?? Happy Thanksgiving! ?? As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, it's important to remember the value of unplugging from work. The holidays can be tough, but they also offer a wonderful opportunity to recharge. Take a moment to step away from your daily grind and enjoy the company of loved ones. Whether it's sharing a meal, reminiscing about cherished memories, or simply taking a quiet moment for yourself, these small acts can make a big difference. Let's embrace the spirit of gratitude and togetherness this Thanksgiving. Wishing everyone a peaceful and joyful holiday! #Thanksgiving #UnplugToReconnect #FamilyTime #SelfCare #Gratitude

?? Raising Awareness: Youth Homelessness in Contra Costa County ?? ??There were an estimated 3,346 children and youth experiencing homelessness during the 2023-24 school year in Contra Costa County. ??What is homelessness? According to the McKinney-Vento Act, homelessness is when individuals and families lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. ???Did you know? Youth experiencing homelessness often move between different arrangements, including staying in shelters, unsheltered locations, and with other people temporarily because they have nowhere else to go. #NHYAM #youthHOPEmonth Source: Chapin Hall, Missed Opportunities: Youth Homelessness in America National Estimates ??Youth without a high school credential are 346% more likely to experience homelessness than their peers who completed high school. #NHYAM #youthHOPEmonth Source: Chapin Hall, Missed Opportunities: Youth Homelessness in America National Estimates ??Learn more and support youth experiencing homelessness: https://lnkd.in/gPBBCizm

?? International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day ?? On Saturday, November 23, 2024, we recognize International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, also known as Survivor Day. It was established in 1999 by Senator Harry Reid, who lost his father to suicide. This day is designated by the United States Congress to provide healing and support for those affected by suicide. Survivor Day always falls on the Saturday before American Thanksgiving, because the holidays can be a particularly difficult time for suicide loss survivors.
