  • Practicing Gratitude

    Posted by AnnaGrace Baldwin on 11/25/2024

    As Thanksgiving approaches, our thoughts naturally shift to gratitude. Did you know practicing thankfulness every day is healthy?

    In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.

  • Understanding the Facts about Vaping

    Posted by AnnaGrace Baldwin on 11/7/2024

    Vaping, or the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems, continues to be an issue among young people across our country. In the past, many experts thought youth vaping was mostly the result of peer pressure, but new studies reveal the reasons teens vape are much more complicated. Many teens report they vape to help deal with difficult emotions such as stress, depression, anxiety, and feeling overwhelmed.

    Below, you will find information to help you understand vaping as well as conversation starters and additional resources. You can use your positive influence to help your child stay vape-free.
