May is filled with all sorts of awareness month topics and we would love to address every one of them, but a few really stand out and align with our mission.
Mental Health Awareness Month
Some days it feels like every month is mental health awareness month. Today seems like a great opportunity to remind you to take care of yourself.
When we stop taking care of ourselves, we start to take a turn towards the endless dead ends. Maybe our sleep suffers, our healthy habits suffer, and/or taking care of our children begins to suffer. These things may begin to lead to mental health hardships. We can’t take care of others until we take care of ourselves.
Here are a few ways to practice self care according to EveryDayHealth.com:
- Eat a diet rich in fruits and veggies
- Meditate
- Spend time in nature
- Take dedicated breaks from electronics
- Start a gratitude journal
- Exercise
- Live in the present moment
- Get enough quality sleep
- Be kind to yourself

Better Speech and Hearing Month and Stuttering Awareness Week
As new parents or caregivers of young children, it might be hard to understand what stages of development your child is going through, especially when it comes to hearing and speaking. We want to help you support your child’s development by providing resources for you to learn from.
Our online evidence-based music language program, Sing and Speak 4 Kids, supports young children with speech development. It is a fun, interactive game for kids ages 18 months through 7 years designed to help children overcome delayed speech.
