That’s a wrap on Sukkot 😎

Shoutout to everyone who joined us for the many events we held in our beautiful Sukkah!

Lucky for you, the Sukkah will stay up for a few more days, so head to our parking lot asap to hang out and grab a #SukkahSelfie (tag us!) before it comes down on October 5.

Join clinical social worker (and mom) Melissa Kilbride for this unique in person workshop 🥳⁠
⁠
She'll be discussing the importance of early sexual health education as an issue of safety and as a path to later healthy relationships. This workshop is intended for parents of toddlers through tweens--because these conversations come up earlier than you think!⁠
