April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a time to come together and raise awareness about the important issue of sexual assault. It is a month dedicated to supporting survivors, promoting education, and working towards a society free from violence.

Let us stand united and break the silence surrounding sexual assault. Together, we can create a safe and inclusive environment where survivors are heard, believed, and supported.

This month, let's educate ourselves and others about consent, boundaries, and the importance of creating a culture of respect. By spreading awareness, we can help prevent sexual assault and support survivors on their journey towards healing.

Join us on April 25th at 4 pm to 6 pm at 11 Westminster St, Lewiston in advocating for change, challenging harmful attitudes, and supporting organizations that provide vital resources to survivors. Together, we can make a difference and create a world where consent is respected and sexual violence is eradicated.

By providing a safe and nurturing environment, these group offers a platform for women and girls to share their experiences, gain support, and develop essential skills to overcome obstacles.

Community health and wellness training is an essential aspect of promoting a healthy and thriving community. It encompasses a range of activities and educational programs designed to educate individuals and empower communities to make informed decisions regarding their health and well-being. We will explore the significance of community health and wellness training and the impact it can have on individuals and community as a whole.

As individuals age, maintaining a healthy diet becomes increasingly important. This is particularly critical for adults over the age of 60, who often face a variety of health challenges. Eating well can help seniors maintain their physical and mental well-being, providing them with the energy they need to stay active and engaged in their daily lives.

We are starting culturally appropriate nutrition classes. We will learn about the importance of eating a balanced diet,

We are organizing a women's hygiene product drive for women and girls in need. We are accepting donations of different hygiene products such as pads, tampons, reusables and incontinence pads
