National Family Month

The United States Department of Mental Health has declared June as National Family Month. According to KidsPeace, a charity dedicated to serving the behavioral and mental health needs of children, families and communities, National Family Month is an important step toward building a nation of confident kids as well as stronger and healthier families. Strong families share qualities like trust, communication, affection and enjoying their time together. For tips on building strong family bonds, visit these websites:
