Talking to a friend about their mental health can feel scary or awkward. But, it's important to reach out to your friends if they seem like they may be struggling! Even an imperfectly worded conversation is often better than none - but these tips may help the conversation flow smoothly. 🌲

Spring is here, and it's the perfect time to look outside for sources of wellness inspiration! Today, we want to provide a sprinkle of information on how the rain can help inspire wellness. 🌧️💧☔

This Mother’s Day, we hold space for everyone in our community. 💜 We honor mothers, caregivers, survivors, chosen family, and those who nurture and support others in ways both seen and unseen. We also recognize those who are grieving, missing loved ones, estranged from family, or finding this day especially difficult. For many survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, days like today can bring complicated emotions. Whatever this day means for you — whether it brings joy, grief, healing, love, or loneliness — you are not alone. Today and every day, we remain committed to creating a community rooted in safety, support, dignity, and healing for all.

Thank you so much to the Schnitzer Cares Foundation and the wonderful students from Astoria Middle School, Seaside Middle School, and Seaside High School for your support! Because of your generosity, survivors will have greater access to safety, advocacy, and the support they need to heal and move forward. That impact is real, and it matters. We feel so lucky to be part of a community with youth like this. Thank you for your heart, your leadership, and your belief in this work. 💜

Happy Watery Wellness Wednesday! 🌊🐚🪸 One way to practice wellness it to take inspiration from the world around you - and as spring is springing into action around us, there's no better time to be looking to the outdoors for inspiration!

May 4–8 is the National Week of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR) ❤️ Indigenous women and relatives face disproportionate rates of violence, including domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and trafficking. These are not isolated incidents—they are part of a larger pattern of harm that continues to impact Tribal communities. By the numbers: • Indigenous women experience murder rates up to 10x the national average in some areas • 56.1% have experienced sexual violence • Over 10,000 missing Indigenous persons reports were filed in 2024 • 95% of cases receive little to no mainstream media coverage Behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a community. We stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities, honor those who are missing, and remember those whose lives were taken. Raising awareness is one step toward justice, visibility, and change. 📣 Join the movement: Share the official poster, display it in your space, and post using #MMIWRWeekofAction to help build a national wall of visibility.

For Day 30 of #30daysofsaam You did it. Thirty days of showing up, learning, listening, and choosing to care. And that matters. As this month comes to a close, thank you. To the survivors who trusted us with their stories. To the advocates and volunteers who continue to show up. To our partners and community who stood with us. And to everyone who engaged in any way… you are part of this. This work doesn’t end here. We carry it forward in how we show up for each other every day. And don’t forget to thank yourself. Because you showed up. And that matters.

For Day 29 of #30daysofsaam , we came together for our Walk of Unshame and Denim Day. So grateful for this community. 💙 Thank you to everyone who showed up and stood with us today. Together, we’re raising awareness, challenging harmful myths, and supporting survivors. What someone wears is never consent. Ever. We also want to highlight the incredible denim pockets created by local high school students, your messages are powerful and inspiring.

Shame doesn’t belong to survivors. Join us tomorrow at 12 PM for our Walk of Unshame outside of Mo’s. Wear teal and denim, grab a sign, decorate a pocket, and walk with us. Coupons for FREE fries and tacos will be provided.

For day 28 of #30daysofsaam Prevention does not end in April. This is our growing prevention team at The Harbor, expanding this work across our community. Through culturally relevant programs with families, EResilience in Motion, summer bystander intervention in nightlife spaces, partnerships with middle and high schools, our 2SLGBTQIA+ advocacy work, and upcoming Green Dot community intervention events, we are building safer, more connected communities. Keep an eye on our socials for details on upcoming events and ways to get involved. Stay connected and be part of the change. *not pictured- Jennyfer and Nayeli, Co-Directors of our Latinx Program
