch, community, and meaningful conversations. Thank you to everyone who stopped by 🧡💚💛
