Feeding your baby is one of the most important decisions you’ll make—and now Nevada families have a new tool to make it easier. Nevada Breastfeeds is a resource from the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH) designed to connect parents with free, family-friendly breastfeeding supports across the state.
Across the United States, millions of grandparents are stepping in to raise their grandchildren — often unexpectedly, and often without the safety net of the foster care system. While these “grandfamilies” provide stability and love, they frequently do so with limited financial support, legal authority, or access to resources.
November is a time for giving thanks—for family, friends, and the little moments that make each day special. Whether your table is set for a big Thanksgiving feast or a cozy meal at home, it’s a wonderful season to help young children learn about gratitude, kindness and togetherness.
