The International Day of Non-Violence is observed on 2 October, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the Indian independence movement and pioneer of the philosophy and strategy of non-violence.
Gandhi, who helped lead India to independence, has been the inspiration for non-violent movements for civil rights and social change across the world. Throughout his life, Gandhi remained committed to his belief in non-violence even under oppressive conditions and in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.
In honor of Mahatma Gandhi`s birthday, International Day of Non-Violence, and Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we recognize the significant importance of choosing non-violent resolutions and of promoting peaceable yet effective solutions in each area of our lives.
Because #kindnessmatters everyday!

Today begins Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Today and beyond, we must work together to embrace diverse paths to healing from violence + oppression, commit to holding space for survivors, and center those most marginalized in all of our efforts to end Domestic Violence. It all begins with education and a commitment to hold space for survivors of all types of violence to heal in safety and without judgment. #HealHoldCenter #NoSurvivorJusticeWithoutRacialJustice

September is National Kinship Care Month. It is important to recognize that while this is usually the ideal situation for children unable to remain with their primary caregivers and can come with many rewards, the stressors this places on the kinship caregivers is also significant.
Caregiver burnout is real. We see your efforts, we see the impact it is having on your physical and emotional life.
If the stress of caregiving becomes too much, it can take a toll on your state of mind, relationships, and even your health. Taking care of yourself is not a luxury, but a necessity! Offering assistance and care to friends and loved ones providing care to their children is also important.

National Kinship Care Month is celebrated in September to recognize and support kinship caregivers who provide a safe home for children in out-of-home care.
Kinship care can include: Grandparents, Aunts and uncles, Cousins, Adult siblings, and Family friends.
Kinship care can help children maintain their cultural and familial connections, and promote their well-being. It can also reduce traumatic experiences for children, and improve their mental health outcomes.

In recognition of National Grief Awareness Day, we wish to acknowledge one of the greatest self-less acts we see in our work as child advocates, the voluntary relinquishment of one`s parental rights. We celebrate the adoption of children in need of safe and stable homes, but often forget the incredible loss that led to that place. Parents who voluntarily relinquish their rights so that their child or children can be assured of a better life than they are able to offer, demonstrate extraordinary unselfish love and sacrifice. We recognize the difficulty of making that decision, the undoubtedly heavy grief and loss a parent must endure in that process and beyond, honor them for this self-less act, and encourage them to seek healing for their grief and pain.
"You get to choose whether your past defines you or refines you."
