In Our Community This Month
September
Hispanic Heritage Month
Although we are lifting up diversity all year round in Jeffco, it is especially important to recognize the contributions and achievements of Hispanic Americans between September 15th and October 15th. Please visit hispanicheritagemonth.gov to learn more about events happening around the country and in our local area to celebrate how generations of Hispanic Americans have enriched our society.
Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
Week 3: TAKE CARE
All month, mental health advocates, prevention organizations, survivors, allies, and community members unite to promote suicide prevention awareness. Week Three's topic is TAKE CARE. We do a much better job as caregivers when we prioritize our own self-care. View the TAKE CARE flyer to get started.
Jeffco will also be offering QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) trainings for parents and caregivers. Check the website for the schedule.
