Family caregivers often face severe emotional and physical strain—over 40% report symptoms of depression and burnout, and many sacrifice their own health and stability to care for loved ones with little support or respite.

This week is Trans Awareness Week. 🌈
We honor trans and non-binary individuals, acknowledge the challenges they face, and celebrate their resilience. Let’s uplift trans voices and work toward a world that is safe, affirming, and inclusive for all.

For decades, Indigenous children were taken from their families and sent to government- and church-run boarding schools where they faced abuse and were forbidden to speak their languages. The trauma of these policies still impacts Native communities today.

Today we honor all who have served.
Your courage, resilience, and sacrifice inspire us.
Thank you, veterans. 💙🇺🇸
